Here's a convoluted scenario... the 6th placed team finishes on 78 points, Newcastle lose both their remaining games and finish on 88 points, and are then docked 10 points. They'd knock the other team out and finish 6th on virtue of a having a higher goal difference.

I'd be mightily pissed off if I was the team that missed out because of another team breaking the rules!

The answer is to deduct 11 points.

No they wouldn't. The team that finished 6th, would actually end up in 5th!

The team that finished 3rd would move up to take 2nd and everyone would follow.
