Can i just say seems to be alot of newbies on this site are they all really latics fans
Or bowtners , wurriors, even those barnsley yorkshire cxxxs?
A distinct possibility I’d suggest if we win the appeal. Reinstate Tranmere to L1 and l don’t relegate Stevenage given the circumstances of how they’ve been affected by decisions. Everyone is a winner and a tonic to the reputation of the efl. Sadly I don’t think they care about fairness so probably unlikely.
No not aimed at you whatsoeverNot sure if this is in reference to me, because looking at my statement it appears to state I dont think we should avoid a point deduction, but based on the reason for the point deduction (gaining an advantage) I dont believe we are guilty and therefore shouldn't have the points deducted this season (if at all).

Points deductions were brought in to stop teams effectively running up huge bills to banks, other clubs, vendors, tax man etc to gain an unfair financial advantage and then avoiding payment.
In our instance no advantage has been gain only a huge disadvantage, no payments have been missed to external creditors and the only people set to 'lose' any money are the owners who put us in this mess.
The EFL themselves said points deductions are not mandetory when they punished Blackpool when their owner put the club into recievership.
So it's a bit like charging and punishing someone for murder when they only tried to commit suicide.
Truth is out of all this the only advantage is that shyte yorkshire club not being relegated due to corruption in the gamePoints deductions were brought in to stop teams effectively running up huge bills to banks, other clubs, vendors, tax man etc to gain an unfair financial advantage and then avoiding payment.

Spot on mateCould be the first club in history to never leave the relegation places all season and stay up anyway. What a record to be proud of.
We do have a very interesting set of circumstances:
Going into admin 2 months after the season should have finished.
Going into admin while having more points than Barnsley ended up on.
Going into admin without missing any previous bills.
Going into admin due to a lack of income coming in due to the season being extended/Covid.
I still doubt that we'll win the appeal, which should be based on any advantage we had over teams by not paying bills or having an unfair advantage over a team due to the administration (which is why the rules were put in place).
I’ve no doubt, just didn’t know it was literally limited to one day. If evidence is relevant is should be allowed to be presented as otherwise how can they make an informed decision if they don’t have all the facts and evidence?
Strange that the admins said they had received a 6000 page document to go through from the EFL yet we can't present all our evidence. Bias??
Its all just an absolute shit show really isn't it, and the most annoying thing about it all is that it feels like we're the only ones being covered. Regardless of what happens to us (and I don't say that lightly at all), the fans and teams that make up the rest of the EFL deserve consistency in the rules and fair treatment. All should be treated the same as Bolton when they got additional deadlines Bury didn't, the same as Blackpool who avoided a points deduction because their owners were crooks, and if any team is appealing a decision, either the team most impacted by the possible outcome can attend the hearing, or they cant.I saw someone point out the difference between the Maccelsfield hearing and ours is ours is meant to be final and binding with no option of appeal while theirs can be appealed after the fact by Stevenage. That is likely why Barnsley are coming in to ours while Stevenage not into Maccelsfields.
Seems a very plausable theory for the inconsistency.
