Clubs in trouble

[Lucky Eddie]

I can't see them winding up but a god chance of administration, looks like fat harry jumped ship at the right time just like southampton,at least mon has been a success a d left behind a solid club when he's left others unlike the redknapp chap!

One thing he does have though on
most managers is probAbly the hottest daughter in law , can't deny him that honour!

She gonna become available soon when Redknap jr turns into his old man!

Bournemouth and West Ham also ran into problems after the benefit of his management, here's hoping with Spurs.

[Dave Cooper please]

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere and I did look but couldn't find it but we will lose 3 points if Pompey are wound up.  Spurs would also lose 3 and Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea all lose 6.  Liverpool due to their inept performance at Fratton park stand to gain the most as they would lose nothing putting them in line for 3rd never mind 4th.

Always the ssame, when a club goes bust and their record is expunged the teams that gain the most are those who were too shit to beat them!

Same with Tamworth, if (when) Chester go under we lose six points and drop four places. Luton close to within a couple of points of Stevenage at the top.

The Premier League hierarchy won't want the embarrassment of one of their number going into administration/liquidation.

I expect that by hook or by crook, or by advancing TV monies due, etc, Pompey will get through this season, be relegated, go into administration on 1st June and start next season in The Championship with whatever punitive points deduction that The Football League have in place.

There's talk of advancing their parachute payment (£11m) to see them through the season. The other 19 clubs have to agree.

Clicky

I read somewhere earlier that if Pompey going into administration they will be deducted 9 points, whereas teams in the Fizzy Pop leagues get deducted 10.

It's a minor point I know, but strange all the same.

[stevo_st]

I think it has something to do with the ratio of overall games they play.
ie.
24 teams = 46 games
20 teams = 38 games

[Karlos96]

If they go into administration they will lose 9 points the following season when they are in the Championship they will lose another load of points (think it is 15) for how they come out of administration.

[enigma]

They could do with drawing this game and getting a moneyspinning replay.

reading into the Notts County saga shows just how much more football has to do to check owners

He claims he was hoodwinked by father and son Nathan and Peter Willett and Russell King, the men who made up Munto, the "acquisition vehicle" formed to buy County.

Trembling says he has ploughed half a million of his own money into the club and feels "bitter" about the last six months.

The trio claimed they had links to the Bahrain royal family and gave a guarantee they would invest a minimum of £5m in the club but instead put in just £50,000, he insists.

they should have several tests

1) max level of debt any club can have, probably % of turnover, would not stop for example the Man city takeover as the owner turned his injection of cash into shares

2) any new owner to put in a substantial deposit showing their intent, if they promse no cash injections then a smaller deposit

3) no club to be held by offshore companies where they can not be fully investigated

4) any club late with submitted accounts to be deducted points.

5) a fans rep at board level to be voted for by the fans. The rep should be responsible for updating the fans on a regular occasion.

of course pie in the sky

A wage cap would help.

What's going to happen if the next round of TV bidding isn't quite so lucrative?

[curiousorange]

I know it's not very charitable but once this season's over and we have our points in the bag, I don't give a crap what happens to Pompey.

how would a wage cap help, those with larger revenues will be able to pay more

the key is the level of debt, if you have an owner prepared to put in large amounts and not load the debt on the club, no problem, the security of the club first.

What would happen if Roman stopped funding Chelsea today, they would soon be in administration

what would happen if Randy did the same to Villa, think we would be OK.
