No grey area about it. EFL rule 12.3.1 If any Club becomes subject to or suffers an Insolvency Event, that Club shall be deducted 12 points.Think it's up to 12. Grey area.
Wigan losing points is wrong, IMHO
Derby & Sheff Weds is another matter, they knew what the rules were & thinking we'll be fine, we're only cheating a tiny bit was again, totally wrong
And if the EFL decide to penalise the clubs next year because of the pandemic is way out of order, clubs who lived by the rules fought to stay in the league & some failed coukd be down in that league for a number of years, teams who didn't can live to fight another day
That’s a good angle on their specific case . Hope I’m wrong but there’s going to be quite a few to followI think clubs going into Administration should be closely assessed as to why. If the pandemic has pushed them over the edge then leniency should be applied. I am sure common sense and fairness will be applied on this one. We need to understand the reasons. Terrible for their fans
Whelan on talksport now flabbergasted ( appears he had no idea ) and stating he WILL helpI have always liked Wigan and enjoyed my days out there. I wonder if Whelan, at the age of 83, would fancy buying them back.
Sheff Wed players are also owed some of their wages. This could be a crazy summer for football.

I hope he does and saves them, the club is in his blood and he will know a lot of the people behind the scenes personally.Whelan on talksport now flabbergasted ( appears he had no idea ) and stating he WILL help
Spot on there Os!I'm afraid the seesaw will tip shortly, with lots of teams hitting the ground with a bump, lots of inner city grounds to be swept away by property developers as the economy heads south and land is cheap. Sad to see another northern team in trouble
all with clean sheets, i feel for wigan fansVery unsporting way to get a leg up for Boro but I’d take it . Think we’ll be ok with our boss but blimey they’ve won four and drew one of last five games .
