He will look a bit of a tit if he does get more than what he bargained for and doesn't have a lawyer to advise him! Saying that, I cannot see a points deduction at this late stage.

TBA. I can not see wycombe being deducted any points. I not even sure rovers would receive any damages; the league may fine the club, but what the ****. Gas will need to man up and win the conference.

As an interested bystander in this affair, I thought I'd offer my perspective.
- There is very little hard fact in the public domain about it.
- There is a lot of hyperbole, rumour, conjecture and in some instance the plain bizarre about.
- From what little there is in the public domain there does not appear much of a case to answer - punishment has already been handed out.
- In the unlikely event of their being case to be answered and punishment being handed out as a points deduction as will all previous cases of this nature it will apply from next season.
- The FL have no history of reprieving relegated clubs.
- The BRFC FL share has been surrendered.
- Both the FL and the Conference has been constituted for next season - the two outstanding issues raised at AGM have now been resolved.
- Conference has already started consulting the clubs about next seasons fixtures (and BRFC would have been included in that) and will be shortly publishing the draft fixtures to the clubs ahead of the public publication.
I really hope the club has not been distracted and consumed to the same extent that the fans appeared to have been by this affair. It's a huge job to re-engineer the club on and off the pitch to get it Conference ready, certainly a job that should not be underestimated. All of which has to be carried out in a remarkably short period of time. There are many reasons why it's been a long time since an ex FL club has bounced back at first attempt and this is one of them. The other biggie, is Conference clubs are far better set up than have ever been before and improving with every season that goes by.
Concentrating on this affair now, when ones plate is full anyway could have consequences and repercussions for next season and if I was a BRFC fan (I'm not) I'd be mildly concerned. In my humble opinion the only way you are going to return to the FL is to either win the Conference or the Conference play offs, just like the other Conference clubs - I'd be maximising effort achieving that.

Marty... The fact there is so little info in the public domain really does make it impossible to make a judgement call, there could reatbe nothing to this case and the BoD are just using it to distract attention, or they could have info which will give the FA something to be concerned about, the fact the WW Chairman has been called in front if the FA suggests there is possibly something to Rovers claim. With WW only staying up on GD it is probably unique when it comes to cases of this nature?

There is quite a lot more in the case than has been publicised,and will only be made public at the full hearing.Paul Smith is bitter because he blew the whistle on WW and they only got a 10 grand fine whilst he lost his l;ivelyhood,watch for fireworks

I thought WW owned up themselves,and dropped Smith in it,i think this is just distracting the club from building the squad now,we cannot build nowt till we know here we are playing. Except it and start putting together a squad to challenge for the title

WW chairman admitted that he thought there were other problems and the agent has put the boot in Their chairman looks a worried man. I believe the reason they have not paid legal is twofold. One is they apparently have a friend who is able to do it gratis and two they may now think it not worth it. Think about it, if you were in that position then would you be laughing about it ? I doubt it. There are some very serious allegations here and the very fact that it was not thrown out immediateky leads me to believe it is a much more contrived and complex list to deal with. If what I was told is even half true then the mind boggles. My main worry is this is a massive distraction and that it is making the rebuilding of the team take a back seat. Yes, this is traditionally a quiet period but when you see the amount of players that we need then it has massive potential to mess the managers plans right up

Someone told me that WW have more charges against them than any other FL club to date, and Wycombe could be on a lot more trouble than they think. I don't think we will be reinstated unless Coventry go broke and out of the league in which case we might, but WW will probably start next season minus 10 or more points, in which case they will go down

If somehow WW gained an advantage through unfair means last season,then considering Rovers went down only on gd,i think WW should be relegated and Rovers reinstated into the FL.
I don't see the point in rules if it means cheats prosper.

I really don't buy that.
Very knowledgeable, articulate and well informed WW involvement trying to spin?

For the record I support the Imps, we blazed the trail into the Conference in 1988. One of the clubs many ignominious firsts! If I was a BRFC supporter I'd be getting concerned at the apparent effort being into this, I'd be concentrating on getting Conference ready. There are some very strong and settled teams in the Conference (I exclude the Imps from that statement). As much as it pains me I can't see much as Grimsby as potential champions, they have a nucleus of a good squad and few astute additions in the close season may see them over the line this season. Wrexham have been quietly building a tidy squad - don't rule Gateshead out too, with their close ties to Newcastle United and ability to get good quality loans from them. I also expect both Kidderminster and Barnet to pushing as well. All these clubs have the nub of settled teams.
