Macclesfield

[DonnyImp]

Docked 6 points for not paying wages and not playing Crewe!. Will Notlob (ex prem tossers) be worried?

Wow .......just wow the EFL are a complete shambles
Utter disgrace on terms equality to teams and fans in these 2 instances

I thought they had a suspended points deduction?
The EFL are not covering themselves in glory are they.

Were Macc dealt with by an independent panel?

Hopefully Macc will appeal on the basis that they haven't been dealt with in the same way as Bolton resulting in Wanderers getting their deserved punishment for refusing to play twice

Well maybe Macclesfield now need to refuse to play a second time, then they'll get plenty of bonus treatment like the scum from Bolton got.

The full story is that Macclesfield have had 6 points deducted with a further 4 points deduction suspended. This is following an Independent Disciplinary Committee hearing.

Yet Bolton can cancel games, not pay wages and it is all okay. The football league is a farce.

The EFL’s lawyer is a Bolton fan. I shit you not.

 

[NottyImp]

Exactly as predicted.

Tbh, I think the EFL have made this decision with half an eye on the appeal of the independent ruling of the Bolton one.

This is effectively backing up what they think Bolton should get.

Well hopefully.
Still doesn't explain why Macclesfield do receive the entirely correct punishment and are dealt with in 10 days or so, whereas Bolton's worse offences are ignored totally for many months and then they receive an effective zero punishment from the same EFL. It all makes no sense whatsoever

Bolton are a big club, Macclesfield aren't. From the perspective of those that run the game, it makes perfect sense.

Well precisely.

The once great game of football is in a right two and eight . One word ......money imo. Some have to much , some not enough . More a business not a sport.

Maybe this is why Bolton seem to have received preferential treatment from the FA

Well well. I think that adds more than quite a bit to the explanations of what's been going on. Hmmmmm.

If that is the case it's a quite clear conflict of interest. Any direct involvement in these cases - they are all related, they all impact on Notlob - or any indirect lobbying is a clear breach of his professional code of conduct, which the SRA should be acting upon with a likelihood of him being struck off.

Mentioning Bolton, I see they have sorted things out with FGR regarding Doidge. Also, that Doidge won some sort of player of the month award in the SPL.

 

[Red Wimp]

They’ve called off Saturday’s game after being served a zero capacity notice.
