12 point deduction- next season. The EFL have bottled it, as was expected.3 -
Disgraceful2

This is a fantastic opportunity to sue the EFL for a lot of money. I mean, they sat on this to avoid an outcome and it won't be hard to prove. We all knew Wednesday were guilty. The problem is, the EFL have the power to kick us out of the league!
What is serious in general, is that Wednesday may get enough points next season to effectively avoid any punishment. They didn't this season! They may not have got relegated with players they bought and kept paying who they shouldn't have.2 -
Absolute fucking joke. They've basically got away with cheating. If we had competent owners we'd sue the EFL over this.9
-
Wow wow wow. Not surprised in the slightest, but this is disgraceful. And angers me so much that if we weren’t such a mess ourselves, we would likely sue them. It’s beyond a joke and -12 is absolutely nothing either, pathetic punishment.13
-
So if this season technically hasn't finished until the play off final is done, and fixtures for next season are not released yet, why can't they deduct it this season?8
-
Absolutely shocking!Terrible decision from the EFL, but then again what do you expect!Is there anything CAST can do to bring a lawsuit/overturn the decision so that it happens this season?0
-
-12 next season is fine by EFL as they know we are not in a position to appeal/sue. If we had a decent owner in place, I’m unsure they’d have placed the deduction into next season.0

How much would it cost us to get a legal expert to challenge this? The solution may be to not relegate us and have an extra team, but ESI have no interest in this opportunity. Can we do something as fans? Wigan have a different but valid argument here too.

Gutless efl. What sort of punishment is that? Pathetic. Theyve got the whole of next season to get those 12 points,theyll easily make that up. Ridiculous. EFL not fit for purpose.0
-
Really why is anybody surprised,this now needs an avalanche of media coverage,this company cannot be allowed to continue like this.0
-
The EFL must really hate us.0

I've said several times on Charlton life that the EFL is corrupt .
I stand by this 100%.
Bunch of cnuts12 -
I see it as like cheating on an exam, getting caught, but when the results come through they let you pass anyway, but mark you down on the next one.
Utterly absurd from those wankers once again.7 -
There's also no way this decision was only reached today. They must've reached a verdict a couple of weeks ago and decided to delay announcing it.6

If I was a Wigan fan I would ask, why does our 12 points happen this season? Why did they sit on the verdict, because if it really was as complicated as the time taken suggested, they couldn't have found Wednesday guilty. Let's be honest, the facts of the case have been common knowledge for a while and they were facts not interpretations of complex information that showed Wednesday were guilty as sin.2
-
Watch all the other cheating bastards do the same,EFL have unleashed a shit storm,here was an excellent opportunity to punish a guilty party and they did not want to know.2

Ridiculous considering the offence took place years ago, and the club were charged last November2
-
Can someone with Farnell’s number drop him a message , asking If /encouraging the club To take action0
-
It’s like a bloke getting done for drink driving at Christmas last year, being found guilty and being allowed to drink to this year’s Christmas party.2
-
If Wednesday stay up next season, it will be seen as letting them off! In any other league, it would be an automatic relegation.2
-
Will probably work out being no punishment at all.
They only have to get 12 more points than the likes of Coventry, Rotherham and Wycombe and they've got away with it.0 -
I do hope Wigan win their own appeal now
Cant be one punishment for one club and another one for a different team2 -
Not sure what people were expecting.3
-
I hope wigan win there appeal cos i wanna see what barnsley do3

The word 'reasonable' is a favourite word in law. The question is surely, was it reasonable for a club charged in November, not to receive a verdict until the last day of July in the next year? What was the nature of the independent panel, why did it take so long? Was the decision that complex to reach? I think it could very well be dodgy ground for the EFL. Their luck is that they haven't got Barnsley in our position. Surely this should be the end of this not fit for purpose organisation! A jobs for the boys stitch up if ever there was one.
Why can't Wigan ask for another chance to beat the 12 point deduction this season. True, they didn't manage it this season, but nor did Wednesday!0 -
You'd at least expect the punishment to apply this season.cafcsinger said:Not sure what people were expecting.
They were charged this season, their hearing was this season, the verdict was announced this season............but the punishment is applied next season. How does that work?
