' THE GAS TO APPEAL RELEGATION '
Wed Jun 04, 2014 10:34 am
It has come to the attention of Bristol Rovers FC that Wycombe Wanderers FC appear to have breached FA rules on Third Party Ownership.
It’s current Chairman, in giving evidence at a recent FA Disciplinary Hearing, appears to have admitted a serious breach in respect of the player, Matt Phillips (and possibly other players).
The result of this led to Wycombe wrongfully obtaining a competitive advantage over Bristol Rovers.
Without this, Wycombe rather than Bristol Rovers could have been relegated.
Bristol Rovers were relegated merely on goal difference, and as the breach, if proven, would have almost certainly led to a points deduction, Bristol Rovers have instructed specialist sports lawyers together with Nick De Marco, a leading sports barrister, to draft and send a complaint to both The Football League and The Football Association.
The letter can be viewed here Football League letter

Was speaking to a rovers fan in work about this and he thinks it's more about seeking compo than anything.

Got a soft spot for the Gas, but this isn't the way to go about it. It was in their own hands last game of the season, but they lost at home to Mansfield Town. That's football. If it was an ineligible player, or something, then fair enough, but ownership is too far away from the playing side.
Still hope they get promoted next season, though. UTG!

If they win can we appeal QPR's promotion?
