Sheffield is a lot further north than CharltonNorthern gets the boot, southern club survives, it's a common theme.
Bit of a shame as Macclesfield as followed us and down the divisions more or less for the 20 odd years.
Hope this isn't the end for them and they end up like Bury.
Done before the fixtures come out I notice.
Why?Something stinks.
Something stinks.
I suspect that integrity has only rarely raised its head above the parapet of competitive football.There appears to be little or no integrity left in football.
The EFL used a flawed PPG calculation, which, because of Macc's deductions, ended up punishing them by more points than they should have done.in what way?

Even with the new deductions, I think they'd have survived.
Why?
I really couldn't care less who has been relegated, I am bothered by the apparent inconsistency of points being deducted and when the deductions come into play. About time the EFL had it written into the rules. Into administration -20, failure to pay income tax -20 points, failure to pay another club for a player sale or cup gate receipts -9 points, failure to fulfil a fixture -6 points and if the fixture was at home the rearranged fixture to be away, failure to pay playing staff -6 points, failure to pay non-playing staff -3 points. All deductions to be applied instantly in the current season. Selling your ground to the owner to cheat FFP relegation at end of current season. Draconian? yes. Time something was in place? yes. There appears to be little or no integrity left in football.
No consistency at all, Sheff wed should have had points taken now as well, this could open up a can of worms
Saying that, I think the 4 points (initially suspended) would have relegated them by c0.5 points if the PPG was calculated correctly anyway.The EFL used a flawed PPG calculation, which, because of Macc's deductions, ended up punishing them by more points than they should have done.
Even with the new deductions, I think they'd have survived.
And unfortunately Macclesfield wont have the finance to fight it and the efl know that
