    Well they are relegated that is bad for us as they will surely walk div 1 next season, also Sheff w could join them they might lose 9 points, Birmingham in trouble i hear also, so why do the F A take so long to act is a joke, will wigan win their appeal ? if so Barnsley who had a fantastic result yesterday would go down instead, this is like a worse case of VAR, but Charlton will be playing us again and Hull which is a shock, and Mcgeady plays for Charlton so what next for him ?

    They aren't actually relegated yet, the appeal has not been heard yet as ludicrous as the situation is.....they still cant plan for next season as they still dont know what division they are going to be in even though administration was called nearly a month ago

    Interesting time for bystanders but not for the clubs and supporters. Not only for those who are directly involved. There is now a terrible hiatus of uncertainty that impacts the transfer markets.

    Even 10th placed Derby County who are on 67 points could be relegated - I read that the issues about the sale of a club's ground and breach of financial regulations could incur up to a 27 point deduction (if exacerbated by the club deliberately attempting to mislead the league or its independent inquiry).

    What with Sheffield Weds in it as well then we could end up with all three clubs who were bottom placed at the end of the season then going on to be saved from relegation by clubs who have incurred points deductions for disciplinary breaches.

    The quiz masters must be salivating over this!

    I'm worried they will spend the money needed to Expand their stadium and get another 40,000-50,000 fans through the doors.

    We will be really ****ed then.

    I doubt we were going to get promoted anyhow next season ( if it ever gets going!).. so with some good sides coming from the championship, as you say the chances of our promotion are even less!

    Hull City were relegated from the Premier league the same season as us. Honeyman played a prominant role for both sides in subsequent Championship campaigns. And both of those campaigns resulted in last place finishes. That can't be a coincidence.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we had announcements like this.
