48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks! (1 Viewer)

[Voice_of_Reason]

What does everyone think will happen ?

 

---

[matesx]

Sunderland will vote us out

 

[slyblue57]

Nothing will happen we will be allowed to play where ever.
Surely no one thinks we ll be expelled, I ll happily take bets on it .
Pusb.

 

[Grendel]

Doubt the vote will happen

 

[Dickie]

I doubt other clubs would vote us out. Surely there would be some solidarity, even from Sunderland...

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

It won't happen

 

[cc84cov]

Ricoh deal will be announced before it gets to that point I feel...

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Assuming that we are not expelled, but don't have an agreement on a ground for next season. It will be interesting to see what the EFL have to say.
We could promote a ground that the EFL won't approve, but they would be powerless to expel us!

 

[Adge]

Ricoh or ground-share. Ricoh again long term will hamper us but short term we’ll take it!

 

[robbiethemole]

Never happened before has it?? Just need 18 teams to vote for us to stay.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I doubt there is going to be a vote and if there is we'd be fine anyway.

Sunderland and Accrington chairmen both already said they'd vote to keep us in.

Sunderland said they would keep us in?? Highly doubt that

That'll please the dirty mackem fans hahahahha

 

[Nick]

I'd guess people who never bother going will be posting about how scared they are over and over and over.

 

[Liquid Gold]

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The teams I could see voting against us are the relegated ones but not many others

 

[Evo1883]

We will sign at the Ricoh for 5-10 years and we will get promoted next season

 

[duffer]

Personally, I think the Sunderland rivalry is kind of an invented thing to give the knuckle-draggers from both sides an excuse for crap behaviour. I don't remember it being anything like as hostile until the recent years of bigging it up on the internet.

Either way, I can't see many teams choosing to vote us out given the numbers of travelling fans we take to most places. As fans we'll care, but other owners will mostly be focussed on the money, imho.

They'll also be focussed on the fact they may be the next ones needing a favour in a future.

Utterly pointless having a vote in a closed shop.

 

[Esoterica]

Is '48 hours from expulsion' the B side to Gene Pitney's '24 hours from Tulsa'?

 

[chiefdave]

 

[Warwickhunt]

Just don't understand why the Dickheads have to wait until the last minute to agree the deal! They call it Brinkmanship! load of Bollox if you ask me! If they can agree a deal in the last minute they can agree the same deal the day before? .Is Joy Seppala going for the Prime Minister position after May fucks off or something? Last Minute indeed! what a load of bollox

London Wasps have been refusing to talk to them, what do you want them to do?

 

[MusicDating]

More pertinent question would be;-what will the EFL do next when their members vote against expulsion?

 

[stevefloyd]

Its all a fucking stupid game if we get voted out i will cover my balls in cheese and get a rat to gnaw them off

I don't think teams would vote us out, quite a number of teams rent their grounds now and as a league member do you really want to set a precedent of voting clubs out who end up evicted from their grounds?

Oxford won't be voting us out for that reason!

 

[better days]

Until 1986 teams finishing at the bottom of the league (div 4) then had the apply for re-election
As they were almost always re-elected due to the old pals act the authorities had to change to automatic relegation
Really this is a clever way for the EFL to delegate responsibility to the clubs for disciplining our owners
All concerned could forecast the outcome but I suppose it's better than doing nothing

Well they should announce where we will be playing then! Not at the last fucking minute! it pisses me offf!

Think you missed his point.

 

[Liquid Gold]

So you’d be happy if we agreed to play in Birmingham over trying as long as we can to get a ricoh deal?

This is exactly the point. Anyone who votes against us and doesn't own their ground sets a very dangerous precedent, I can't imagine for a minute there are many clubs willing to risk setting that kind of precedent.

Which is why the EFL would always allow us a ground share rather than kick us out of the league.

Exactly, they'll go on the money and going up a position in the table or promoted or being saved from relegation by proxy of us being kicked out, is worth more than making £50-75k a season from the tickets and beer they make from us mugs once a season.... if we play them on a Saturday at 3pm.
