iansheff Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Copied the statement below from the link on the club website. https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2019/december/club-statement2/?fbclid=IwAR3LOxObInoIVohs0CWRmbZt7eubM_FLdLm9WDzfdTSQU7Nswo1YZ59JrT0 The Club has issued its claim against the EFL for acting unlawfully in relation to its alleged disciplinary charges. We have sought to engage with the EFL in order to agree a sensible procedure to resolve the dispute arising from the fact that the Club relied upon representations from the EFL in relation to the sale transaction which is the subject of the charges. The Club regrets that the EFL has so far refused to agree to the Club being permitted to make its claim, and refused to agree to a sensible procedure for dealing with the dispute. The Club will continue to take such steps as it considers necessary to protect and enforce its rights against the EFL and to protect it from unlawful action by the EFL affecting the Club and the performance of its team. The Club will not make any further comment at this stage. Edited December 19, 2019 by iansheff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly QPR had an EFL penalty applied after they were promoted to the Premier League and they had the penalty held until they were relegated at which time it was enforced. Could well be the case for Wednesday but if it is a points deduction that takes them out of the promotion places it could get very interesting.

redbig Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Doesn't seem to be affecting the team performance but it'd be just like Wednesday to get promoted then have it taken away by a points deduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansheff Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 It needs sorting out ASAP the EFL need to get their finger out and start communicating with the club. Football is becoming a joke, Liverpool were made to play in the cup Tuesday when the first team were out in Qatar, they had to play the youngsters. That isn't fair on fans paying good money to see a reserve team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iansheff Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The EFL have hit Macclesfield Town with a six-point deduction after pleading guilty to ‘numerous EFL charges’, including a failure to pay salaries on time. Wonder how long it has taken for them to make that decision and how long before we hear what is happening at Hillsborough. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50861229 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
