Yes, I am indeed unaware of that!
Reading the rules concerning points deduction that someone kindly posted on another thread, it seemed to state that if administration was entered into before the third (or fourth) Thursday in March, then the points would be deducted in the current season. Nowhere did it state that the Football League had the power to arbitrarily decide in which season the points would be deducted.
the rules for going into admin are quite clear, it has to happen before March 28th or the -10 is applied next season. the grey area is with points deductions (i believe -15) for coming out of admin without a CVA. However in practical terms you can't start 2 seasons in admin, you lose your golden share, so we would have to come out of administration some time before the end of next season. on the face of it then if we go into admin after March 28th and SISU refuse to agree to a CVA we are looking at -25 next season. Looking at the table at the moment that would put us bottom before you even consider that if we're in admin for any length of time we're likely to lose many of our better players.
no totally different to this season and I think Dave makes a very good point regards the fact that the potential defecit points we could be on would now see us bottom of the leagueSimilar to the start this season then?
Great fan you are
You mindlessly follow them !
Their taking the pis s and your money is wasted.
This avoidable admin is the final straw

Leeds United filed for administration with only a few days remaining in the 2006–07 season, which automatically triggered a 10 point penalty. This placed Leeds at the bottom of the table and relegated the club, but they were extremely likely to have been relegated anyway. By entering administration during the 2006–07 season, they hoped to avoid starting the 2007–08 season on −10 points. The Football League saw this as a club trying to exploit a loophole and changed the rules. From 2007–08, any club entering administration after the fourth Thursday in March would have their 10 point deduction suspended until the following season. Similarly, if a club were relegated the deduction was also to be suspended until the start of the following season.
Yep, i do mindlessly follow them. That's because i love supporting them. If he's "got better things to do" then dont buy a season ticket and don't come again. Go b&q and tesco with the missus and have fun. Prat
You can see where this is going, particularly with the Court hearing timing.
'IF' we are not in the playoffs before this date then SISU will allow club to go into admin and take the 10 points hit this season.
The 'Good News'is that SISU have then accepted that any money they have put in is lost and the club is now worth what its worth with no increased expectations on value to claw some of this loss back. (Hoffman £1 ?)
Any potential buyer will get a club at its knock down value. Hopefully at that point that buyer will also buy the stadium, car parks etc at its now knock down 'unused' value.
The bad news is that if we don't sort it out before then, SISU will drag it out into next year. 10 point deduction next season and SISU farce continues.
Question : Is Admin best this Month ? and are ACL doing the right thing ?
I just wish it would be sorted so I can get back to just reading the forum banter and stop wasting my time writing (guessing) what could happen.
I dont think any of us will really know if its the right thing until the dust has settle, but for me I am sick and tired of the mess hanging over us all the time.
We have been in a mess on & off the pitch for years & I just hope we have a football club playing in Coventry once this has been dealy with
We started with a potential 15 point destruction this season.
SISU sacked the manager after 3 points then it took 5 straight defeats before the ship was steadied, so ten next season is a walk in the park.
Not with a new squad. The 'better' players will not be here as we won't be able to afford them. We will then have to live on our takings under fair play rules. Any high rents paid will reduce this further. Other income streams (available to other clubs) like car parking, stadium sponsorship, catering etc etc will not be available to us.
Its worse for those like myself who were there in the 60's when they got promoted from the then second division under Jimmy Hill. A dabble in Europe, the FA cup and watching then on match of the day every week. Sigh
Well yep. From what I have read, not saying it is true, but they are saying 10 points off this season.
If points are to come off then this season would be ideal, not that any deduction is a blessing of course. But if they are coming off anyway, this is the season it needs to be.
Are you sure mate ?
That ACL statement suggests that we will.
''We are, of course, well aware that under the current Football League regulations, CCFC will face a points deduction and we will do everything we can to ensure that the case is heard by the High Court before the end of the current season. While this opens up the possibility of a ten point deduction this season, the Board believes this is better than leaving CCFC facing a much larger deduction at the start of next season."
To me not picking up points at the start of the season is a whole lot different to starting on -25. Fair enough we've always sold players but the potential in admin is a firesale and we're talking a lot of players leaving with the exception of those who are being overpaid and are under contract as they may refuse to move. Whilst in admin we will be under an embargo and can't sign anyone and even once we come out of it I can't imagine any players who have an option to go anywhere else are going to pick a club paying low wages (assuming any new owner will be trying to break even leading to a huge cut it the wage budget) and starting on -25.
Minus 25 points?
This surely is an absolutely worst case scenario. Has this actually ever happened to a club yet????
Why are you still here?You`re going the same way as Portsmouth, Luton, Bournemouth etc, badly run, badly managed, over inflated wages over the years etc believing you still eat at the top table, pathetic!

No delusions or pretensions at Crewe, soundly run, soundly managed, 4 managers only in 30 years, own ground, admit it needs improving still but we`re ok and have never or will pay over the top wages for anyone, thats the way football should be now! compromise or go out of business!
