macy37 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 A lot of suggestions on SM that they'll be 'demoted' to the bottom league. How incredibly amusing that would be but somehow I think money might talk to ensure that doesn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoofitharder Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Leeds United and Luton Town got a 15 point deduction for financial irregularities. I think boston united were demoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'd settle for an 8-point deduction on condition it's applied immediately, although I might want to increase it depending on how our last couple of games go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went into admin on the day they got relegated so the 10-pointer didn't matter, but then got an extra hit (maybe for other irregularities, I forget exactly) so they started on -15 in League 1. I think they still ended up in the play-offs that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheres the pies Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Shows you how far Bournemouth have come back in 2008 they entered into administration and started in league 2 on minus 17 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they still ended up in the play-offs that year. Yes I think you're right I am sure they went into administration during a game when they realised they were going down but got hit with the 15. The rules have changed now it carries over to the following season if you get relegated .if whu and nufc are guilty they should throw the book at them. I can understand clubs going into administration because of mismanagement or chasing the dream but to fiddle the books to save paying a bit of tax they should put them in the conference at least then Leyton Orient and Gateshead will get a big derby match Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
