Luton Town appeal fails. Where is the common sense?

Filed in archive General on July 15, 2008

Luton Town's appeal to the FA to have their ten point penalty removed has failed. This means that the club still faces a thirty point deficit before a ball is kicked in anger in the forthcoming season.

Luton have been relegated two seasons in a row and find themselves in League Two with little realistic chance of avoiding the drop into the Conference. It could be a massive battle just to survive as a club, let alone prosper on the field.

The fact is that the people responsible for the wrong-doing that has led to the punishment are no longer with the club. They have been dealt with on a personal level and to punish the club so heavily defies all common sense and logic.

The people who now suffer are the new owners, the staff and players and more importantly, the fans. They are all being heavily punished for something that had nothing to do with them.

I would love to think that the Football League would reconsider their twenty point penalty but I'm not going to hold my breath.

The situation is ridiculous and we can only hope that common sense will prevail in the end.

A difficult situation that probably requires an appeal.

using the same points system lets apply it to the FA members and FL

I think the FA and The FL ought to have a BODY to answer to,,, Maybe if the bigger Clubs got involved here Mawhinney and Despots might listen, MIGHT even GET REMOVED from A JOB they HAve NO IDEA How to RUN, Maybe even they shouldnt be in the HUMAN RACE, HUMANS Have feelings and EMOTIONS THEY SURE DONT!!!,
Insert a couple of People THAT actually do the JOB, People that Know what Its all about not those that THINK they do,,,
