We're already at least 4 points off the bottom without a ball being kicked!

Wigan have had 4 points deducted with another 4 suspended if they fail to pay their wages on time!
Too lenient in my humble opinion having repeatedly paid players late.

They should find a way of punishing the owners, not the fans.
Should have been at least 10. Piss poor. Didn't realise points deductions were impacted by inflation ffs
its odd how different it is for different clubs

or even, look at Wasps in Rugby
Now 8 points off bottom!
Raises the question of what will happen when/if Wigan do a Bury?

If it happens before the fixtures come out (22nd June), then would MK Franchise Dons stay up? Or would both Carlisle and Stockport get promoted, making this weekend's play-off final irrelevant? Would Chesterfield sneak into league 2? 

Last, but not least, will scummers end up joining Bury?
I just think the whole points deduction thing is wrong. All it does is punish the players and fans whose fault it most definitely isn’t. Freezing assists of the owners to pay debts should be the way ahead plus an international ban on being an owner or share holder in any sporting area.
It's just been bumped up to -8 now. Get Jack back, pronto!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Peterborough also get a points deduction. I'm a bit surprised they weren't given on last season.
...and just seen that Fleetwoods owner has been found guilty of money laundering. So that's another club dead in the water

What are we basing this on Pedalo?

Good find that Pedalo. 2. looks distinctly like what Scum tried!!
All I would say is the key word is "suspended". I would still expect them to be strong this season unless the shit hits the fan there. They'll just keep on doing what they do ref recruitment which tbf works well for them.

I wonder if that’s why posh have put so many players up for sale.
Clarke Harris could pay a fair chunk of that off.
It still weakens Posh and rightly so. We all now appreciate how a club should be run

not "all"
We shall still see calls for splashing the cash, as what could possible go wrong.
