Clubs in trouble

[Macho Man Randy Savage]

What happened to the Puff Daddy buy out?

[TheSandman]

He thought it was a big fuck off mansion made out of glass.

He was rather disappointed when he found out it was a Second Division football team.

Palace are safe for now....

Very pleased... no club should have to fall like this...

I can see there ground from my bedroom window.

Great! That drive to Purley Way can be a real bugger at times.

Salisbury City have been chucked out of the Conference for not paying their tax bill and (subject to an appeal) will play in the Southern League.
The new Chester club meanwhile have been given a place in the North West Counties Premier League.

Chester are appealing against being placed in the North West Counties League

I saw that but I can't see why. They are a brand new club and in my opinion are lucky to be placed at Step 5. If I was the FA I'd listen to the whinging sods and then inform them that they've had a change of heart and will be placing Chester FC in Division 2 of the Cheshire League alongside Grappenhall Sports and Barnton.

Man United. A big investigation by the Guardian/BBC into the troubled finances of the Glaziers. Basically, they currently can't afford to sell Man Utd as it's the only source of income for the family.

nope.

So long as Man U do not owe us anything itisn't too much of a problem for Villa, except it would be a blow to the prestioge of the PL if Man U went broke.  But it would present another opportunity for a place in the CL.

But one day, hopefully not soon Randy will selll Villa.  I see nothing going on at the FA to stop a leveraged buy out at Villa in the future.

Give it a couple of seasons or so and I suspect Man U will be where Liverpool are now, broke.

If Man United and Liverpool, two of their biggest names go tits up I'm sure it will act as a warning sign for them to introduce legislation to prevent it happening.

It would be a bit of a shame for their fans. The genuine ones that is. It is the only downside of it and it is far outweighed by the upsides summed up by pointing and laughing.

Sorry to piss on the parade, but there is no chance in hell that Liverpool or Man Utd will go tits up. If things really start heading towards that there would be a queue of oil barons willing to buy them up.

This.

Anybody who thinks the likes of Man U, Liverpool or Chelsea for that matter are going to go bust and disappear are living in a fantasy world where there is no Coca Cola, Starbucks, Mafia or Catholic Church. Barring some cataclysmic 2012-type doomsday event, they will always be around and they will always be more powerful than we are. A horrible truth.
