What's wrong with him telling the truth? We've either broken a Football League rule or we haven't. Saying that we spotted a loophole and did something about it doesn't alter the actual circumstances. IMHO of course.

It's OK. We can let most of them go under the trades descriptions act I'd have thought....

+1 The rule is a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

I tend to agree - the points penalty punishes the fans more than it does the management. That said, there needs to be a punishment of some sort for financial mismanagement otherwise unscrupulous clubs would buy players they couldn't afford to try and gain an advantage over clubs who manage their finances more prudently. However, I'm not sure if the Football League have the jurisdiction to financially penalise the individuals running the clubs as I guess it's not strictly speaking "illegal" to over commit a company's spending which is why they resort to the 'easy option' of penalising the fans. Dunno.

He must be. Fry clearly said that the Football Club directors (plural) were in discussion with lawyers. Given there are only two directors of the Football Club Jones must, by definition, still be on the Football Club board.

Ok, we won't

It can't (IMHO of course)

In his Sky Sports News appearance earlier, Fry was rightly banging on about the fact that he was Administrator of SLH and that the directors of the Football Club are discussing their next move with lawyers etc. Surely then it should be the Football Club directors on TV defending the Football Club's position rather than someone representing SLH? How can it help our case if the directors of the subsidiary of the plc that is unaffected by the administration situation never show their faces (let alone earlobes)? Get David Jones and/or Ken Tointon in front of the media to show people that the Football Club is indeed being run under separate management. No?

No, it wasn't just you. He couldn't have looked more chuffed with himself if he'd tried.

Poll? (seriously)

:confused:

Grinning inanely....

Lord Mawhinney on SSN now

Subtitles?

Football League chairman Lord Mawhinney on SSN in next hour to explain their decision

I would imagine the club's lawyers are pawing over the content before any statement is released....

Except in posts saying we shouldn't mention them....

Still 'very very hopeful' Morph?

Barclays called the shots

No one thought it would be a good thing per se. Some thought it might be better in the long run than the alternative. Not the same thing.

Sky Sports News asking for Saints fans to email their reaction. This would be a good question to email them to get it on national TV

A simple equation: Selling season tickets = club saved Does today's decision by the football league affect the club's ability to start selling them now....and fast? Or does it complicate things further?

So, can we start selling season tickets for League 1 now and thus keep the club afloat?

Not happy TBH

Perhaps it would help with the clarity if Richard Chorley posted why one Saints fan group is 'competing' with another fan group?
