Wasn't the latest news that EFL was looking into Derby and therefore Wednesday might also be in danger, or has there been anything more concrete about either club? Link to post Share on other sites

It's the other way around, Sheffield Wednesday are the club that are most in trouble, Derby are the side show. Not heard anything more on Derby recently, but there was a little thing the other day about other EFL clubs wanting the harshest punishment for Sheff Wed. Birmingham weren't deducted points till late March last season, so I suppose we'll see next month. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) My dad knows somebody on the board for Sheffield United and I know some info on Wednesday. They are massively over FFP and the owner has been very very dodgy. The talked about punishment will affect our league position and everyone else's that's all I can say on that matter. He also stated by villa getting promoted the planned 21 point deduction couldn't be implement. Again I'm just passing on what my dad has told me from one of his clients. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bonkers how poorly we did then with the squad we had, in my opinion he done an even worse job that woody is doing given the resources available. Braithwaite got injured after the first game and didn't play for 6 weeks or so? He obviously didn't trust/have faith in Traore so he didn't play much. He did get himself sent off at Villa after like 5 mins, which probably didn't help his cause a great deal. I think that came right after he'd played well at Bolton so he probably couldn't have timed it worse. I think we ended up trying to play with Assombalonga up front, Gestede on the left and Bamford on the right if I remember rightly, at least for a few games anyway. That's never gonna bloody work 😬 Link to post Share on other sites

If they give a full points deduction then it won't be Monk taking them down will it? It will be the points deduction that has taken them down. Last season we finished 7th and they finished 12th. The season before it was 5th and 15th. This season they are 12th and we are 18th. As much as Monk has done bugger all, he doesn't appear to have made them any worse than they were. Sadly, we can't say the same for our manager. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 What a way to stave off the threat of relegation now that would paper the cracks and would include a coat of emulsion as well! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It should include sales of Bamford Adama Gibson and also the removal of Downings salary. Dont think it includes sale of Braithwite and Flint though. What it will show is the full work of Pulis who regularly referred to financial balancing he was doing during last season. What it will show is that we sold those players and brought in a lot of revenue to the club. Pulis was largely irrelevant in that. Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if Villa were to be relegated this season would the 21 points deduction apply from the start of next season in the championship? Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like he is joining Barca imminently and they are ready to pay his release clause which is thought to be around 16 million pounds. That's roughly 10 million more than we sold him for iirc, so you'd hope we inserted a decent clause to counter the fee that was significantly lower than what we paid. What a profit for Leganes though in only 7 months. On the flip side, relegation threatened Leganes lose (probably) their best striker to Barcelona and aren't allowed to sign a replacement. Awesome. 👍 If I was a Leganes fan I'd be fuming. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome. 👍 If I was a Leganes fan I'd be fuming. Yes totally agree. They shouldn’t be allowed to force a sale with anybody outside the transfer window given the selling club can’t sign a replacement. It should need to be with the consent of the selling club. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
