Vital 1st Team Regular
The basic unfairness is announcing a possible penalty, then not deciding what it is until such a late stage of the season.
Doesn't excuse poor performances, but it can't help the players to have an uncertain fate hanging over them. To delay the announcement one game more - a vital game against Luton - adds insult to injury. Any points deduction handed out so late in the season should be suspended till the following season (which also gives the club a fair chance to appeal without that adding further uncertainty for the remaining games).
