It isn't technically the EFL, this was an independent commission.

I think issue is that if Wednesday had broken the FFP rules, then the sanctions of points deduction apply in a specific way I.e. as per Wigan case. What actually happened with Wednesday is they were charged not with breaking the FFP rules, but with providing misleading information to EFL to make it appear that had kept within the rules. 
This may be splitting hairs, but because of this it went to an independent  commission, so the section in the EFL rules is a different one. This allows the commission much more discretion as to the penalty and how to apply it. For example on the timing, rule 92.3 says

These sanctions may be imposed immediately or may be deferred or suspended for such period and on such terms as the Disciplinary Commission shall decide

 On that basis, it’s difficult to Charlton being successful on any legal action.

also, one of the three members of the “independent” commission is appointed by the EFL, one by the club involved and one is a lawyer etc. from outside football. You can just imagine the Wednesday representative delaying things as much as possible and trying to get penalties delayed.

Don't know if it is affecting anyone else, but every time I have tried to access transfer thread today, I get a virus alert...other threads seem OK, so posting this as a heads up, just in case

Hope Birmingham are chaotic next season, ending in Karanka getting sacked or walking.

Will time perfectly with Warnock retiring at the end of the season and Aitor coming home to take us to the promised land.

 

I wish Karanka all the best he is going into a basketcase of a club mind.

Rumours now Ayala going there.

Fancy leaving Boro and burning all bridges with the club to sign for Birmingham! 😂

Regardless of what assurances Karanka has been made at Birmingham with regard to transfers and recruitment I honestly can't see their hierarchy keeping their noses out, but if they do go back on their word I can see Aitor sticking to his guns and telling them to shove it.

He didn’t tell Gibbo to shove it when he was “gifted” Rhodes, Downing and Gestede! Continental coaches seem to be more used to owners interfering In team affairs.

Warnock on the other hand...

Well Warnock is in a position & time of life when he can just walk away whenever he likes. Ironically I think it might just make him more diplomatic and easier-going, knowing he can do that...unless Gibson or the board do something that really sticks in his craw.

Karanka OTOH doesn't have the man-management skills that a more experienced coach might have. He seems to have run into problems sooner or later at all the clubs he's managed.

I genuinely wish him all the best, but wouldn't be surprised if things get rocky at Brum.

If Karanka has made it clear that part of the agreement of him taking the Birmingham position is that he has full control on which players come and go (which it  appears the tabloids are stating) and this is reneged on then he has every right to resign his position, because he's going to be undermined whenever they see fit to do so.   

With regard to your post about the players you say were gifted to Karanka by Gibbo perhaps it may be a case of once bitten twice shy and that is why he wants assurances from Birmingham.

Eddie Howe has left bournemouth

[DanFromDownSouth 1,706]

Think Howe going is a bigger blow to Bournemouth's chances of going up next season, than losing players.

I think it might have been his decision ultimately.  I reckon he's happy to move on.

Agree. Think change probably suits all parties.

[DurhamRed 2,047]

Well hopefully Eddie Howe takes a season out and can become our new manager when Warnock retires at end the season having just won us the championship 😎
