Tony Le Mesmer Almost there...

Wolves 109
Wigan 109

Do we not hold an unofficial record for the earliest title secured? Man City might best that.


Be serious, Wolves can only get 106 after we have beaten them at their place!

Even if they do beat the title secured record, Man. City cannot get our record of the earliest promotion gained

Unfortunately, neither of those are records that we hold (and it's my fault that people think we have the promotion one). Reading got promotion at Leicester on 25 March. In advance of that game, I had read in an old Rothmans that Notts County had the earliest ever promotion on 28 March 1998. I told the club and the Post, both of whom used the information.

Later I learned that Middlesbrough got promotion on 23 March 1974. But it was by a win over Oxford, so that's OK. They also won the title on 30 March 1974. Whether either of those are actually the earliest I don't know, but it does beat Reading.

If Man City did manage to get promoted, what league would they go into? Do the leagues fold round and they end up in League Two?

My point was Man. C cannot break that record because they cannot be promoted!

Like anything will happen to them if they breach FFP! Interesting that the report mentions the massive fine dished out to QPR, how did that work out eh?

It would be freakin' hilarious if they had points deducted to deny them promotion!

Won't happen but it states a sanction is deduction of points to deny them promotion. Any idea if that would be enough points to ensure they don't go up automatically or to ensure they miss out on the playoffs?

They can actually choose to bump them out of the promotion/playoff places altogether, it is not limited to a fixed point deduction.

So, their point tally would stand, but they wouldn't be allowed to be promoted.

D-day for all this stuff is April - projections for the current year have to be submitted by the end of March, and penalties for breaches over the three year period then applied by the end of the season.

Obvs won't happen, but given the size of losses we're talking about, preventing promotion this season would almost have to guarantee no promotion the next two seasons as well without a dramatic firesale and slashing of the wage bill.

It'd be hilarious if Wolves finished top three seasons running and still didn't get promoted :lol:

Or if they broke the points record, and didn't get promoted.

It's not that I've got anything specifically against Wolves in particular - but I'm desperate for them to use their new powers against somebody. It only has to happen once, for clubs to take FFP seriously.

Or in my scenario three times.

Nearly there Wolves need to win all their last 10 games to equal it. likewise Wigan to beat it.

Bloody Scunthorpe - if they'd held out for another 4 minutes we'd be safe. At least for a share
