    Indeed Exile , if Mr Conway was so determined to clean the EFL up as he suggested initially then he'd have made it known he was supporting Charlton Athletic who also were looking to take legal action against the EFL because they were directly affected by Sheffield Wednesday not having the points deducted last season and would have survived had that been applied , which it should have .

    Charlton Athletic are in a perilously position right now with ownership issues and it would appear don't have the financial means or direction right now to undertake legal proceedings .

    Perhaps Mr Conway could have supplied them with a legal team and funding and made an arrangement to receive it back when Charlton were in a position to do so .

    If you felt so strongly about something within the industry you worked in then its something you'd do .

    Well unless you were a not only a fake but also had the morals of an hyena .

    Without adding on any extras about mis trust or whatever Conway,Gibson the guy at Bristol City and others wanted the EFL to act now and not in the preseason and thats exactly what the EFL have done.Wigan didn't have a leg to stand on administraion equals 12 points,Wednesday were found guilty and points deducted next season personally I feel they should have been deducted this season,and Derby have been proven innocent.So as far as I can see the board rooms up and down the country got what they asked for the EFL to act now and not later.

    Do you honestly think Conway should be fighting battles for every indevidual club? can you imagine the abuse he'd get from those with an agenda against him "riding into town with his stetson on etc" He did what he and others said and that was to make sure justice was dished out at the right time.The constant attack in my eyes is getting a bit boring now.He we sign a player theres an ulterior motive ,if a player signs a new contract theres an ulterior motive.

    I thought you, of all people, would respect a person's right to post about things that interest them.

    If the owner of our football club is potentially going back on his word to challenge the governance of football in this country in general, not the narrow issues this season, then that is a matter of interest and concern.

    You come across as satisfied at the eventual outcomes Bill , I suspect our own survival has probably influenced that which is fair enough .

    How would you have felt had we gone down but wouldn't have done if the 12 point deduction for Wednesday had been applied ? .

    I suspect it wouldn't have been met with a casual shrug of the shoulder .

    The EFL is still corrupt Bill and next season it may be us to fall foul of its mismanagement .

    There was an opportunity this summer to clean the EFL up and one of it's strongest critics Mr Conway has chosen to walk away based on our own championship survival .

    What goes around comes around Bill .

    I'm not happy that Wednesday are punished next year although that benefits BFC.If Derby are shown to be innocent what do you want Conway to do?I'm sure if 10 or more clubs were of the same mind pressure could be kept on the EFL to get its house in order the trouble is there probably isn't 10 teams who play to the rules.

    He wouldn't be fighting battles for individual clubs though would he .

    He'd be fighting for the EFL to apply its own rules to the benefit of ALL CLUBS .

    An entirely different stance altogether from the one you are adhering to .

    It's called collectivism Bill , it was quite effective once over in promoting fairness and a more level playing field in life .

    As I say , the loaded gun is still at large within the Championship .

    Let's hope it doesn't get pointed at our head this coming season and blow us back to league one .

    It will be a futile exercise from Mr Conway once again pretending to claim the moral high ground if the bullet is lodged between his ears with this Tyke .

    I can assure you .

    I never mentioned Derby County Bill , if you look at that particular case it's an entirely different matter to that of Sheffield Wednesday in the way the procedure over ground sale was handled , as flawed as that may sound .

    Derby County actually had it signed off by the EFL and was accounted for within the rules .

    Wednesday's wasn't .

    The EFL did bring a case against Derby Anmal or there wouldn't have been anything to contest, They considered Derby had overvalued their ground even though it was accounted for in the proper season's accounts.
