The Championship Thread

Yesterday’s meeting of the EFL resulted in clubs requesting the EFL to hurry up and deliver a finding (and punishment) on those clubs viewed to be in breach of FFP. The three under investigation being Brum, Derby and Shef Weds. Brum is technically the lesser breach and may only get three points deduction. Derby and Shef Weds could get 10 which would put Derby in bottom three and Owls just outside. Many feel the EFL have been hoping that all three would clear relegation by enough points to give them a penalty but in the big picture make little difference. That is now looking unlikely and with pressure from clubs mounting a decision needs to be made. Lawyers may yet be involved or discussions behind scenes such as “if you take a 7 point penalty will you go quietly”. Last season announcements were made mid March re penalties. Weds play Derby next.

I also saw that at the same meeting a £20m salary cap was discussed but not approved (yet) pending further discussions several clubs (unspecified) being against it
 
Selling Bowen and Grosicki was a master stroke by Hull. 10 games without a win, playing Leeds this weekend. Only four points clear of relegation zone. Fancy them for the drop as others are picking up points.

We have only failed to score a few occasions, we have kept many clean sheets so swings and roundabouts. We would all like to be free scoring but we'd probably ship as many, I'm happy enough going as we are rarely think going into a game we will lose this is a strange feeling.

We've won by 1 goal on 11 occasions.
 
Anyone who is a betting man, get online and put money on Hull being relegated.

They are 17th, four points from the relegation zone.

They sold Bowen and Grosiki in january.

They then lost Eric Lichaj and Herbie Kane for the season to injury.

Then they lost their £1.5m replacement striker James Scott in his first training session. He is out for the season.

Now they have lost their other main striker, Tom Eaves, for the season after an awful tackle by Preston.

With Bowen (16 goals) and Grosiki (6 goals) gone, Eaves was top scorer with 5. And they don't even have him now.

4 defeats in the last 6 games, no wins.

Put some money on it

Hopefully a Derby points deduction will save them.
