My only hope is the EFL are lowering our already low expectations so they seem miraculous by doing the thing they should've done months ago1

I never wanted us to finish outside of the bottom three on anything other than merit!!...Its why I kept wanting a Blackburn win over Luton (and thought Brentford would win) to ensure thatChris_from_Sidcup said:

I wont mind as much if Wigan win their appeal as feel they've been cheated by their owners and whilst the Administration rules are pretty clear I'd be quite happy if they stayed upBrian said:
If Wigan win their appeal against their deduction then Barnsley are relegated so they may still well have an interest in the points being deducted this season. Of course it would mean we would be second bottom so Sheffield Wed points deduction becomes irrelevant.ForeverAddickted said:What with Barnsley still very much pushing for a punishment I wonder what their preference is
e.g. Do they want Sheffield Wednesday to get the points deduction this season because it fits in with when they commited the "crimes" and is the fair option as they will be relegated
Or would they prefer it get applied next season so they've already got an advantage over one of their rivals
Sheffield Wednesday on the other hand have quite blunty cheated and deserve any action coming their way
I agree that Wigan deserve to stay up and they've been shafted by the owners but you can't go into admin and get away without a points deduction as it opens up all kinds of issues for when it happens to the next club.
Agree that any team that goes into Admin should get a points deduction and it does open up all kinds of issues
In Wigan's case though its not the same, the owner only took over a month before making the decision - Foul play has to be at work and if Wigan get saved on that basis then I wont have issue with it
If we're saved because of Sheffield Wednesday AND Wigan then I'll be delighted but I'll still feel sympathy towards the latter, whereas I wont at all for the former5 -
It's all gone so far now it's way beyond a joke anyway.
The EFL can't seriously expect us to believe the hearing is still going on and the independent commission are still deliberating? Sheff Weds lawyer has been on holiday for a week!
The whole thing stinks.11 -
thickandthin63 said:Barnsley are a well run and honest football club,and I think it sticks in their throat that other so called big clubs can get away with cheating,but for Wigan Barnsley would be down,while the cheats prosper.How can Derby pay Rooney 8ok a week,and find 10m for Christian Bielec,absolute farce if either or both do not get a points deduction this season.
Yes but they also identified us although veiled0 -
Its a deliberate stall as they know the impact....We are League One and need to accept it through the anger and tears...
Sheffield 'bent' Wednesday will get 12 point plus off next season and all we will from the English Fraud League is blah blah blah...difficult case, we needed to be sure....integrity bullshit!1 -
The SW case finished weeks ago. Their solicitor then acted for Derby in their case straight afterwards.Chris_from_Sidcup said:It's all gone so far now it's way beyond a joke anyway.

That was from last Friday. So the "expecting to hear this week" is now last week.PeterGage said:1 -
The adverse effects of Wednesday's cheating occurred to their Championship rivals, THIS season.
Therefore any punishment has to be handed out and applied to their standing, this season, not next, in order to compensate their rivals.
It should be an iron clad legal argument !
We currently have the most eminent Lawyer in the whole of football working for us, so we should be absolutely fine

How hard is it for EFL to say that in independent investigation found Sheff and Derby guilty and the penalty is a 12 point deduction applied this season FFS1

They'll leave it as long as they can and then say the season is over and it will be deducted next season I'm sure that's always been the plan.ct_addick said:How hard is it for EFL to say that in independent investigation found Sheff and Derby guilty and the penalty is a 12 point deduction applied this season FFS4 -
But why....?? Just so Sheff W dont go down this season. ? They had plenty of time post Covid to win enough games to stay up. Not anyones fault but theirs if a 12 point deduction sends them down. Even a 9 point one would do. Also starting next season on -12 could have the same effect so why prolong it.Nug said:

Because Sheff Wed can appeal if found guilty which will cause a lot of disruption for the affected clubs, especially if the appeal is upheld. Just seems it will make life easier to apply it to next seasongolfaddick said:

I can see them being told they are very naughty boys and not to do it again. No points deducted.1

If they gave them a 21 point deduction they may re think an appeal. May have it cut but starting next season on minus a lot of points would probably relegate them next season and players would not want to join them.siblers said:

Better to take the hit this season and build back up.0 -
They are being linked with lots of players. They are still cheating! I’m not just saying this as it favours us but action needs to be immediate to stop their cheating.Redrobo said:

I'd love to see a 21 points deduction to Wayne Rooney's Derby, and see the stupid goblin have to play in the EFL Trophy bollocks4

The EFL won't dock Wednesday points this season as it means we would stay in the championship, and the EFL's agenda seems to be to either relegate us or expel us from the league. At the moment, expulsion seems to be the EFL's preferred choice.0

They may be linked to lots of players but no player is going to sign for them until their fate is known.Todds_right_hook said:

Deduct Wednesday 12-pts, Charlton disappear from the League so Wigan stay up else the Championship has 25-teams next season0 -
I do t think the efl have a deliberate agenda to pick on Charlton. I think our owners lack of cooperation and helpfulness might play a part in itIsawsummersplay said:The EFL won't dock Wednesday points this season as it means we would stay in the championship, and the EFL's agenda seems to be to either relegate us or expel us from the league.

Telegraph article:
The English Football League is under renewed pressure from furious Championship clubs to resolve the charges hanging over Sheffield Wednesday and Derby.Wednesday and Derby are facing the prospect of points deductions if found guilty of breaking EFL rules, and rival clubs are growing increasingly frustrated that the disputes have not been concluded.Both clubs have appeared in front of independent disciplinary commissions and the EFL is now waiting for the verdicts, with the majority of the Championship now demanding a resolution by the end of this week.Wigan Athletic’s appeal against a 12-point deduction for going into administration will be heard on Friday, but at this stage they will be relegated along with Hull City and Charlton.Yet a heavy points deduction for Wednesday, who ended the season eight points clear of the bottom three, could have a huge impact on the final relegation places.Wednesday were charged by the EFL in November with financial misconduct, relating to the sale of their Hillsborough stadium, and are still waiting to discover the outcome of June’s hearing.Derby’s own disciplinary hearing concluded earlier this month and sources close to the club insist there is no possibility of a verdict this season. Derby were charged with exceeding “excess losses” in a case also linked to their stadium.Barnsley ensured their survival on the final day by winning at Brentford, staying up by one point, and the club have been vocal on the lack of action.Paul Conway, Barnsley’s co-chairman, told Telegraph Sport on Monday: “We at Barnsley want a stronger and more strict English Football League. We want to empower the EFL to make quicker and stricter decisions.“[But] Much of the blame needs to be put on the clubs themselves. Some clubs may be scared of retribution for speaking out but I also believe some of these clubs want to reserve their rights to create their own sketchy deals to attempt to skirt EFL regulations and limit enforcement.”The frustration of other Championship clubs has increased due to the uncertainty over when the punishment, if any, will be imposed. Sanctions range from points deductions to a fine or transfer embargo.Disciplinary panels have the power to announce the verdicts and it remains unclear whether any deductions will be applied to this season’s table or the start of the next campaign.One senior Championship official, who did not want to be named, said: “It’s a disgrace, and Barnsley are spot on when they accuse the EFL of not maintaining integrity.“I can understand the Wigan situation because of the timing and the rules permitting an appeal within a timeframe, but the fact Sheffield Wednesday is unresolved is amazing and brings the EFL into disrepute.”The Championship season finished on Wednesday, and the next campaign will restart on September 12.7
