Has the Premier League ever given a points deduction
Yes- twice
#Twats - 9 Points in 2009/10 (first PL side to enter administration)
1996/97 Middlesbrough
3 points deducted for the unauthorised postponing of a match
Middlesbrough were due to play at Blackburn in December but manager Bryan Robson claimed he was unable to field a competitive team as they had 23 players unavailable because of injury, illness or suspension. Middlesbrough postponed the match - but without the permission of the Premier League. As a result they were fined £50,000 and were docked three points, the loss of points seeing them relegated at the season's end.
