Um Bongo Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 (edited) Find out today if they will be thrown out of the league. At best, it's going to be a point deduction of at least -10. Apparently the Football league aren't happy with their finances and don't think they will last the season.

St Landrew Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 I find it all rather strange, this points deduction thing. I mean, it's the football equivalent of kicking a man when he's down. Do the football authorities think every club is Leeds United, and therefore trying to pull a fast one..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its to stop clubs going into administration to get rid of debt.If only it was in force when Pompey did so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose making them go bust will get rid of the debt, still let the rich get richer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BotleySaint Posted 8 August, 2008 Share Posted 8 August, 2008 it will likely line up with 22nd Bournemouth -17pts 23rd Rotherham -17pts 24th Luton -30 pts Bizzare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 8 August, 2008 Share Posted 8 August, 2008 The league had to act.Too many clubs like Leicester and Pompey took the easy way out by going into administration to lift the burden of massive debt and hurting small businesses. This meant that well run clubs had trouble getting credit as firms were wary of suppling them only to be bad debts. Now administration is a last resort and suppliers know that they are more likely to be paid and so will supply thm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 8 August, 2008 Share Posted 8 August, 2008 Fair enough in the case of Leeds, who behaved ridiculously with their finances for a long time, but Bournemouth are just a small club that never have any money. They hardly overspent. There has to be a better way than just relegating the clubs again.Thats not the point, but the club has been reckless.They have had Anderton on their books for a few seasons, he doesnt come cheap. If you are a small supplier you dont need bad debts however a small a club they are selling to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
