EFL/ministry of sport investigation

I’ve paid my £30 to the supporters club as well Kenglo and like you feel that if the EFL punish us harshly there should be an appeal. Like you I also consider that we were fully punished last year for the Brentford game and that should not be brought up again this year. Unlike you though I think we will and quite rightly,be punished for calling off the Doncaster match. It’s true that it wasn’t FV who made the decision but since they are now our owners, they will be responsible for any penalties arising and if they feel it’s unfair they will have to take it up with the Administrator. Doncaster were totally innocent in the decision and as a general rule you just can’t have clubs arbitrarily calling off games without going through the proper channels. If it were that simple, I’d just award the game and 3 points to Donny but I’m afraid it’s not simple because if the EFL did do that they would face challenge from other clubs who might be affected. I’ve no doubt they’re looking at all the legal implications but I’m not sure they’ll find an easy way out of it whichever way they turn. I suspect they are delaying until we have more points on the board so that if we do receive a points deduction it won’t take us back to a negative position but that’s just a wild guess. Personally, I think the longer they take the worse it gets for them so let’s hope a statement is made soon to at least move us on the the next step if necessary.
