️-15 is a kicker but the £20/30m they are saving could be used to buy players that will bring in a lot more than 15 points. That was Mike Ashley’s thoughts all along.Looks like their take over could go through today.
Full house for their final game tomorrow as they strive to reach the dubious honour of hitting zero points for the season.
But starting next season on -15 points.
Let’s hope this is the start of the comeback for this great club and for whose supporters have surely suffered enough.
Having seen them a few times this season they'll need to spend a heap of money to avoid relegation next season.
Just looked and they are under a transfer ban till Jan 27. Hopefully that can be reduced by 6 months and allow them to sign players. I know theyd need to sign a lot but a few decent signings in that league can easily get you 10/15 points extra. A good solid mid table finish whilst sorting everything out will probably be the dream for most fans.
I'm sure the players at Hillsborough will be affected next season by starting 15 points behind the rest.
... didn't know that.Nope as they can’t be relegated or kicked down the divisions as EPL and EFL are 2 very different bodies. Any punishment will be points deduction (so relegated that season only) or a financial punishment.They on flippin -15 next season aswell?
Man City gonna be playing Sunday league soon then, you'd think.
Got to just hope that the guarantee of wages helps them plus a year’s experience. EFL go to be looking at a reduction on the transfer embargo even if it’s just only free transfers. Could be a great club to loan players too, get them used to playing in front of very big crowds.
Hopefully Wednesday don't resort to needing owner funding to survive and cut their cloth accordingly.
Sure there are only about 5 teams in England that are not owner funded though, that goes from Arsenal to Exeter. Teams rarely make profit especially if you remove player sales, every club is 1 bad owner away from admin and most in League 1 and 2 will be about 2 weeks away from disaster.
It doesn’t seem right. You’d think if they are getting new owners there should be an element of giving them a chance to wipe the slate clean and start over.
Totally agree. It's going to have a huge impact upon the careers of the players that are currently there, and they haven't done anything wrong.
That could've been argued regarding Rangers in Scotland.
Th supporters have suffered enough too. Back to league 1, even if the points deduction has to stand they should be allowed to start buying players again. Hopefully mount a promotion challenge in 27/28.
It’s the issue with having to have a rule book. In a perfect world we’d just have guidelines and each situation could be dealt with on a case by case basis.
