None of the precedents were equivalent though

A fact which has been conveniently ignored. Leeds did not gain any points. Swansea discovered their error prior to the game and withdrew the additional loan player so they only played with 4 subs.

I bet they will change the rule this summer now so its a 3 point deduction or something!

        we could have a stronger bench ( Do we even have 6 loanees now?) (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 22, 16:37:44
        
        No, because we had to send one back (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 22, 17:20:36
        
        ^^^ not quite true (NCFC) - blindasabat, Apr 22, 17:29:55
    - I presume the poenalty would be more severe if all the loan players actually played (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 22, 16:31:33
      - In which case, just have that as the rule and leave the other clause out. (n/m) (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Apr 22, 16:33:37
        
        I agree totally (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 22, 16:35:34
  - à la Sheff Utd last year (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 22, 16:18:53
    - Sheffield United had a decent case however (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 22, 16:24:12
      - But they weren't worried until it affected them. Same as us. Stoke wouldn't (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 22, 16:27:17
        
        But almost everyone agreed with Sheffield, I guess the FA were happy (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 22, 16:31:53

        give you a stronger bench of course (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 22, 16:35:55
    - exactly (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Apr 22, 16:20:46
- Or in fact if they send us down on goal difference (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 22, 16:02:06
