Administration and deduction of points

Reading through the state of affairs at Bolton FC and Birmingham City FC both clubs are threatened with a 12 point deduction and the likelihood of relegation due to their current financial situation.

In the last ten plus years I can only recall Leeds United being penalised with a points deduction ( but I'm certain there will be other clubs in the lower division who have suffered a similar fate)

So out of curiousity can anyone confirm at what point do the club ACTUALLY get hit with the points deduction?

Several clubs have been rumoured to suffer the consequences of not keeping their house in order but as of yet I've not really seen it in force.

Let’s not drag this forum into the mess that is the political shenanigans around Israel, Communism, and Boris Johnson’s inexplicable ability to somehow persuade women to overrule their own eyes.

It’s Vidal’s’ birthday, ffs, so let’s all remember that one article he did that was any good, way back in the days of BBC 606, and move more toward those sentiments than the venomous ones currently on display here.

IFI didn't detect a bit of vitriolic venom in there I heartily support 666 in his sentiments above. I did say IF above.

I made up my mind not to discuss politics on this site and I seem to be failing. But Spart can you please remind me where in the world Corbyn/McDonnell style policies have been successful? Borrowing five hundred billion pounds would ruin all of us, not to mention putting Red Len in charge.

Whereas neo-liberal policies will only ruin the majority of us but let the 1% live a life of luxury.

While also continuing to borrow massively while foisting austerity on those who aren't responsible for the mess that we're in - the working poor.

Happiest nations in the world don't follow a neo liberal economic policy with conservative social policy which is what the Tory right want. Boris wouldn't turn us in to a new Venezuela but a new Argentina. Argentina hasn't had to battle against US attempts to undemine its economy and has followed the neo liberal Rees Mogg model and is still a basket case. Just like we will be if fatso Johnson ever takes charge.

Lots of Jewish MPs know that it this is just a smear campaign. It is only the Zionists who are running it encouraged by Netanyahu. Thousands of Jews are anti Zionist but they aren't accused of being anti-Semitic. Churchill was a Zionist and an anti-Semite. You read too much crap in the Tory press to have a sensible view of the world.

I would rather live in Britain with the present government that Argentina or Venezuala. As for my view of the world........I just have to look at the commie countries to make up my mind.

By the way 666 doesn't want us to discuss politics, so I'm stopping now..............I think

My other half is from Argentina so I speak with some knowledge about it, but it's worth saying that the situation there is hugely complex and a variety of different factors are at play, many of which are legacies from the former dictatorship and certainly the previous government, who are trying to bring down this government.

The problem with most governments is that the people who really "pull the strings" lurk in the shadows, unknown to the population at large.

We could all do with a lesson in the Dark Arts.

Back to original subject. Bolton have secured extra finance to put off administration but unless they reduce their debt somehow by either reducing costs or increasing revenue it is only delaying the inevitable.
