Did they not change the rules too after Leicester exploited them to write off all debt (without points deductions? - or timing of deductions changing??)
Yeah...doing more reading, seems the "application" triggers the penalty.... but the "charge" in the agreement with MSD (whoever they are) may well see change of ownership without a bidding process???????
Think with ours, Higgs/Council said - we'll put you in admin (not sure how!?).... but (whatever part it was) club said, no we'll do it ourselves, appointed own admins who sold it back to SISU under a different company name, minus the "debt" ???
....it would be pre-admin... so nothing EFL could do.... but would obviously still have original charges still hanging over them.... the apparent 9pts...
Didn't we do it as part OF the admin.... basically appointed our own admins who sold us back to a differently named sisu derivative. SBS+L to Otium entertainment....
The Derby one looks like (although seems complicated) it triggers a forced change but no admin... although looks like that MSD...
Page 11/12 I think - some possible dodgy transfer of company to avoid admin....

There's talk on their forum that the "application" for administration triggers a clause related to a company, MSD (or something- related to stadium ownership) meaning that they automatically take over the club and administration may be avoided....
Sounds very dodgy and contrived.....
JS liked their new away kit tweet earlier in the week.....
Although maybe he was just bored waiting for ours to emerge from the freighter stuck in the suez canal...
