Don’t think they can appeal this but they can take it to someone higher Court of arbitration for sport maybe
In peace.This was always likely to be the result of the Appeal.EFL boobed when they set up the original panel, for me it was clear cut we called off a fixture and expected a fine and points deducted surely the EFL could have made the call in about a 10 minute session of the board.The EFL for some reason decided an independent panel would sit and make the call, we were as surprised as the rest of the Football World with the fair (some would say lenient) decision they came up with. Now I am not one for stating that the EFL may have created the Independent panel from friends but as said they could have done this amongst themselves.To then appeal this decision was always going to be difficult, do you set a panel then not agree with the decision until subsequent panels finally get to the point you deem correct (Again you are the board make the decision yourself).Finally we can move forwards, I am sure this will leave a foul taste in many mouths but going forwards I hope that you see fit to visit us in the future (Fully accept that this fixture might be too soon). I suspect at the point we are either relegated or by some huge change of fortune rescue ourselves we will either be cheered or feel the angst of the rest of the league and who knows if we save ourselves more legal ramifications may occur. Looking forwards to the rest of the campaign normalising.
We've said we will work with Bolton to rearrange the fixture.Case closed.
We should make a point of not turning up, it's not like we will receive any punishment. I really hope we stand firm and refuse to play them.
I don't understand why we would work with Bolton in order to fulfill this fixture. They refused to play us, no matter the circumstances. They have undermined the integrity of the competition. We should simply refuse to play them. What's the EFL going to do about it? If the rest of the league is unhappy with the decision, surely we will at least have support.Precident has been set, tinpot fine and a suspended points deduction.
