Imagine if it was the other way round.3

Yup ... basically a 100k fine just encourages others to cheat ... it’s a drop in the ocean compared to the potential upside if they get away with itShootersHillGuru said:
Thank goodness that Wycombe are standing up to the injustice of this. What’s happened here is farcical and is absolutely no deterrent to other clubs not to break the rules. Why not break them. The punishment is about the same in financial terms as not being able to sign a young squad player. Absolutely shocking.clive said:cfgs said:It is also unfair on Wycombe how do they budget and recruit players for next season without knowing what league they are in.
Give Derby a 40 point deduction this season, if they get relegated without it carry it over to next season.Wycombe owner Rob Couhig has accused Derby of "systematic cheating" and has threatened to sue the Pride Park outfit for millions of pounds if his club are denied a place in the Championship because of the timing of a disciplinary appeal.

The bigger the club the less likely they'll be punished.stonemuse said:

I look forward to Wycombe being fined for challenging the decision.9

Funny that it's only Wycombe and last season it was only Boro.ShootersHillGuru said:

It's almost like the other 70 don't care as long as its not them that miss out. Its almost like they either know they could be caught next or they will need to sell up and can't be too fussy who they sell up to.
This could have all been done and delt with years ago, if the members had the appetite.2 -
Don’t forget Swindle Town. They won the playoffs and then got relegated two divisions immediately. reduced to one after appeal.addick1956 said:I remember so.ething of the sort ,regarding illegal payments to players in the 60's.
Derby were fined 5k but Peterborough who were running away with the 3rd division suffered points deduction which made promotion impossible. Players lost interest and it took years for Peterborough to recover from that.2 -
Luton Town had a 30 pt deduction in 2008/9.1

And Leeds had a 10 and 15 point deduction in 06/07 and 07/08. Southampton and Portsmouth had points deducted.guinnessaddick said:Luton Town had a 30 pt deduction in 2008/9.
The rules for points deduction for entering admin and leaving without a CVA are quite clear and applied almost consistently, and fans moan about that. It's the financial "misdemeanours" that aren't and are the issue here.2 -
It will finally be resolved in November, at which point Darby and Wycombe simply swap places and carry on.0

The EFL should punish them by announcing relegation for last season and a penalty of 20 points for each of the years they cheated. That would then give them a big decision to make. Take it on the chin and get on with it, or go through a painful series of appeals with no certainty of winning, players not wanting to join, and a very crap season with no interest by anyone in their results - and hopefully relegation.
Cheating is the lowest you can get in sport. Cheats need to be made an example of.4 -
Bournemouth as well that same season, seventeen points?guinnessaddick said:Luton Town had a 30 pt deduction in 2008/9.0 -
A complete joke12

Put the statement out just before everyone goes home for the weekend and hope it's all blown over by the time they come back on Monday. Classic EFL.15

No punishment then. EFL are a joke of an organisation.4
-
So they get away with just a fine of about a weeks wages for Rooney?0
-
Basically just saying to teams that they can do whatever they want and get away with it....again. Spineless4
-
I’m fuming, yet not even surprised. This independent panel are worse than EFL!3
-
How will the Wendies feel about this? They were given preferential treatment but won't like Wayne Rooney's Derby getting even better.Chris_from_Sidcup said:So they get away with just a fine of about a weeks wages for Rooney?
What a pointless farce saying the fixtures were interchangeable.
No one is buying it but they still do it. Because the can - unfortunately

EFL - TWATS0

Toothless and incompetent ... and what is even worse, they have now encouraged teams to cheat because the fine is negligible5
-
Typical gutless EFL. Wonder what the approach would be if it was Wycombe flouting the rules4
-
back handlers galore no doubt.
EFL are either totally incompetent or bent.2 -
That's not technically correct. Teams like Derby and Wednesday can do whatever they want. Teams like us, Wycombe and Barnsley couldn't let our pitch go a week without a cut without getting fined and having points deducted.CafcTeckers said:Basically just saying to teams that they can do whatever they want and get away with it....again.

Unlikely to happen, but fans should boycott Derby and their sponsors.1

I'm sure it should say circumvent. But I'm just getting a mental picture of Wayne Rooney's head as a giant penis without a foreskin.Scoham said:
