Don't disagree susposidly awful to work for but passed the fit and proper test.

Maybe the Saudis realised that, like a shopper in Sports Direct, if what you buy from him isn’t up to scratch you don’t get your money back, just a voucher for more rubbish.

Sheffield Wednesday handed 12 points deduction for next season escaped a further 21 points after being found not guilty of some breach of rule took ages for this court series of lawyers and the like to come to another inconsistent punishment, Derby meanwhile may have to wait for eternity for their decision what a farce football has become.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

As there was a break away from the EFL in 1992 and they have no powers in this matter.

The WTO objected and the PL can't make a decision without a proper investigation.

thats what you get when the game stopped being a sport and became a big multy million pound business. has the game itself for spectators inproved over the years due to this. might have better grounds to watch games on but thats the end of it. stanley are definately one of the odd men out in the modern game. having an owner, MD and players who are approachable is light years away from the game at the top.

Nothing to do with EFL !

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Quite right mistake on my part but they all pee in the same pot the EFL bow to the premiership anyhow all the same game or it used to be.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Just been reading some tweets from Oldham fans regarding the latest sacking of their manager yesterday and the news that Kewell is the favourite to take over, seven manager,s in 2 years since being taken over by another rouge owner who slipped through the EFL net not one tweet speaks good of their own club one posted shut us down put us out of our misery.

It's inconsistent in the punishment Andy not the process.

The funds for the purchase were put in the accounts for 2017/2018 to avoid a FFP penalty but the deal didn't go through until the following season.

Fiddled the books. Breach of the EFL's Profitability and Sustainability rules.

Also it wasn't a Court matter ...... that might follow if SWFC Appeal.
Papers with their Lawyers as we speak. I expect them to do so. This was a decision handed down by the Independent Tribunal.

The intriguing thing for me is that Aston Villa and Reading did the identical thing ............ but never had points deducted.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Also Andy it wasn't potentially another 21 points - the maximum sanction is 21 points, so another 9.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Exactly my point so inconsistent it's as if one rule for one and one for another Man City springs to mind, as in all walks off life it seems the more money you have some people will do anything for it.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Didn't Man City get hit with a 2 year ban and then it was found their was no evidence of charge of disguising equity investment as sponsorship but still get fined £9m for not cooperating with the investigation. Seems a bit harsh, and is clear protectionism policy by the clubs that control uefa.

You can't punish clubs if there is little or no evidence, just because their rivals want them punished as Uefa found out.
