EFL season over

[tyke1962]

The reason we weren’t penalised that season Tyke was because there’s a cut off point where it takes effect the following season. We would actually have preferred it that season because we were going down anyway but trying to get any kind of sensible decision out of the EFL is as you know rather hard.

All the problems we had over the cancelled Donny game could have been avoided if they had given Donny the 3 points and penalised us financially separately but oh no, let’s just drag it out. In fact if that had awarded Donny the points it could have meant you making the play offs so there are big affects. Don’t bet on them making points deductions this year for those transgressing because they would only open up another legal challenge. Basically the EFL are not fit for purpose and need to be replaced with a totally independent body from the clubs.

Well the EFL may look at ourselves as one of the small fish in the Championship but they'd be well advised to be aware that the consortium who own us are not .

Worth a collective £9bn with access to the best legal teams money can buy .

I'm not personally trying to desperately cling on to our championship status here at all costs , our failings on the field are acknowledged by me all too well .

However this isn't right either and needs challenging , this isn't our fight , it's every clubs fight of our size trying to compete in the Championship .

The EFL are corrupt to the core and someone needs to call them out as such .

What is really frustrating for everyone is the lack of clarity on timescales for when these investigations and disciplinaries should be heard by etc. Everyone is left in limbo. Yes, some matters are more complex than others but if the rules were to state that a disciplinary will be heard within 28 days of the charges being brought or something, at least everyone knows what's happening.

If either side wish to apply for an extention to that deadline then they must be able to provide a good explanation.

The other observation is how much time have Birmingham taken up as a result of being repeat offenders?? Maybe different regimes there but they seem to be at it, one way or another, with alarming regularity.

Birmingham definitely fit the bill of serial offenders , so clearly they have satisfied themselves that whatever punishment they receive its minimal .

If Birmingham played on the continent they'd have been instantly demoted and in severe cases by two divisions .

I genuinely hope so we don’t want him anywhere near Wanderers. Same boring football Parky put on us.
