Just a word of advice learned from bitter experience. If you do try it, make sure it's not attached to the ostrich
Wigan as mentioned elsewhere docked 3 points. Reading should find out if they’ll be docked 6 points this week. https://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ince-reading-efl-points-deduction-26508371 Should Huddersfield go into admin they’ll be docked 12 points https://fanbanter.co.uk/huddersfiel...oints-deduction-as-prospective-owner-emerges/
It’s decision day at the EFL. Will Reading and Huddersfield be deducted points? And will they apply this season? Will Rotherham be punished for not having any groundsmen? Or will the EFL bottle it and make us play another away midweek game in our already congested fixture list for April? Apparently we should know by 5pm.
It's a sad indictment of where we are as a club that we're looking for others to get points deductions to save our own skins.
I was thinking the same. If we stay up I do hope there’s a plan in place to kick on next year, both tactically and financially.
True, but for once, our house appears to be in order (Sala case excepted). I feel sorry for Wigan and t'Udders fans but not so Reading and Ince even less.
TBF, this could all be academic anyhow, as our recent form has firmly put our destiny back in our own hands, so we may not even "need" others to suffer misfortune in order to make our position secure. Hopefully any re-arranged game again v the Water Babies will again go the same way as it was when it got abandoned (obviously no guarantees sadly). Had that game been completed and we'd picked up the 3 points, we'd have been 6 points clear of the drop zone... Our recent form over the last 6 games puts us in 11th place and looks far better than the majority of the teams around us (in fact I think the New York pond dwellers are the closest to us in the form table in 14th, 3 points worse off than us), so personally I'm pretty confident we have turned the corner and are more than capable of saving our own skins rather than relying on schadenfreude.
We should never have got ourselves into this position in the first place and have to employ Lamouchi/Bamba in a belated attempt to get us out of it. Notwithstanding being controlled by an owner living 6000 miles away, the lack of clarity and leadership by an absent chairman who might just as well be 6000 miles away and a part time CEO who spends the majority of his time in Rolls Royce dealership in London is hardly ideal. If Lamouchi/Bamba get us out of this, those 3 will be seen as having pulled off a masterstroke in appointing them, wheras in reality history shows they've just been stumbling from one crisis to another and have just got lucky this time. Staying up through our own efforts would be satisfying and certainly possible, but if we stay up as a result of defaults by other clubs then I'll take that any day - just saying it's a shame we might have to rely on it.
