Derby handed more points deductions

Lolz, we'll never play you again!

 

We might be following them at this rate

 

Both Derby and Reading will still finish above us even with point deductions.

 

Makes me a little bit sick for the fans of football clubs when greedy cvnts (I can't see them being anything else) get their hands on a club and go hell bent trying to get to the promised land, gamble massively, CHEAT and end up in League One or Two.

 

Don’t feel sorry for WRDC fans. They openly celebrated what they were doing, even when everyone else knew they were cheating

 

That will finish them off as relegation rivals. I just hope they take points off the other teams down there.

 

And judging by some comments you see, they are (not all) scrambling to understand who might take over so they can spend, spend and spend...

And we should feel sorry for the supporters?

Try being a club like ours, that will sell its gold teeth for a few bob if given the chance

 

errrrm.... have you checked the league table lately?

 

we will still go down.

 

We need to stay up. If we go down, I don't think we'll bounce straight back up. Most of the squad would leave. This managerial appointment is crucial (stating the obvious here).

 

That's the spirit.

 

Well that's them gone then. They now need this season to be a play off standard season just to get enough points to stay up. And it's not looking good on that front for them so far!

 

If for any reason a club ends up with anything more than a 12 point deduction in a particular season for a totting up of offences and they should be relegated end of story. Only consideration is on how serious the offences were and how many divisions that they be relegated. It's about time the league started toughening up on financial offences.

 

I seem to remember Luton and Bournemouth being hammered a few years ago (30 plus points deducted?) but they recovered quite well didn’t they. Swindon were denied Premier League one season as well, but that was before the really big money was there.

The FA/EFL are far too soft on clubs these days where financial cheats are concerned

Agree, breaking rules should bring an automatic relegation.

 

Swindon was before the premier League existing.

They won the 2nd Division (now champ) playoff final against Sunderland and were denied promotion to 1st Division (Prem). And was relegated to Div 3 (now league 1). But upon appeal was allowed to stay in Div 2 (champ)

Sunderland was placed in top Division instead, and Tranmere was supposed to replace them but remained in div 3 (now league 1)

My brain just hurt trying to relive and explain that
