They've correctly (imho) predicted that although Washday should be deducted points the FA wont do it because thwey havent got the bottle!
i think it'll take more bottle NOT to deduct them points they know that if they let the pigs off then they are opening up the floodgates for any team to field ineligable players and gain points. They also know (or should do) that their reputation would be shattered
They'll probably delay the decision until they know that deducting a point will make no difference either way
Thats guaranteed to have them 1 point from safety at the end then Look what delaying did to West Ham last season
