There must be something up with the Football League if they don't get a 30 point deduction, because what the football league is generally saying is that it's ok to go into admin as many times as you want.
I feel sorry for the Pompey fans because they are a good bunch, but the best thing they can d is get a fan group to buy the club out, instead of this crap.
I'm a Sheff Wed fan and it's just a joke to see all this happen, I remember the Crystal Palace story too well.
IMO the football league are helping this happen tho. it is not in their benefit to have the income stream of their biggest asset reduce. It is in their interest for clubs that are in trouble to get an easy out, which is what the admin route is. Which club was it that were going to file for admin at half time in their last game of the season when they were losing 2-0 at half time because they were to be relegated and thought they would get the ten point penalty that season instead of carrying it over to the next?
It is now used as a wipe the slate clean and lets start again, then running their business the same way.
Scudamore at the Prem lge is the best example of how pathetic the rulers are. Only ever talks about the money that the Prem makes and ignores the fact that most clubs in it, and a lot of them that drop out are on their arse most of the time, yet still finding huge amounts in wages to players.
His job spec is to raise the money in the game, not run the game.
Don't get me started on what they have done to the Champions league and UEFA Cup, If anyone needs an example of running the game for money other than achievement then take a look at how many fixtures they have managed to get into those competitions. The cash that these fixtures now generate is actually making the difference between good vibrant leagues in some countries and the lop sided financially imbalanced leagues that most of them currently are.
I agree - football authorities are a joke. It will continue until the penalties are much more severe.
