Pretty funny all this coming out when the FA slaps a ban on Eckert managing next season.

This will definitely happen 😂😂

They need to pack in this "disproportionate punishment" rhetoric.

 

They had the result of one game overturned and will start next season on -4 points. That is it. They're only crying because they decided to cheat to gain an advantage to get  place in the biggest game of the Championship season. It's their fault.

 

Frankly I think their punishment is lenient. They should have a bigger points deduction for next season. 4 points for every game they cheated on which would be a -12. Not enough to condemn them to relegation but it would make automatic promotion almost impossible.

 

The worst thing is that they would still have had to beat Hull whom they all seem to think would have been a certainty (maybe it would if they had access to Hull's training plans too).

If you think about it all that has happened is the league has decided that they effectively lost the match they cheated over. The fact that happened to be a play off semi final is irrelevant. Being given a 3-0 defeat for cheating in a match would seem fair.
