South Yorkshire?It's also much welcome news in South Yorkshire.
Got itSouth Yorkshire - Barnsley.
The 12 point deduction will be imposed once all fixtures have been played and the final table is known. So what they need to do is to finish 13 points clear of the 3rd bottom team ( 12 dependent upon goal difference) . They would then start next season on minus 12 in the Championship
However should they finish less than 12 points clear of the bottom 3 the deduction is applied to this season thereby relegating them.
EDIT......and in the unlikely event that they finish bottom 3 based on their current points ,being overtaken by clubs below them and finishing in a relegation spot ( and they would pretty much have to lose every game from now to the end for that to happen).....they would start next season with -12 in League 1.
Not just Barnsley, Sheffield Wednesday have not paid players in full this month and are already being investigated by the EFL over the dodgy sale of the ground, 150 pages of chat on that on Owlstalk if you can't sleep.South Yorkshire - Barnsley.
I realise there will be genuine casualties of Covid i.e. clubs going into admin. lest we forget our experience with ITV digital. What I don't want to see is for the floodgates to open and some clubs using it as a convenience to gain a financial advantage if clubs are going to be unpunished.
I think interest like that should be scrapped full stop.
Any loans should either be interest free or fall in line with the Bank of England interest rates, otherwise it's an easy way of making money.
It staggered me the other day when I saw that the interest on student loans is 5.4%. Whatever our views on the student loans/funding system. that seems an immorally high rate
My ISA currently pays 0.01%.
