Once they can sort out the Stevenage/Macclesfield issue which I beleve is supposed to be next week.


Added:- The EFL appeal is on the 11th.

Macclesfield should definitely be put down.

Pretty sure there was an EFL post somewhere saying they expected the fixtures to be released August 21st, subject to discussions with the Premier League

Agreed,if Macclesfield get away with failing to pay their players and therefore having fixtures cancelled then other clubs in trouble could do the same.
As bad as Stevenage were at least they fulfilled their fixtures.

I agree. The EFL could have sorted this by making the decision about Maccs last punishment themselves and deducting points and relegating them, however they bottled it saying the decision on the points deduction should be made by an independent arbitrator. The points deducted by the arbitration panel meant Macc stayed up. EFL have appealed it saying should have been more. You couldn't really make it up, didn't want to make a decision so passed on responsibility to someone else, didn't like the outcome so appealed - the EFL really need to grow a pair and start to manage their league themselves.
