What's happening with Plymouth ?
They lost a meaningless 30 points, and have to jump through roughly the same hoops as Cov did when we went into administration. Bonds, business plans, that sort of things.
It may get looked into further, If so, the longer it takes, the more likely it becomes that any further penalty would affect next season, and the less likely it would affect promotion and relegation from this season.
