I'm still struggling with why a points deduction for a game played this season is applied next season

If we hadn't played a game in October, it wouldn't be a points deduction the following season

Because there's needs to be a punishment. Like going into admin after you've gone down and taking the points deduction that season. It's no punishment 

If a player gets sent off on the last day of the season, doesn't their ban roll over to the next season? 

If the points deduction had come last season, we would've been punished -  by finishing below Ipswich.

It would've been interesting what would've happened the season before, with the Forest game...

Why should a new owner, new players, and possibly a new manager, be punished for an offence committed before they even arrived?

Coz the EFL are useless and will hammer us to shift any blame from them. We should have 3 points deducted from last season, history then shows we finished bottom and -12 start next year as per the clear rule no problem with that.

Tough one. They shouldn't but then there are no powers available to the EFL to punish the outgoing owners. And if, for example, Wigan had failed to play their last game in similar circumstances I'd not want them to be able to avoid punishment simply by changing owners. I think personally that 12 points should be the maximum points deduction in any one season and that any further points deduction should be deferred into the next season. It would be ridiculous to start on -21 points for example and make a mockery of the league. But the EFL haven't got their rules in place. Useless.

Another angle to our possible, further points deduction for not fulfilling our fixtures is...........some of the striking shithouses will probably be at rival div1 clubs next season & could therefore, possibly benefit from a further points deduction to us caused by their shithousery.

To be fair the club/players knew the rules on forfeiting games.

Did they bollocks, otherwise we would all know by now

There isn't a defined punishment

It's a shambles

Why doesn’t everyone do it then? They know it’s not going to end up well? The league are clueless but I’m sure the punishment will come

You said we knew the rules

We don't because we still don't know

I agree we knew there would be some punishment but for it not to be clearly defined is amateurish

Anyway, I'm sure whatever is chucked at us will be appealed as the offence was last season

I think you knew what I meant.

Aye obviously let’s hope it can be avoided.

My point being we can’t moan if it’s dished out.

Sorry mate, I agree I knew there would be a punishment

But for it not to be clearly defined in the rules

Ie level of punishment and when is piss poor

Lets say bury had failed to play their game

Punishment last season or next?

I think there would be a consensus that it should be last

How about you?

Difficult. I think if you apply the punishment to last season it wouldn’t of done any damage in reality. It could open up to more abusing. For example would Macclesfield and Bury have done similar if their seasons had petered out as ours did? With no threat of further punishment I suspect they would of followed suit.
