Got ya. Not sure, Blue. I know they were sailing close, but were also making a big deal of virtue signalling how compliant they were, whilst pretending to not grass up Sheff Weds and Derby (no love lost between them anyway) by constantly mentioning them just in passing. Rat of a club and no mistake. Might well indeed have all come back to haunt them had Bielsa ballsed it up and failed to get them up. They still maintain they were docked 25pts over two seasons and have never let it go. Absolute technical crap, though. They accepted 10pts right at the last minute in 2007 once they knew they were down. It essentially meant nothing. But they promised to have their house in order for the following August in League One. But they didn't. Effectively the League transferred the 10pts that they would have served had they stayed up and also hit them with another five for trying to pull a fast one. Thing is, though, had they managed to sort matters between May and August, they could genuinely have just absorbed the earlier 10pts deduction with no lasting effect at all given that they were already down.
