There is going to be a reaction whatever happens, and it will be a big story. They might think dropping it on a Tuesday morning after a Goodison MNF game is a good idea, but people would see through that as well.
The main point is that every day there continues to be appeals and charges outstanding, the credibility of the league gets even lower. They need to sort this all out asap because the league table is a farce right now.
Dyche presser not happening til tomorrow, even for Monday games Saturday pressers feel rare?
Doesn’t necessarily mean they know the appeal result is coming today but I suspect they’re keeping the decks clear just in case.

Unusual to have a Saturday presser and clash with a matchday
I'm guessing it's early tomorrow in the morning?

Noticed that myself. Scheduled in early as well (9.30 I believe).
I think it has happened before, but yeah it's rare.
They need it sorted sooner rather than later as well, because it will set the precedent for the next breaches. Without this done, it pushes that further down the line.
The whole process, including the next set and any potential breaches, needs to be done before the season is officially over.
If you think, we went before the panel in I think October, the result came out in November, and it's now late February - they may need to do that all over again.
I believe the players and coaching staff have had a day break (some going away), which may be the reason why it's been pushed back.

Ah okay, might explain why Beto appeared to be in Paris the other day.
It's all down to the premier league's absurd decision to bring in fast tracking, but only for the single or lesser charges.
The decision to recommend points deductions as the appropriate punishment for technical accounting issues, is absolutely one of the very worst decisions made in English football. It completely ruins the league as a credible sporting competition where results are decided only on a football field, and it also leads to a two tier situation where the more serious charges get dealt with far later and can be kicked down the road. It's neither a fair nor a transparent system.
This would make sense also. Although I do believe the club don’t know when the outcome is due so this would be a sensible precaution to avoid the manager getting blindsided by any announcements just before or even during the presser.
Yeah, 4 points back seems to be the most rumoured number so I’ve set it as the mid- point of my expectations.
Any deduction is wrong for something like this but more than 4 will feel like an ok result for me, less than 4 will feel like a real defeat. If it does end up being exactly 4 it’s pretty much the shrug-your-shoulders number.
Relax everyone. There's nowt happening today now anyway
