They were obviously surprised by the crush outside the ground, some rozzer thought he was being clever but screwed up big time. The police were completely at fault, but to say the actions of the fans didn't contribute is rubbish, to cause a crush like that outside the ground people need to be pushing.

Whilst the fault has to lie with the police the Liverpool fans should accept that their behavior outside the ground did contribute to the disaster. It's nothing against scousers, it could just as easily have been Saints fans but large amounts of drunk fans, mainly young men, do behave in a certain way. If they had just waited in an orderly manner outside the ground the gates wouldn't have been opened. I also think this "Justice for the 96" needs to be brought to a head, the copper ****ed up, changes have been made. Remember the dead, forget the blame, and move on.

It is amazing that the one person that has kept his job is the finance director. You would have thought he could have worked out the state of the finances when he added Ryan Smith to the payroll in January.

I'm pretty sure if a club ceases trading then their registration will be cancelled and they will be able to play for whoever they want.

But if we don't make the end of the season they wont be able to sell a single player.

I don't get all this "club go out of existence" stuff, why are we so different to all the over clubs that go through administration and carry on? Can someone explain what Barclays and/or Aviva have to gain through killing the club? If the club stops trading then every single player will have their contracts cancelled and leave for nothing. Surely it is absolutely vital for the Bank to have us keep trading untill the end of the season if they want to cash in on anyone?

I suppose it's impossible to do anything until we know wether we are going to be in business, and if we are wether we are owned by a consortium of Arab billionaires or by a bunch of fans with buckets.

Bullied at school?

I don't get all this "keep going to the end of the season" ******, what exactly would Barclays of Aviva have to gain by making SFC die? Surely it's in their interests to keep us running?

If Lowe had filed for admin just a few days earlier it would be a simple case of agree a CVA and we would be starting next season on a clean slate. Cheers Rupes, you ****.

I think we will be in line for -25, -10 for admin, -15 for the CVA. I know Bournemouth got -17 for the CVA but that was because they have been in admin before. I think 15 is what Leeds got.

I find it offensive what the Football League have done to Luton. There obviously needs to be punishments for teams that break the rules but removing them from the league is just a complete disgrace.

Probably a fraction of what the club spent on the pointless numerous rozzers all on double bubble.

We are 2 points off 3 teams, 3 wins will keep us up, you can have my personal guarantee on that. Doubt we will get them tho.

It's hard to argue with anything GM has said here, Lowe, Wilde, Crouch, Hoos and that tangerine coloured **** should cough up the 500k between them, they are all to blame.

If people want to donate wouldn't they be better off just buying a few extra tickets or something from the store? At least then it would show up in the accounts as ticket/merchandise sales and the club would look more attractive to an investor.

No doubt he was over-rated but anyone who can play left midfield for Hertha Berlin and get in the Czech Republic squad for the last European Championships as a left midfielder should at least be given a run out in our shower of ****e. Or we could just stick with the same side that got dicked by Charlton.

Agree, it is madness he has not even been given a go in his favoured position. This is a guy who scored for fun in the SPL and the one season he has played left mid for us he spent most of his time covering for Bale. Has to be worth a try over the current crock of ****e.

I refuse to believe it's just the incompetence of Lowe that led to this, they would have known what Barclays plans were, they would have known exactly when we were to go over our overdraft. IMO Lowe put the club into admin a few days after the deadline either out of spite, or for some other reason. Can anypne else offer a logical explanation as to why we would enter administration just a few days after the critcal deadline?

probably

I can't see what Barclay's would have to gain by misleading Lowe about the overdraft facility, or if in fact they can say one thing and do another? Our financial state couldn't have been much different a few days earlier, we all knew the deadline was the last Thursday in March, I find it incredible that all this happened a few days later. Clubs previously have been able to time going into admin during the half time break of the final league game to avoid a deduction the next season. Why were we incapable of even hitting an obvious deadline! When we get the deduction we will be a far less attractive buy, 2 years in League 1 minimum. It will certainly reduce the value of the club, I will be very suspicious if Lowe attempts to buy the thing. Also it is my understanding that the creditors didn't put us in admin, Lowe did it when some cheques bounced - I think.

Lowe surely had to be aware of the overdraft facility, and of how much was going out in cheques? A simple meeting with the bank a couple of weeks before might have been a good idea - no? As for extra funding, both lowe and Wilde are very wealthy men - maybe a short term interest free loan might have helped?

Might be a good idea for a couple bucket collectors to hang around the player's entrance.

If Lowe had announced admin 6 days earlier than he did we would be starting next season on a level playing field. His final act of spite or incompetence has really ****ed this club up.

I wish it was do or die, think now it's more do and still die regardless of the result.
