[LU] Arbitration

[Steve Mosley]

I was reflecting on the Sheffield United v West Ham thing milling around my
head today and came up with the following scenario:

Arbitration Panel rule that the FL were incorrect in penalising us the 15
points.
Arbitration Panel find that it is inappropriate considering the position in
the season to return us the 15 points.
Arbitration Panel decide to award us £2.5m (or other such sum) to compensate
us for the injustice of the decision.

Comments...

And I'd be prepared to put money on the shafting us like this...


Cheers,

I'm assuming the play offs will start around May 12th, about a week after
the end of the season. If the result was made known in 3 weeks then that
would be around May 12th, i.e. the same day. If it's 4 weeks then that would
be around the day of the second leg.
So what happens? Donny or Carlisle say are suddenly told that they've been
moved from 2nd to 3rd so need to get the team coach out and hop over to
Forest for a game the next day? If it's 4 weeks and we get our 15 points
back then what happens? Does the team who gets bumped into the play offs,
then take the score from the first game? Obviously not, does that then mean
that the first play off match would be done again?
Obviously this doesn't work, SURELY the arbitration HAS to take into account
the urgency of the matter.

What would be the point in delaying the announcement? Is the plan to just
make the announcement so late that the FL can say there's no time to do
anything about it? If we get those points back after the season will they
then count for next season? Imagine the uproar from other teams if THAT was
the case! Say we got promoted through the playoffs and THEN got a 15 point
lead in the Championship! Of course that will never happen but I really
can't see why they would need to delay the announcement.
