Who did Millers boss Steve Evans turn to first after the Millers had sealed their Championship safety?

Well written articles.

Can anyone explain to me why we were deducted 3 points for fielding an ineligible player (rightly so in my opinion) and yet Blackpool were awarded a point for playing 48 minutes of football and fielding 6000 ineligible players?

Total double standards. Huddersfield should have been awarded the win,

Scenario: Rotherham need 1 point to stay up. On the 48th minute the away side are attacking so the fans invade the pitch to ensure a goal isn't scored. The game is abandoned and a point awarded to both sides. Rotherham stay up after blatantly failing to complete a match. I think that the FL have set an awful precedent here.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the FA has leeway in how they interpret and punish clubs depending on the impact.

They did give mention to the impact of the game on the teams and league in their summary but I agree it seems to be unsatisfactory.

Also, villa were fined 200k for a pitch invasion, so how much will Blackpool be hit with for the same plus the abandonment?

I cant comment on Blackpool without mentioning the odious and bizarre situation the fans are having to endure. All power to them!

Villa was FA cup so they aren't really related financially. I see a Blackpool fan has successfully sued Oyston's on for 20k in libel damages. Ha, what goes around...
