Potential EFL punishments

[Lcfcokay]

Anyone have a scooby what sort of punishments we might receive if (when) we get relegated?

None

None

That’s what I like to hear

Unless there was a confirmation otherwise I'm pretty sure we're already under a transfer embargo in that league.

[Guest Basildon Fox]

Just a lot of idle threats and posturing from the EFL to make it look like they have control and appease the rest of the football league.

 

I doubt there is anything they can do.

No, we're not.

That ended once we were promoted

And will probably be reinstated once we are relegated?

Unlikely

People have to watch for the full 90 minutes if we get relegated

Fair enough, was there confirmation? I looked a few weeks back and couldn't find anything.

There’s a fair few clued up people have stated the EFL will have nothing to hit us with. They tried with Sheffield United and failed. I think for them that ship has sailed……. I think.

I can’t imagine they would be able to as it was put on us based on their projections that we would fail PSR for 23/24 which we didn’t

On what grounds?!

[Number 6]

No grounds for an embargo of any sort. Shaky ground for some sort of retrospective points deduction if they fancied trying it.

Think sheff utd got a -2 points at start of this season. But I’d take that😂😂

No confirmation but it would’ve ended once we were no longer under their jurisdiction, and also it was based on their projections we would fail PSR for 23/24 which we didn’t

 

We are also no longer listed on this website

They were punished for defaulting on payments to other clubs, which (as far as I'm aware) we haven't even been accused of.

If we don't get hit with any sort of punishment then we'll just win the Championship again. It's automatic when it comes to us and the second tier. Don't do half measures.

Gonna be a tough season next season. Ipswich (probably)  with a much better squad than last season, Southampton don’t seem to have PSR issues and then whoever doesn’t go up this season. Makes it a stacked championship again

We're not down yet.😄

I found this interesting, it's a list of the biggest points deductions in EFL history:

• Leeds United | 15 points | 2007-08.
• Bournemouth | 17 points | 2008-09.
• Rotherham United | 17 points | 2008-09.
• Derby County | 21 points | 2021-22.
• Luton Town | 30 points | 2008-09.

 

 

Sounds alarming, but all of these are due to not exiting administration correctly. Luton got fined 20 for that and 10 for dodgy Agent Payments. If you put all that together, I would imagine that most we would get deducted is 10 points. The bigger issue would be a transfer embargo or worse, put on a plan where the EFL appoint an external auditor to handle club finances, whihch would result in player sales at knockdown prices. That would gut the team and probably leave us without any chance.

 

 

 

This season Sheffield United got deducted 2 points for not paying other clubs. So it might not be that bad next season, but to me it feels like it might be more of promotion through the playoffs, if we are even that good. A bigger worry is that most of the talent leaves and it's just the over paid mercenaries that remain, and motivation is in the bin.

Most second division titles in history. Chin up mush.
