Bolton points deductions

[Brin]

The meanest thing the EFL could do is give the points to the opponents and forfeit the games

Now they are sorted and have a playing squad, They should make them Play all the missed games. Trouble is making other teams get these games in somewhere mid week.

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

[Nardendee]

Will they pass Go and get £200 or will they go directly to jail?
I think it’s time to draw a line under it and I wish them (Bolton) well in their fight to stay up. It is commendable that they will still have to play Doncaster although Doncaster themselves should be deducted points for the fixture not being originally fulfilled and because I don’t like them.
They used to know their place but in recent years they have developed delusions of grandeur. 👀

5 point, suspended, deduction

Until when ?
What will trigger the deduction ?

EFL opened a massive can of worms IMO
Can't be @r$€d to play ? No problem, call it off and get a suspended punishment.

Feel even sorry for Bury

Farrad - 3 points deducted asap

EFL have bottled this big time and have set a whole new precedent to all clubs, in that they may well refuse to play a game and only expect a suspended deduction.... what a farce.

Radio DeeDah said 18 months. ie until end of 2020/21 season

[Townerslovechild]

In other words no punishment at all.

They haven’t bottled it just finding a way to make sure they only punish them as little as possible like they have all through their problems unlike other clubs who they threw book at.

Keith Hill couldn’t be more two faced if he tried

Half of the £70K is suspended for eigh**** months as well mike.
They have set a precedence, let's see what they do if any other clubs get into financial difficulties.
