However, this meant a 10 point deduction for the club at the start of the new season.

This was the first time such a point deduction had been made in the league's history.

There was little room to argue with the point deduction.

Instead, the four point deduction is to be suspended for two years.

It was an overwhelming feeling before the game to know there would be no points deduction.

This allowed them to avoid a points deduction in the next season, but has proved a controversial move.
