Next Season's Opponents

Think hull can be removed from the list.

It's not over till the fat lady sings -12 for SW and Reading could save them.

Can add

Stoke City
Derby County
Preston North End
Huddersfield (just about)
Millwall

Wigan can also get -10 and they are unlikely to get a point vs Fulham.
Not over for Hull but they've got to rely on others and the EFL growing a pair which I know seems highly unlikely

Minus 12
They have appealed on the basis that the pandemic is responsible for their plight
Other clubs are expected to breach ffp rules but will try and get round it , pleading that expected player sales in June would have changed their finances.
If I remember correctly our first administration was mainly due to the unforeseen collapse of ITV digital and the loss of "guaranteed income". No leniency for us.
Meanwhile no news of any penalties for our neighbours - whose chairman sold the stadium to himself, for many times what it's worth, claiming that it was sold the year before it actually was and not actually receiving any money for it, despite claiming that the funds(not received) from the sale reduced their deficit. They are obviously innocent.
FFP is a bad joke

Minus 12 it is, thanks Wrinks
So with the inertia at EFL HQ we might not know who,s been relegated for while yet

So do people want SWFC to obtain enough points to avoid a deduction this season so it will assist us next season

Or

Do we want them relegated this season.



I',d like to gloat now and seize the moment. Live for today

From what I'd read, all deductions will be taken this season unless a team is relegated without the deduction (not possible in the case of Wigan, Reading or SW) in which case it would have been taken next season. So they'll either get a deduction and go down or stay up and start next season on 0.

[flourbasher]

I thought it was that if they had enough points to avoid the drop even with a deduction then the deduction would apply next season.
In other words they will be punished either this season or next.

I may be wrong and to be honest if the EFL are managing the situation then anything could happen. Maybe SWFC will be awarded promotion instead

Local match’s a bit thin on the ground, potentially only Huddersfield

[flourbasher]

Hudds have just sacked Danny Cowley.
Strange as I thought his remit would have been to keep them up after a dreadful start which he did

It's going crazy out there. The Cowley brothers will be in big demand......Watford?
