Mike Ashley perhaps? Kind of fits his model of buying at the bottom. They'll surely get relegated, but a new ownership group with the stadium intact and can't buy players but will sell many season tickets and it could suit them in L1. May come back stronger.

He was in for Derby when they encountered similar issues, but this was a few seasons back now. The most likely will be some local businessman leading a consortium, similar to how Derby eventually got out of trouble.

Yep they'll just want to get through it and start fresh in league one. I guess the small blessing is its not a transfer window otherwise they would be forced to sell up anyone and everyone for peanuts wouldn't they? Not that there's much left i must admit but there's the bones of a half decent league one team at least.

Darren Moore did bloody well getting them up from there in the first place with a much better set of players than they have currently, but this is all just temporary until the money starts flowing into the club again. As above, they'll probably end up like Derby in the hands of a less wealthy but also more sensible minded owner.

In administration but they can fund removing seats? Seems ridiculous

Sad what has happened to the club. Huge task to stay up and get new owners.

Surely this is the platform for Leicesters point deduction…what’s taking them so long?
Click to expand...
The longer they leave it the better. There's a good chance that's why there's no rush. If they finish below 6th but well above the bottom 3 it wouldn't make any difference to them. Then it would be carried over to next season. But if it knocked them out of the playoffs then just hit them with it.

They're doomed. With Charlton's good start hopefully Blues and Wrexham fill the other two spots

Is that SAG like ours? If they are they'll probably say the seats haven't been professionally fitted and are no longer safe. Cancel tomorrows game.

I think it's fair to say based on the last 40 years that any safety group at Hillsborough take a fairly relaxed attitude towards the attendees well being!

Good look to them and the fans especially, short term pain for long term gain.

If liquidated during the season, yes.

Assuming that it's just a regular administration then they'll be docked points.

But it won't affect our Invincibles status, so don't go cancelling your T-shirt orders with @rob9872 just yet.
