    No problem godsend. To be honest I've seen your version posted so many times, even in the media, that I've doubted my understanding - but reading the actual rules I always come to the same conclusion. And - yes let's hope we don't need to rely on other clubs points deductions

    Hudds are only 4 points behind us so it would be useful for our survival.
    I’m absolutely fine if other teams are deducted points

    Only problem is flourbasher if we survive because of other clubs deductions we will then be tagged as surviving by default - the same remarks like when we got promoted by ppg or whatever it was called back in League 1.

    Alternatively we could just say f.uck everyone else - - -

    Yes there is that but my response to that lot over in S6 is that the others cheated and gained an unfair advantage by bending the rules
    So when the likes of Reading, Wigan and Huddersfield sign or pay players much more than we do when they can’t afford it then it puts us at a significant disadvantage for large parts of the season

    So I’m going remind any detractors that Neil Warnock won’t be cheap, Wigan out bid us for the services of Ashley Fletcher (that was a close one) and the wages of Andy Carroll are probably off the scale (one goal and one assist vs us)

    I like your last suggestion too

    Just waiting for the EFL to come after us for watergate.. Cardiff are lobbying hard for points off/a replay at 42 mins or complete forfeit the fixture . I expect a replay but its the EFL we are dealing with, would not be surprised they invent a rule to fk us .To be fair although funny at the time and i really do not think it would have made and difference at the time dragging water back onto the pitch didn't look that impressive and seen as its gone viral on twitter I'm bracing myself for a punishment

    Yeah, It'll be nice to know what's officially the verdict is, but, we know what should happen, but this is little old, easy target, Rovrum, so we could be thrown out of the league.............utm

    I do know there are people out there that would buy them - very doubtful new owners would take substantial debt on.
    It's only last season Huddersfield made the playoffs.

    Just a thought - if Huddersfield do happen to go into admin this week & the administrator has to have a 'fire' sale to cut costs what about a cut price deal for REG - Mr Warnock played him at right back midweek against Norwich - he had a decent game - then against Millwall REG played in midfield - versatile player or what?
    REG, I'd want Danny Ward back also and offload donkey Eaves maybe to Blackpool as they like donkeys in Blackpool.

    Totally agree, let's stand on our own two feet.
