Without checking I'm sure Man Utd played Liverpool on NYD with Liverpool winning 3-1, we drew away to Norwich 0-0 on NYE, which I went to
I have that Boro v Man Utd game on video 👍

So the day after Robbo played against probably McMahon, Whelan and Molby he had to play us with a days more rest? That probably explains it, there will have been a fair few kicks back and forth in that game.

And then Glover and Hammy will have let him have a nice welcome 😁

On 14 November, Sheffield Wednesday were charged with misconduct by the EFL over the £60m sale of their Hillsborough stadium to owner Dejphon Chansiri. Without the sale, Wednesday would have made a pre-tax loss of £35.4m for the 2017-18 financial year.

The charges relate to "how & when" it was sold & its inclusion in the 2018 accounts when it was sold a year later. Wednesday denied they had done anything wrong & vowed to defend themselves vigorously

January, Derby County were also charged with breaching spending rules. This also related to the sale of their stadium, Pride Park, to their owner, Mel Morris. As with Wednesday, Derby denied wrongdoing and said they were in contact with the EFL throughout the process.

It is understood the Rams' hearing began on 13 July. They are 13 or 15 points above the relegation zone depending upon whether Wigan's sanction is applied. They have a better goal difference than Luton but a worse one than Wigan.
As the EFL explained in its statement, the disciplinary cases around Sheffield Wednesday and Derby are being dealt with by an independent panel. Insiders accept the unsatisfactory nature of the situation but it is being stressed the cases must be heard "expeditiously and fairly".

Basically how long does it take, knowing the season could be finished, which looks to be the case then the ruling is applied, fro a professional organisation the EFL are as guilty as the clubs they are dealing with
How can we go in to the final week of July, 1st week of August with this to still be sorted & then clubs lawyers adding to it, absoutly crazy
 
expeditiously

adverb

  1. with speed and efficiency.
    "the directors will move expeditiously to reach a conclusion"
14 November 2019 – 22 July 2020 = 251 days

Wasn’t that the game where Robbo cut Hammy in half with an awful challenge that basically finished Hammy.?

Yep, there was a lake outside the away area.
Laid in the back of a transit van, hung over and soaking wet all the way back. Absolutely grim.:)

I remember at half time a soaked bloke in front of me shouting to a mate up in the crowd behind, ‘John!..John!...Happy New Year!...isn’t it smashing?’
I think we were 3 down by half time but the memory fades.
It took me a couple of days to thaw and dry out after that little trip away with the Boro..

I was also at that Norwich away game with my cousin on NYE 88. It seemed a good idea at the time...

Ok. Sounded like it is a bit more clear than the one 2 days ago. I mustve just read it differently

Sorry, I jumped the gun there, I thought TalkSPORT were referring to the Monday statement, not a new repeated statement.
My mistake.

Functionally changes none of the facts though, we'll still be waiting on the verdict of the appeal.
 
The administrator has come out today and said the appeal will be heard on 31st July. Theres a bit on Bbc football. The last sentence is what the appeal is about.

No bother ben
Yea i know the appeal is going on after but at least its clear the points wont be moved to next season.
 
It says on the BBC football site about Wigan
'' We are not out of the woods yet," said Krasner, adding that he was "optimistic" the club would pay outstanding creditors enough to avoid a 15-point deduction next season''
I'm looking at it as though it could happen next season

That's a separate deduction that could be applied.
The 12 point deduction is happening tonight.
 
Give them a points deduction now and if they are relegated give them a 12 point head start next season if the appeal is successful.
