    Macclesfield have been deducted 6 points with a further 4 points suspended.

    It puts them 3rd bottom, but with 5 months of the season to go, I doubt that will be the last time they hit financial trouble.

    So Macclesfield's game against Crewe gets postponed by the EFL because the player go on strike. They had no option to play the youth team to fulfill the fixture as the EFL took the decision out of their hands. This game will get played at some stage.
    Within a month they are given a 6 points deduction with a further 4 points suspended.

    Bolton cancel a game against Brentford as their players went on strike without informing the EFL or Brentford. The fixture never gets played.
    They get a suspended points deduction, that's it.

    Why are we playing with two different rule books for the same offence? Is there a bingo machine at the EFL where the punishment is pulled out?

    More Macclesfield chaos ensues!

    “Macclesfield Town's home game against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday is in doubt because the club have been served a "zero-capacity notice" at Moss Rose.

    The club suspended ticket sales for the fixture after the notice was served by the local Safety Advisory Group”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50861733

    Macclesfield Town: League Two club given seven-point deduction

    Good to see the football authorities have got their priorities right.

    Rules is rules .. and all that!

    It's easy to apply rules which try to demonstrate that the EFL has some power in its own backyard in a time of crisis. Meanwhile the much, much, much bigger issues in football are simply ignored since nobody is showing any leadership on these matters.

    The Bolton saga is a pantomime,with the EFL acting as the fairy godmother to them.

    Another 6 point deduction. Fortunately for them 4 of those points are suspended, so they stay up just.

    It does seem that way. Still, from our point of view, it's a much shorter journey for the club and most of our supporters. And most importantly, it's a cracking place for real ale. :thumbup:

    I think any decisions on deductions need to be made by a certain point so that the people making the decisions are not influenced

    Think you need to understand the process here
    The independent disciplinary commission gave the suspended points deduction.
    The EFL appeal
    The independent arbitration panel upheld the appeal and it's been implemented.
