    Just that,Suspended point deductions for both Derby and SWFC. Unbelievable, after they have broken so many agreed rules,so much so,they are under an embargo.
    I'll go further and say the organisation and it's leadership are incompetent, negligent, unprofessional and potentially corrupt in their behaviour.

    Honestly can't understand why not. If I was a fan I'd be begging for one before the club goes understand!

    Extract from the EFL Disiplinary & Procedures Committee meeting, 9 July 2021.

    Item 3. Non payment of players salaries.

    Chair - Right then, who's involved in this?
    Secretary - Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday
    Chair - Hmmm... Tricky.
    Sec. - Yes, one's managed by a much-loved national hero, the other is one of the biggest clubs in the world with an international fanbase in excess of 600 million.
    Chair - Exactly the kind of clubs we need in the Championship. If only it was some tinpot club... Barnsley or Burnley or whatever they're called. I hate it when these little clubs opt for a sustainable model. It's so much harder to kick them back down to the bottom tier.
    Sec. - We could opt for a suspended punishment. Give Derby and Wednesday a bit more time to get their act together.
    Chair - Brilliant! That'll work. Make sure we announce it this weekend, while everybody's focused on the England game.
    Sec. - I'll get right on it. By the way, Mr Chansiri called. He wants to know if you're still on for golf tomorrow.

    The bit i don't get is the points are suspended. Meaning any future misdemeanour will trigger the point reduction. However Wednesday have incurred 2 x 3Pts. So surely the first suspended one should then be implemented on the second rule breech.

    A supermassive black hole distorts space and time and produces unusual effects. In this case, the black holes are Hillsborough and the void inside Rooney's head.

    Per Wikipedia
    Black holes are a class of objects that have undergone collapse, leaving behind regions of space from which nothing can escape, not even Darren Moore.

    Break another rule and take the three point hit at the start of the season. If they're both as good as they think they are they'll still get promoted by Easter anyway!
