    The efl would look like idiots if they overturned if for a club who have been living beyond there means for years.

    But it won’t be up to the EFL. It’s an independent body that decides. So it’s a case of whether the loopholes are there for the Wigan QC to exploit. My fear is there will be.

    What will be will be, if there defence is covid no other club has gone into administration plus they will look in to the fees they have paid for players the wages they are getting and the gates wigan get, kieffer moore, Jamal Lowe, joe Williams etc paul cook didnt seem confident.

    So they're appealing because there was no way the club could have predicted what nonsense their crazy owners would pull?

    I've got a lot of sympathy for that, but I'm not sure it'll stand up. Administration is always a 12 point deduction. You can fight about everything else, but them's the rules.

    No. The EFL would have another massive lawsuit on its hands.

    But the new season kicks off in 7 weeks they can’t leave it another 3 or 4 to decide how can any of the affected clubs plan for the season if they have no idea which league they will be in

    I've been looking at the Fowls situation as well. It appears that when you take their bogus ground sale out of the equation, their 3 year overspend is £18 million.

    This is how Birmingham's 9 point deduction was arrived at last year.

    The punishment has a 12 point starting point. If the overspend is less than £2 million, the punishment is reduced by 9 points. If the overspend is £15 million or more, the punishment isn't reduced at all. Birmingham's overspend was £10 million, so the punishment was reduced by 5 points. The punishment was reduced by a further 1 point as they admitted the breach, but 3 points were then added as the commission weren't convinced of the steps they had taken to avoid repetition.

    I would say from reading this, that the Fowls are facing a 12 points penalty minimum and the probability of some extra for their evasiveness.
