now i,m not the sharpest tool in the box, so i dont understand the finer points of clubs going into administartion.
but surely given clubs penalty points is only worsening the situation, you dock points, its quite likely that team will drop further down the leagues, players wont want to play for you, gates will drop, even less income is coming into the club.
i,d have thought it would be better to do all in the fa.s power to stop the club slipping further into trouble, the more stable the club is, the higher in the league they may get, attracting better players, getting better gates, more income, pay off ya debts, bobs ya uncle.
but like i say i dont understand the finer points

It basically means we are so fucking unorganised that we could not relegate Luton earlier; hence, starting them at -30.


-10 was for going in to admin

-20, I think was for their illegal involvement in transfers; re: Mike Newell.

No finer points needed Trebor, basically you can almost do what you like in the Premiership, considering Rooney's been at Man U for what, three seasons, and they only got around to taking action against his agent now?

The extra 20 points is backside covering by the FA, since they cleared the previous crooked management in the first place, a little more scrutiny and they'd have been found out before the dodgy dealing happened.

Still, non-Prem clubs tend to dig in and bounce back from these things and I hope the same will happen with Luton.

The FA are pussies and cannot make a brave decision; they could not make a decision for Leeds, Luton or West Ham.

When they have to tackle the big-boys they have no chance. UEFA and the FA did not want Liverpool in the CL for 05/06 but had to accept that Liverpool will be playing in the CL.

Hey JT,

I'm playing FM, I've got Leeds playing some decent stuff.

(This game is NOT realistic!)

How are you finding 08, I did not like it?

I hope 09 is a lot better, especially as the PL will have 7 subs
