Points deductions (or not) this season or next and how many?

[modern matron]

I apologise if this has been posted elsewhere, but can an enlightened person please explain what the scenarios are in terms of points deductions (or not) for this season or next and the reasons why?

 

Thank you in advance.

SLH is not the football club it is the PLC that owns the FC. If the football club pays it's football related debt then there would be no need for the FA to be involved. In that case not only would there be no automatic points reduction there would be no case for further reductions next season as long as the FC doesn't go into administration.

 

We are past the deadline for an automatic reduction this season and any reduction would be applied next season, provided the club was relegated. If the club was not relegated the points would be deducted this season and if that relegated the club, that would happen.

Hi Derry

 

So am I right in thinking that provided someone buys the football club from SLH ie owns it complete with all of it's costs/debt that are not associated with SLH then no points deductions apply either this season or next? What I don't get is if SLH are in administration how can they (not the administrator) agree such an advantageous deal?
