    Derby, or Coventry, are relegated, have they a case to take to the EFL, regarding the 6 points knocked
    off Wednesday's points deduction.
    Because with the EFL taking 6 points off, it will have sent one of the clubs down to division 1

    Expect nothing more than a stiff rebuke

    Birmingham city got away with it the other season ... just enough points docked to say we have done something... but not enough to put them in any real danger ..when if they wanted to they could have sent them down .. joke

    Correct WanChaiMiller, A Independent Panel took the 6 points, not the EFL.

    I stand corrected.

    Just how “independent” are these people?

    Who chooses them?

    How do you apply for the job?

    Is it advertised anywhere?

    But the EFL suggested/requested for an independent panel to deal with it, so in essence they still sent it for just punishment. Purely just an arse covering exercise for the EFL so, they couldn't be accused of personally handing down whatever judgement was handed out, bunch of cowards the lot of em. As it turned out it was a fix as 6 points were later removed, which again wasn't just.

    You're either fully guilty or not. All evidence in mitigation should have been heard at the time of the hearing but somehow, Weds managed to find new mitigating circumstances after the charge of -12 points was handed down.. As it was, they removed the 6 points when they should have removed them all. I have never heard of a 50/50 sentence in football.

    Take a court sentence. A person is found guilty of said charge and sent down. Appeal is heard and after deliberation the defendant is found NOT guilty therefore all criminal charges are removed and expunged, as the incident never happened. Not in football though.

    I think they find them, sat at the side of a cash machine, with a dog, begging.
