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.
 
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

kewell got the job at oldham in the end. should keep another failed manager off the dole for a few weeks. if he,s the best thing latics can do i,d hate to see who the other applicants where. if they do not do a bury i can see them in a season long battle with macclesfield to prop up the division next season.
 
I see Eddie Howe has parted company with Bournemouth 'by mutual consent' - would have thought he had a job for life there
 
Harry Kewell not hanging about signed 2 already mind you he might not have long judging on the time you get there.
 
Harrogate Town looking at promotion to the EFL, plenty of time to hold on yet, but would be a good trip. The Locomotives were the better club in my era.
 
Congratulations to Harrogate, bet Notts County aren't to chuffed though - well done also to Altrincham who were promoted to the Conference proper yesterday after beating Boston

Chuffed to bits for Scotty Brown too, another medal under his belt

Well done Harrogate Town. Good to see a fresh face in the EFL.
Is Scotty Brown still there?????
Checked their team out a few months back & he wasn't mentioned.
Didn't make the team or the subs bench for today's final :confused:

complete opposite for me. its been a bad few weeks for me. leeds getting promotion and now harrogate getting on the league fixture list. really wanted county to get back up. for me the sight of forest green, salford, crawley and now harrogate being league clubs show one thing, if you have the money you can get success. bet some of the wetherby road area residents will be having nightmares now. hope they get hull city in the league cup at home with a tiger fans welcome to the league.
