windermereROYAL Wondering if the EFL are going to make a decision on Wigan before Wednesday? a few clubs are going to be left in limbo without knowing the outcome of their results before they kick off.

I think the EFL were hoping Wigan would keep up their winning streak so that the points deduction would be irrelevant. To be honest I think Wigan will be fine points deduction or no points deduction, they've done enough.


That`s debatable, they would be on 46 points and 3rd bottom with 12 points less with Fulham at home to come.

Wigan’s form has been unbelievable of late but with twelve points off they are on 46 and two points from safety, I hope they stay up whatever happens but with the deduction it’s a tall order

Are they waiting for them to get to the seasons end before giving them a deduction? It's very unfair. They should be a bit more lenient I think.

Not sure. They’re ten points away from 22nd and Luton have an easier game than Wigan on Wednesday.

Bear in mind Fulham will probably rest all of their better players for the playoffs, should make Wigan's job a bit easier.

Wasn’t it the case that if they finish out of the bottom three then the points are deducted this season, if they finish in the bottom three, the points get deducted next season?

But, as unlikely as it may be, Fulham can still finish second so surely they will go all out for a win

Yeah that's true, didn't realise they were on 80 points. Very unlikely they'll get top two though.

Really want Birmingham to go down with Hull and Barnsley.

Yes it is the case. Wasn't there some massive shit housery involved aswell, not of Wigans fault or doing that this all came about of?

I want them to stay up. And I want Charlton to stay up. Hull, Luton and another to go down please.

Barnsley are virtually gone, would like Luton to stay up, would love Birmingham to drop, failing that Charlton, because I can`t stand Lee Bowyer.

With the penalty Wigan are on 46.

The two sides above are on 48. Those two sides don’t have to win, they just want Fulham to win or draw.

Wigan are DOWN unless they beat Fulham in the last game.

Boro and Brum are safe with the points deduction, aren't they?

More's The point, they need to beat Fulham and have an other result, be it Luton or Chatlton go their way. Admittedly Charlton away at Leeds looks a home banker but Leeds are done and dusted and it's Bowyer's old club etc etc.

Charlton's late equaliser has taken safety out of Wigan's hands.

Going to be a cracking final day anyway

The line up for the champ’ next season could be great actually. Well looking forward to it

Could have WBA, Villa, Cov and Birmingham all together which would be interesting

Whilst we could have games against Bournemouth, Watford, Brentford, Wycombe, Fulham, Luton, QPR, Charlton, Bristol City for locality plus the West Midlands teams not too far away relatively

You could reasonably expect to predict most of the bottom six right now.

Rotherham, Coventry, Wycombe and whoever survives of Barnsley, Charlton, Luton and maybe Hull.

Birmingham probably won't be that far away either.

Then you've got a potential points deduction for Wednesday, maybe Villa.

Do we not have a possible points reduction aswell?

Looks pretty unlikely for the stadium sale.

FFP might be a different matter depending on our summer and the suspension of rules.
