Just noticed that Macclesfield have been docked 6 points + 4 points suspended for calling off the Crew game. Let’s see if that has any bearing on us COYWM

Was that voted by an independent committee. My guess is they knew that was coming and thats the reason they appealed our lenient decision.
Still think no two clubs are the same and each should have thier day in...a tribunal hearing.
Again cannot see why they went against an impartial view but think they want a one size fits all deterrent.

What do we think is the likely impact of Rick Parry as the EFL new CEO? As I recall he has Liverpool connections and that would not seem to be helpful to us. I also wonder what the delay is about in announcing the result of the second panel on our case. The Macc sin was committed many months after ours. Is politics a work here ?
Meantime I am pleased the the Supporters Trust is ready to use some of the money subscribed against an appeal. That should help FV.

I see Macclesfield's point deduction as bad news for us.
The EFL have now set a precedent - which other club owners have been baying for - and I think they will expect an equivalent points deduction to come to us.
There are numerous reasons why the situation with Macclesfield is not the same as us, including an independent panel already having imposed a penalty and the FA's own rules on protecting young players, but I think other clubs want their pound of flesh and importantly ensuring that one ore relegation place is taken so only 2 places left to avoid.

They haven't asked for a financial penalty from Macclesfield because they have no money. When our "offence" was committed we had no money either. In that situation why try to take money off FV ? These guys are supposed to be there to preserve the game, which includes their clubs. Why are they allowed to inflict such swingeing penalties on their members, whose interest they are there to preserve, and what do they do with any cash that they draw from such cases? Isn't it time for a fuller inquiry by the Government into their powers and influences ?
