A lot of the pundit speculation is for a 9 point penalty for Wednesday - that would put them in 23rd place. I haven't heard much about the Derby ground sale fiddle recently - but the charge is similar to Wednesday's.

Barnsley were threatening legal action if they are relegated without the Wednesday and Derby cases being resolved - i.e. soon!
If Derby get in the play-off and we don't and then later there is a points deduction what will happen? I mean for example of the have played 1 or 2 semi-final games and won.
