3 points deducted, 3 more suspend for 2 years for not paying football creditors on time is my guess. We’ll also have to cover Doncaster’s costs - they can use that to get rid of flood water from their dump

Fred Talbot? Guess we will find out then if this season is a write off or not, it could put a dampener on tomorrow's game

Just as we are nearing positive points - typical

Whatever punishment the EFL dish out, they're a set of cunts.

We should be awarded points for having to suffer sweaty Ken for 3 years after the EFL passed him on a Fit and Proper persons test.

Which is the salient point in all of this. 
 

The punishments don’t affect the previous cunts but affect the new owners and the supporters. 
 

If new owners were required to deposit a bond when taking over with the EFL which was lost for situations such as ours, it would certainly affect the ones who’d steered the ship into the murky waters and maybe encourage responsible ownership.

I'm going for a suspended 3 point deduction for Brentford which was then activated by Doncaster with a further 3 points deducted for that with an additional fine. End result, 6 points and a few quid lighter. At least we'll have the chance to win the points back from Doncaster, something which really would boil some piss.

Middlesborough got a 3 point deduction for refusing to play there game back in the 90's so anything above 6 points the EFL will have a lot to answer for

The hearing is about the two games nothing to do with football creditors. Even the EFL know that charging us now for Ken's historic actions regarding paying people on time would be a pisstake.

A decent legal team would get away with no immediate points deduction.

My thoughts too.

Maybe a fine for the way we went about postponing the Donny game, but some appreciation of the circumstances wouldn't go amiss.

i don't see how a points deduction can be avoided given they have already done it previously for the same issue.

[Carlos]

Get in Dame Hilary Stonefrost.

[Take Hunt Off]

We will get hammered imo the fact it is an ' independant ' panel will get the EFL off the hook & they have offloaded the responsibility ......shitehawks.

Was she not just Kens bitch??

[MalcolmW]

She's represented a lot of clubs.

[Zico]

3 points for Doncaster is fair enough, we may have got away with it had we consulted the EFL and Doncaster first, but the fact we didn't and just decided to call it off means, IMO, the EFL have to dish out a penalty as you can't set a precedent that allows clubs to call off when they see fit

[Spider]

They can fuck off

Its not a legal matter. Its a league disciplinary matter. No legal team in the world can do anything about this.

And we can still effectively win the points back yet.

Not true. The ruling is whatever it is, but it can be challenged.

[Plums]

I can’t see us getting a light touch. Think the generic thinking would be that if this goes unpunished then other clubs could do the same when the fixtures pile up. Liverpool at the moment could be an interesting development.
