Championship bottom side Wigan have been docked three points by the EFL for failing to pay player salaries in March, having previously been given a suspended penalty for a similar breach. The Latics were charged and sanctioned for failing to meet terms of contracts in June, July and October 2022. Now the suspended sanction has been triggered.
Noticed that the betting on Reading being relegated has been suspended. Sorry but I can't find where I read it. Edit......found it,Taff posted it on the Bristol match thread.
Cardiff should be docked 20 points for complaining about the rain falling in Rotherham last weekend. What a shower.
Deal done - no Administration “Championship strugglers taken over by North American group Huddersfield have been taken over by a North American group after chairman Dean Hoyle acquired 100% of the club's shares and subsequently sold them. Hoyle initially took over in 2009 before selling the club to Phil Hodgkinson, after 11 years at the club. He returned in 2021 to provide funding due to Hodgkinson's financial difficulties but stepped down as chief executive for health reasons in 2022. "We would like to thank fans for their patience and support," the club said. In a statement, Huddersfield added that the unnamed group's takeover was subject to "legislative and governance procedures", and that more information would be provided after completion. The takeover comes towards the conclusion of a campaign which has seen the club struggle in the Championship despite reaching last season's play-off final. Neil Warnock's side are 22nd in the table and three points from safety, while they were also placed under a transfer embargo earlier in March for submitting their annual accounts late. The Daily Mail has reported that Hoyle will write off £40m as part of the deal in order to keep the Terriers out of administration, which would have led to the club receiving a 12-point deduction and almost certainly consigned them to relegation. The club have not played in English football's third tier since their promotion from League One through the play-offs in 2011-12.”
