Wondering quite how serious this could end up being? If as we are led to believe Pinnacle have 3 sets of lawyers all agreeing we should not have had to deductions. If the League refuse our right to appeal and/or refuse our entry into the league then surely a court case will follow (restraint of trade, deliberate interference , not sure of the legal terms it would come under). If that was to happen could the FL even risk allowing the forthcoming season to start without us until a court case has been decided?

Even back when it WAS The Saint they had to cut back on their Saints related output as they were in breach of their licence which was for a local station with news and music. So not much scope for increasing the Saints stuff unless they applied for a brand new licence.

As I've posted on another football site ... As a Saints fan I also feel a "moral duty" to take the 10 point penalty. BUT rules are rules. Southampton Leisure Holdings Plc are in administration. Southampton Football Club Ltd isn't. SFC Ltd doesn't owe anyone anything although they are going to have a very tough time getting through the summer if an investor doesn't step in soon. SLH wasn't JUST the football club. It owned radio stations, retirement homes, insurance services to name but 3 other interests. One by one they were all sold off or closed as they were making a loss. It could turn out that the Leagues forensic accountant could possibly find that the football club was subsidising those other operations over the years. Either way we'll be relegated this year -we simply aren't good enough to stay up.

I can't start a thread so how about someone who can doing it for me. Southampton Football Club Ltd Sweepstake Your guess at how much the Football Club will be sold for. Competition expires in 24 days and counting.

So is Askham still there?
