The points would. But if Wigan didn't get relegated this season then the rather larger bet would have been lost due to the fact they didn't get relegated this season . The bet and the end of this season is the main driver here, not the 12 point deduction .

See the post above this one!If that happened the 12 points would be deducted from next season, not this one.

Why has Rick Parry not been arrested for fraud?

@Prestwich_Blue Whatever the rights or wrongs of the Newcastle takeover and I don't want to derail this one, the EFL are really dragging out their decision over it and yet here, despite everything indicating criminality, they approve it in record time. It beggars belief. To me as an outsider at least, it seems a set up from the start. (the takeover from Whelan) They have picked a 'small' club who would not attract much interest when it goes bust but who have had a big enough history to make it seem a genuine project. If they had taken over Rochdale they would not have been able to move as much money around in loans etc and yet throughout they have had little or no scrutiny from the so called guardians of the game, the EFL.
Funny you should mention Rochdale in this. They have been fending off a takeover attempt from an American consortium over the past few months that appears very odd on the face of it. I fear that Covid has made an awful lot of lower league clubs incredibly vulnerable to takeovers from people looking to make a quick buck through any means possible.

This is surely where Parry and his crew should be stepping in and helping out. What exactly does he do for the shed loads of money he gets ? it seems he sits on his fat arse, waits for it to go wrong and simply tuts, deducts 12 points and says oh well. This clown is in charge of a huge chunk of our national game, it seems the crooks are looking to pick it dry and he is doing squat.

The new owner must be a dick brain.
He bought the bloody club at the start of June for goodness sake so he must have known the situation tge club was in.
The only alternative is betting corruption and I can't see bookies paying out if their is any whiff of forcng the club to get relegated to win a bet.

Now the sticking plaster is peeling off I can only hope some honourable pull the whole bandage away on what they're covering up in this country.

More citizens in Wigan or rugby fans than local club supporters....
that’s one of the main problems. Lots of people in places like Wigan choose to support city, united or Liverpool. They’d probably be fine with more local support.
it’s the same for all the greater Manchester teams. Stockport, Rochdale, Macc. I include myself as part of that problem. I go to County games when I can, but I choose to mainly follow city through my dad/ family.
most the people I sit with at the ethihad are from the surrounding towns - not Manchester

You need to read the twitter thread, the new owner was the old owner.

Wonder what they did with all the cash when the robbing bastards charged City fans £40 a pop 13 seasons ago. Fuck 'em.
Actually it probably bit them on the arse as a lot of Blues didn't go. Wish I'd also boycotted as they beat us 4-0. But fuck 'em anyway.

Was that the game when Dunny Monster and Distin had a nightmare and Emile Heskey ran rings around them for the 1st half hour?Wonder what they did with all the cash when the robbing bastards charged City fans £40 a pop 13 seasons ago. Fuck 'em.

Do you remember the mid-week game away at Birmingham a few years prior that seemed to tip the pricing over the £40 mark (if I remember correctly?Wonder what they did with all the cash when the robbing bastards charged City fans £40 a pop 13 seasons ago. Fuck 'em.

Didn't Heskey score then as well after about 5 minutes and that was pretty much the only'highlight' in the game?
We were gash.......

Checked on this match on Wiki and I was right. Heskey scored after a minute and Dunney own goaled after 3 minutes(nothing new there then).Not sure about Heskey but our defence were all over the place.
And Wigan got 2 more in the 2nd half.
Amazing how much things have changed for both clubs in the ensuing 14 years. You couldn't make it up to be honest.
I went to the brimingham game and the wigan game when they both overcharged.Do you remember the mid-week game away at Birmingham a few years prior that seemed to tip the pricing over the £40 mark (if I remember correctly?

The Birmingham game was early in the season and the 1st or 2nd away away game. Think we played Liverpool the game before or game after if memory serves

If we are on about the same game we were well into the Anelka doesn't like Fowler stage and we couldn't produce half a wank if memory serves.......I remember a night game at Brum with £40 tickets but don't recall anything about the match even though I was there.
Rochdale, Stockport, Bury, Macclesfield, Rags won PL, Oldham, Wigan, Bolton. All got promoted from their respective divisions one season. Only City had nothing to celebrate that year. Cant remember what year it was, except Jimmy Wagg having on orgasm about it on GMR.Not long ago all four divisions were won by north west clubs in the same season.
The league used to have plenty of room for Bury, Stockport doing well, Oldham and Bolton enjoying seasons at the top level, Chester and Macc getting on ok. It’s the financial model and indeed financial behaviour of some clubs which is the problem, not being located in what is after all a football mad region.
