Not sure I would believe this guy (x poster). We shall see
Agreed. I obviously can’t vouch for anything other than the Ed text. As far as I know that isnt common knowledge so other people coming up with the same punishment is interesting. That level of punishment is also where my head is at listening to all the arguments. It’s pretty severe but (assuming our guilt) would definitely be acceptable assuming we get to play on Saturday!
 
Seen this in a few places now.

Surely we contest a 6-point deduction. Is it really in the same league as Leicesters transgressions?

Also EFL, presuming this is accurate, cannot be happy the entirety of this clusterfuck has been leaked minute by minute.
Surely not now. Get the playoff done and worry about that later
 
I think the 4.5m and -6 points was floating around since Friday on the Boro boards. There was a voice note posted on Twitter. Almost certainly from someone who had no clue. And I think this has just been rehashed

If this is true I expect we’d appear for a reduction and the very least the points to be a suspended one. Because this being equal to what Leicester did and more than 20x the Leeds fine sounds OTT

Unless the theory would be hoping that the size of the fine would stop Gibson pursuing it further - it won’t. Gibson will come after us if there is any punishment that is not them getting a bye to the final
 
Assuming it's true, is it -6 if we stay (or next time we're down in) in the Championship? Or is it -6 in whatever league we end up in next season?
 
6 point deduction? I can’t see it. Chelsea got a fine for a lot worse recently.

If we start the premier league with a 6 point deduction we are as good as down
