      A fan of St Helens Rugby League Club apparently. Should fit in well at Latics.

        Points deduction apart it just makes the piss poor period from August to January so much more annoying. Even those two dire performances at home to Middlesbrough and Luton could well have seen us safe.

          It is so unfair that our players can now go for peanuts their worth hasn’t dropped why should their price. Surely if a club is in our predicament then the asking price must be met it’s just stupid. We are gonna lose millions on Robinson alone.

          It bloody stinks. They will also go to clubs dripping in Sky’s money. That is loose change to Brighton who you would think had some sense of fairness after their fairly recent history.
          Greedy horrible Premier greed gets. Remember the greed league and the pushing up of all costs in football is one of the main instigators of much of the financial problems in football.

            Blackpool fan here. A few personal observations :
            1. I think you should get yourself organised to fight. The EFL are already enmeshed in possible litigation cases with several clubs, and have other disputes pending with several more. I doubt that they really have the capacity or will to fight hard on the case load they already have. Set yourselves up to be difficult.
            2. Thank God Harvey has gone and been replaced by Parry. You might get more common sense, more empathy, and a hell of a lot less hubris. However, some of Harvey’s apparatchiks remain in the organisation and you will encounter their organisational and cultural inertia before too long.
            3. Do your homework and your own due diligence, if you can. Our experience is that they are an organisation who don’t seem to fully understand their own rules. Nor do they apply them consistently, when they can be persuaded to apply them at all. They don’t respond well to challenge, but they often appear embarrassed by it.
            4. I think time is currently on your side. They will want a quick resolution so that they can get on with preparing for next season with some certainty about which teams are playing where. It may make them more amenable to a compromise solution in the short term than they will be later on. So I would want to get one now, if I were you.
            5. Use your MP well. She is articulate, photogenic, appears to want to be involved and she has some clout. We would have loved to have MPs like that. In fact, Parliament as a whole (Damian Collins in particular) are increasingly waking up to how rotten an edifice English football is. Milk that for all you are worth.
            All personal views and I seek to speak for no-one else. Good luck.

            Many thanks for that. Can you share with us how The Seasiders escaped the 12 point deduction when they were liquidated last season?

              Fantastic but 10 yellows and 2 game ban for Sam the only downer.

              Jamal hasn’t played well in six games all season. Hopefully the tide has turned.

                Not a patch on the previous version but maybe just get used to it.

                  Hopefully if the vote goes the right way tomorrow there wont be anymore games.

                      Most things have been better. Less North Face Knob heads hanging around grotching and leaving shite around. No screeching kids on the streets. Less traffic, less pollution. More peace and quiet, cleaner air, great weather, more nature around.
                      Hope there is a bonus from the state for us who had to still work and pay tax.
                      Some aspects of general public have been great but we have seen some of the most ignorant, greedy selfish behaviour I can ever remember too.
                      Too dangerous because of safe distancing to go to work but not to clog up beaches and beauty spots sitting next to hundreds of people and leaving shite everywhere.

                        It’s summer, seasons done and dusted. Just want to see this forgettable season of mediocre boredom binned off and pray for better next season.Only games between now and a new season should be friendly matches.

                          1 is too many.
                          A restart is ridiculous. Null and void now.

                            This is why it all should be null and voided. Restart and momentum is changed for both in form and out of form clubs.
                            Leeds can wait another year and another 20 or 30 million in debt. Financial fair play doesn’t count for them.

                              There are some clubs in this league that spend way way way above what they have in pursuit of the PL. Luckily, we’re not one of them so whilst we will suffer somewhat I’m confident we’ll still be around.

                              Including Leeds who have operated on huge losses over the last couple of seasons in their pursuit of buying promotion.

                                This is all so wrong. Yes its unfair to null and void the league for clubs who could win promotion or titles but anything other than scrapping this season is just ridiculous. Lets just worry about Covid 19 and getting the country sorted out.
                                Why should we be awarding anything to any club that hasn’t won or earned anything. How can we relegate clubs who could have escaped or punish clubs who had a chance to escape or go up?
                                No consideration at all to form either good or bad.
                                Scrap all leagues, promotion and relegation immediately is the only answer.

                                  Gilly, Worswick, King, Rogers. Noel Ward, Grigg, Boycey, Watson, Scharner on and on it goes.
