trousers Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 (edited) If we're going through all this again (at best), I suspect Fry will want/need to insist on an accelerated 2nd exclusivity period if Pinnacle get usurped. How fast? Who knows... Edited 26 June, 2009 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I've noted the 21 days as a benchmark. Added 18 months as the maximum time a club can be in Admin too (as if). There's got to be more than just this ? Anyone got an information on League rules re: various stuff like the golden share, voting rights ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Weren't Cup replays changed from the same week years ago to 10 days later because police needed longer notice that games would take place.? Is there a cut off date with them for a fixture to/ not to take place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we don't have any issues with the stadium being locked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The administrators cannot apply for a licence to compete in the league, so the 18 months is an academic figure, as the absolute most time a club could stay in admin would be about 12 months - renew licence, declare admin, unable to renew licence 12 months later...

I had a feeling someone was going to say that : http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/notts-county-finally-out-of-administration-575506.html Don't ask me how Notts Co did it... but the FL have changed the points deduction / admin / financial propriety rules at least twice since then (the held-over -10 and the new recent HMRC ruling) so it's possible this is no longer a viable timescale. We're sure as hell not getting the 18 months, anyway. Edited 26 June, 2009 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 27 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 27 June, 2009 Seeing as someone on another thread felt the need to ask what the timescales were regarding contract breaches and periods of notice, I'll just point out that it's captured above, and maybe start being less subtle about asking for this to be stickied.

northam soul Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Money is probably not the issue now as Fry has sold a couple of players to keep us going. The problem is as some have said that the administrator cannot get a license to play so we do only have a few weeks or we WILL go out of existence.
