The Football League has expressed concern over a letter received from a captured Barnsley centre-forward today imploring them to dock relegation-threatened Accrington Stanley 24 points.

The letter was received from Nathan Joynes, currently believed to be on-loan at basement boys Boston United of League Two.

State within a state? Joynes' own words underline greatness of Steve Evans

In the letter, Joynes asks, 'Isn't it time Accrington Stanley were docked 24 points for there(sic) wronGfullness(sic)?' while providing a glowing tribute to manager Steve Evans.

Football League chairman Lord Huthbert Dozy-Blazer told impsTALK he was 'concerned' about the circumstances under which the letter was written, before lapsing into a deep sleep shortly thereafter.

"Yes, concerning," he mumbled. "I'm sure we'll deal with Accrington appropriately, or something. You know old boy, I rather think I've over indulged on the old port...zzzzzzzzzzz....."

Joynes' is currently being detained in an 'undisclosed' location and isn't due for release until early May.
