Jings, when we warned about the risk of a ‘second wave’ I didn’t realise it would be Satanage returning.

League One squad values currently going the rounds of a few local newspapers:

But what do they know about it?

Couldn't have made those numbers up more if they tried.

I can see what you mean. This club statement on 7 August made it 'clear' that Bury FC owned Gigg Lane and it wasn't for sale or being repossessed: https://www.buryfc.co.uk/news/latest...t-august-2020/

Three days later, in this semi-literate, incoherent statement, the chairman admitted that the club owed £3.7M on the ground and £2.8M on the car park: https://www.buryfc.co.uk/news/latest...-the-chairman/

News today that if Macc were to go to the court of sports arbitration [ the same one Man City recently appealed to ] and were successfull Stevenage would be relegated by 0.1 of a point under PPG.

Trouble is it takes 18 months to 2 years to get a decision and you would expect they would ask that the decision against them be suspended until the final decision [ as City did ] meaning either League two would have to be suspended for two years or they would have to let them continue to play in it until a final determination was made.

Which maybe explains the remarks of a certain League two CEO who for weeks when talking about the uncertainty keeps refering to not knowing how many clubs there might be.

Sounds to me like hes been having the crack with his mate the League Two Rep.

Cant you just see the ****stom that would kick off if SWFC were relegated a division let alone licked out of the league by it. Yet for Macclesfield it hardly warrents a mention.

And why dont we get to know who was on the pannel and how much they were paid to be and how many of them were the real people who matter in this the real fans.

I ask again. Look at the offence(s) committed by the respective clubs.
Now give me one good reason for the basis to compare the two cases.

The appeal,s procedures which would were money is involved will favour richer clubs the decision,s on both Macclesfield and Charlton being relegated because they choose to defer Wednesday,s punishment could kill both clubs off they as clubs haven't been run very well I admit but to save Stevenage when they were down by a country mile stinks football is awash with dodgy owners, agents, lawyers all picking there bits from the carcass.

there needs to be a cut off somewhere with all these appeals. clubs need to know a FINAL decision to prepare for a new season. actually not bothered who goes down between stevenage or macclesfield but a final decision needs arriving at.

andyd · 13-08-2020, 08:22

Charlton on the verge of oblivion sign a player for a reputed £200,000 who sanctions that?

andyd · 13-08-2020, 09:37

I hope as Charlton seem to be able to find money to sign a player that they are paying their bills because whispers circulating are saying they aren't.

The band on City was not suspended, it was for 2020/21 and 2021/22. City were found not guilty of the main charge.

The case took 4 months to be heard.

Macc have already entered into binding arbitration according to the EFL, which is what Cas is.

It was Maccs 4th offense this season, and they already had a previous deduction reduced, and they were clearly guilty as charged. They can't argue that the points reduction is harsh for a 4th offence.

18 days left for a buyer to complete deal for Wigan if deal not done by the 31st of August administration team says Wigan will not compete this season.

Precisely ..... so how anyone can compare this to the SWFC case is delusional.
