Points Deduction

[Omegstrat6]

Absolutely scandalous on two points-1)that the accounts were submitted in December and yet it's taken until now for the EFL to announce their decision regarding a points deduction and 2) that the breach seems to be due to a change in the rules regarding the immunity of community investment via the Albion Foundation. Small wonder the club and fans are fuming!

In the meantime, cool heads need to prevail and, as Morrison said in his last post match interview, he and the players need to do their talking on the pitch and aim to get as many points as we can from our last two games. Do that and we will survive which is the most important thing and f u ck the idiots at the EFL who have caused all this 😡

Apparently the club have decided not to appeal the EFL points deduction and accept the 2 points deduction. Probably best to let it go now and concentrate on next season.

If anyone wants to read it all and provide a summary, that would be great. :-)

Best we move on now Stargazer due to being safe but still - the EFL are a bunch of incompetent idiots

I did have a read of the document before I fell asleep and it seems the interest on the loan payments seem to have been the problem and the loan is not yet serviced so will hamper us next season.
Seems the Southampton controversy is more interesting

I think it's more a case of recency than showing more of an interest in all things Southampton SG. Talking of which I'll be interested to see how Southampton's legal costs for their appeal impact their SCR this coming season, that KC of theirs won't have been as cheap as their appeals for leniency in the face of blatant cheating.

WBA meanwhile were docked two points in real time due in part for the funding of a charitable foundation which earned them the accolade of Community Club of the Year....... from the EFL; which essentially docked us the two points. Intetesting. As Al would say, 'you couldn't make it up' .
