Peretz will return to Bayern when his loan finishes as the purchase clause is dependent on promotion.

The result is the same. As for precedent, Leeds didn't breach rule 127 - we are the precedent for that.

Played 2 lost 2 this season.

It also fails to account for the possibility of us losing the final, in which case the financial hit is £0.

What do Oxford get out of this ?

Yet another black mark on the hierarchy - we spied on three teams yet played abysmally against them.

Hollywood twist ? Wrexham striker Josh Windass wants the playoffs rerun with them taking our place.

Fucked if I know.

Boro stsrt selling tickets at 1:00 pm, so no chance the EFL will reinstate us.

1) Being excluded frm a match we could have lost is not "one of the harshest penalties ever"....... Major Match-Fixing & Corruption Juventus (2006): Following the Calciopoli match-fixing scandal, Juventus were stripped of two Serie A titles, relegated to Serie B, and initially hit with a massive 30-point deduction (later reduced to 9 points). AC Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina (2006): Also implicated in Calciopoli, these clubs avoided relegation but began the following Serie A season with severe point deductions (e.g., Milan with -8 points, Fiorentina with -15). Marseille (1993): Stripped of their 1992-93 French league title and relegated to Ligue 2 after their president was involved in a domestic match-fixing and bribery scandal. [1, 2, 3] Financial Implosions & Administration Rangers (2012): Due to mounting debts and financial mismanagement, the Scottish giants entered liquidation. Their corporate entity was forced to restart in the Scottish Fourth Tier (Third Division), forcing a long climb back to the top flight. Luton Town (2008): Handed an unprecedented 30-point deduction in English League Two due to financial irregularities and entering administration, making an immediate relegation inevitable. Derby County (2021): Docked a combined 21 points in the Championship (12 for entering administration, 9 for financial breaches) under manager Wayne Rooney, which ultimately sealed their relegation. Lyon (2025): Officially relegated from Ligue 1 down to Ligue 2 by France's football financial watchdog (DNCG) due to massive, unsustainable club debts. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Financial Fair Play (FFP) and PSR Breaches Paris Saint-Germain (2022): Handed a massive €65 million fine by UEFA for failing to meet break-even financial requirements. Chelsea (2025): Fined €31 million by UEFA for breaches of squad cost rules and accounting violations during the Roman Abramovich era. The club previously received a record-setting £10.75m fine and a transfer ban from the Premier League in 2026 for secret agent payments. Everton (2023): Deducted 10 points initially for a breach of the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR)—the largest points penalty in Premier League history. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] 2 ) I can cope with this situation....... however if Bazunu is our #1 keeper next season, I'm through with this club.

Looking forward to reading the "Championship -4" blog.

From a Millwall fans forum ; "However, looking at it from our point of view, it means that if we had finished with 3 points less, we would now be in the final. So in effect the punishment is also rewarding mediocrity over success." "In all seriousness mate, the more you consider the situation, the more you realise that actually us playing Boro for the last final spot is the only fair thing to do. My reasoning is as follows: Both us and Boro LOST in the semis. Therefore it cannot be that Boro have shown any betterment of us in the play offs. And as we finished above them in the league they didn't show any betterment of us there either. Therefore it cannot be just and right that Boro get to the final ahead of us."

What do people think we are appealing ? Not getting the 14 days ? The punishment ? We admitted everything and more besides. Our only defence seems to be complete ignorance and incompetence. The EFL can't change their minds again over the final, they'd have Hull and Middleborough sueing their arses. Being expelled is a hard thing to take, but we weren't guaranteed to beat Hull so we are talking of a "potential" hit rather than a certain one.
