Neverbefore 10,695 Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Seen ole having a good whine about the fixture congestion at the moment. Surely they should be happy that they've not been docked points for a failure to fulfil the fixture that caused the congestion... Ah wait, they're not an unfashionable club from the north east. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ScarBoro 836 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Article in DM suggests that the accounting practice they followed remove £30m of losses from FFP calculation over the three year period. Not exactly small change! Isn’t it nearly as much as the profit they “made” on selling the stadium? I hope they do get a points deduction this year. If not, you can see why Wycombe are thinking of legal action. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That relagated them kept Derby up so it is abit messy if Derby deduction isn't applied this season aswell 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,246 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 There's a deadline in March for matters affecting the current season. I don't know how that sits following an appeal but it's probably unlikely they'll be relegated. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If not, you can see why Wycombe are thinking of legal action. As I understand it the figures are a lot less than that but that might not be the case of course. I thought it was the stadium sale that had the bigger impact. Either way, they won't get a points deduction this season, as Humpty said there is a cut off for a punishment to take place. Part of me thinks that the reason these panels are giving their decisions after the March cut off point is a deliberate action to push any punishments over to the following season, so that nothing they do effects the current one. No proof of course, just a hunch. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Wigan got a deduction that applied to the current season if they stayed up & the following season if they went down. Same should happen to Derby really. Although after thinking about it they are for different things so it probably can't happen that way, but still. It should. *** Derby.

Changing Times 12,218 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Wigan went into administration rather than this. I wouldn't even bank on a points deduction at all. This appeal is solely based on one aspect of what they got charged with a while back, not the entire case with the ground and everything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Interesting that this was known 10 days ago and Derby threatened legal action if anyone printed it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't want it to effect their preparations for the final games I would guess. Imagine the story coming out that the EFL have won the appeal, but no actual judgement is released, so all kinds of rumours do the rounds about might happen. Wouldn't be ideal for any of the clubs involved. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 so basically we can just expect them to get a fine rather than the mass orchidectomy that popular opinion favours. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No proof of course, just a hunch. Ultimately, of course, the accounting differences must zero out - the different method simply allowed them to delay the losses so as to avoid going over the FFP limit in a specific 3 year period. It did seem a high figure - but they were making huge losses and so in the short term it might have been necessary to delay a huge amount. you would think the valuations they put on players might have been designed to just avoid the FFP loss limits. As far as points deduction, I can see it getting very messy - if no penalty applies this season, then appealing has meant they stay up instead of Wycombe. Even SW must feel aggrieved - if Derby had had a points deduction, then, in theory, there would have been little to play for in last game and SW might have won and survived. You can see either Wycombe or Wednesday starting court action, even if it is very likely to fail. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

To me there has to be a set time limit or something like that, in which the case and any appeal needs to be heard and dealt with. Things being dragged out doesn't benefit the football league, it can only really benefit the club involved by delaying any potential punishments until it's too late to effect that season. Mind you, it would be helpful if the EFL could do it's job properly in the first place. If they sign off on things then they should be ok. Shouldn't need to be going back to look at things from a couple of years ago to see if it was actually ok or not at the time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
