I suspect he would. Wouldn't make me wrong though.
Tyke.And the new owner wasn't aware of that information when he bought the club?THAT is the key to the issue.
Bolton, Wycombe, Wigan. Three utterly dreadful decisions.
Surely the bookies can just refuse to pay out on Wigan's relegation due to suspicious circumstances?
Quote from: BillyStubbsTears on August 04, 2020, 07:08:37 pmBolton, Wycombe, Wigan. Three utterly dreadful decisions. I don't think it's fair to put Wycombe in the same bracket to be honest, it's completely different to the situations with Bolton and Wigan. PPG may not have been the way forward but it was applied across the leagues so that's just that. Barnet were 11th in the National League but made the Play Offs and could easily have won promotion, so it's not just Wycombe, who happened to beat two other teams to earn promotion.Anyway, I wish Wigan had stayed up but understand why the deduction has been applied. The fact Wednesday have avoided relegation this season despite their impropriety - wilful on the part of their owners - sticks though. That isn't fair.
My honest two penneth .On the field have we deserved to stay up ? , absolutely not , we've given it a good go but in points earned on the field we fell short .Do I have any sympathy for Wigan Athletic ? .None what so ever , they've lived beyond their means for years .This is a smaller club than ourselves and I haven't seen us enjoy a good number of seasons in the PL .I haven't seen us beat Manchester City to win the FA cup and I've never seen us in Europe either .They've had a good run on money they never generated through turnover and it's caught up with them .There's a price to pay for reaching the heights they've hit as a small club and they've paid that price today in my opinion .They aren't the first and they won't be the last either to suffer this fate .You eventually reap what you sow .
Tyke.May I politely point out that you are utterly missing the point.It's not about Wigan. It's not about how they are managed.It's not about Barnsley. Or how THEY are managed.It's about a crook, scamming the game, and being given a nod through by the inadequate EPL processes.This is where we are.Barnsley have gained. The entire game has lost. THAT is why it's an outrage against natural justice.I humbly suggest that, right now, you are too close to the issue to see the wood for the trees. You will. One day.
Tyke.You obviously aren't reading my posts before replying to them. I'll spell it out again.It's nothing to do with Wigan.
The reasons for Owls points deduction applying next season have been published.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53803735Note the EFL wanted to apply the sanction immediately but the Independant panel ruled against it.
But doesn’t the fact that it is an independent panel, take away any thought that the EFL may be biased.?Folks on here were saying the EFL were favouring Wednesday but throwing the book at Macclesfield. So if it is now clear the timing of the Wednesday punishment is not the EFL’s doing, will posters now start to be more thoughtful when they instantly criticise the EFL for every perceived failing.?

DBR, I see your point about the way an independent panel is formed, and how the guidelines are followed. The thing I question is the results being the same every time, the small club gets hammered and the big club gets a slap on the wrist. Very independent, and in fairness they have a ten out of ten record up to press. You can throw in the Teves affair as well if you want.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be Independant.There are guidelines in the rules about the make up on an Independant panel and whom appoints the personnel!It's another blow for the EFL in any case. Yes, Wigan could be another Bolton/Bury. Let's hope the EFL have learned from last season and dont allow Wigan to start the season unless a buyer is in place.
