Bolton points deductions

Looks like EFL say too lenient and are to appeal it

Just who is in charge of this Mickey Mouse League we call the EFL?

Who in their wisdom decided that they would allow an Independent Disciplinary Commission to work the 'punishment' out?

Who was on this so called Independent Commission board?

This stinks to high heaven!

Millertop says they haven't bottled it, I have to disagree with that as it clearly shows Bolton have been 'looked after'

Radio DeeDah just said that latest rumour is that Bolton will get a fine and a 5-point (suspended) points deduction for postponing fixture against Donny. Donny will not be awarded three points, and will still have to play Bolton

It's 3 points for the Donny match and 2 points for the Brentford match last season
£20,000 fine for Brentford £50,000 for Donny.

As Bramley says - wtf does "suspended" actually mean in this case?
As Brin says - who are this Disciplinary body? Where is their explanation of these "punishments"

Founder club getting looked after ./..Nothing to see here.

This should have been the punishment imho..

1. Doncaster awarded a 3 nil win
2. Bolton 5 point deducted for the game last season
3. Bolton fined 50k suspended for 2 years and implicated against any more infractions ..

Seems Doncaster have got the ****ty end of the stick here .

Why couldn't the EFL have their own investigation and disciplinary body? Thought that was their job! Now they are going to appeal against a decision made by a body that they needlessly set up! Complete farce - they couldn't organise a "p*ss-up" in a brewery...

I can see the need for an independent body. There are 9 directors on the board of the EFL . 6 of them are club directors. The commission is independent to avoid allegations of bias between "mates". I've no Idea who sits on the commission or how they are chosen.
