You have too scroll down a bit albeit the article on racism is interesting too above it

 

So the league are now loaning them cash to make sure they at least get to the end of the season

 

Sounds like the preferential treatment the Bradford Bulls got.

 

Bolton players have downed tools and will not play tomorrow.

 

That's what many people said when Hitler threatened Czechoslovakia in 1938.

 

I don't agree with them but parachute payments should be ringfenced to cover contracts already in situ at the point of relegation. It shouldn't be monies used to buy more players on good contracts once relegated.

 

They can support them in the Northern Premier then can't they

 

They won't get expelled from the league. they'll go in administration if this new guy can't provide proof of funds, and start next season with a points deduction. a new buyer could probably be found by administrators if the debts are written off.

 

I agree. But living far beyond means is sometimes down to fans expectations too but there is a lot of trust that owners have done their sums and everything is ok

 

Our lass would like a 4 bedroomed detached in Formby, but she aint' getting one.

Of course the vast majority of fans want the best, but trying to achieve that is down to the responsible people at the club to make sure they don't over commit

 

Sounds like they have until 10.30 to put arrangements for Administration in place or they could face liquidation.
I can't say I'm sad to see them go into Administration - they basically cheated their way out of L1 by obtaining players that everyone knew they couldn't afford. The FL turned a blind eye to that - and then let them reinforce in January by signing loan players, despite their owing money for previous transfers - and has indulged them for far too long in the Championship. So an Admin, with additional points deduction for missing games, in L1 serves them right as far as I'm concerned. Tough on the fans but hey ho.

However, it would be shocking to see one of the oldest FL clubs go out of existence, and terrible for their fans. So I hope they get their act together to avoid liquidation.

 

That was before the hearing was adjourned. The judge wasn’t pleased that Anderson didn’t attend and wasn’t represented. It was another creditor that put in the application

 

I blame Parkinson.

 

No surprise there then .

 

Sadly, looks like they've had it, great traditional football club, surprised this hasn't happened to other clubs over recent years...
