Accrington Stanley will find out next week whether they face any deduction of points or other punishment for allegedly fielding two players without the correct documentation.
The appeal, which will be heard in Preston on March 30, could result in a seven points reduction.
Chairman Eric Whalley isn't amused.
"It took us 44 years to get back into the Football League and one or two are people are doing their best to make it one of the shortest stays ever," Whalley told the Daily Telegraph.
As well as a potential points deduction Whalley has other problems.
Last Saturday he allowed free admission to the game with Torquay. Accrington collected three points but the cost to the club was substantial.
And he has to decide whether to allow a drum into the ground for this Saturday's clash with Hereford United. In the past there have been complaints. But Whalley let the drum back in last Saturday to create atmosphere.
"It was banned because the neighbours complained but it was like Accrington bloody library," explained Whalley.
According to the Telegraph no-one would suspect Whalley of being a football league club chairman. Last Saturday he was said to be sporting a 'woolly pully decorated in crumbs from a half-eaten sausage roll, utterly bereft of Armani and without the slightest hint of overwhelming cologne or codswallop in the air'.
Whalley even has a plan to stop being 'rumbled' whilst away from the club.
"If I ever go anywhere and I don't want to talk to someone and they ask me where I'm from, I say Hyndburn because nobody has heard of bloody Hyndburn. But if I want to talk, I'll say Accrington. Everyone wants to talk about football then."
