First club to do so since the pandemic hit.

Never nice to see but normally I don't have much empathy for clubs like Bolton when you see how they have been run. The counter is of course the fans who I really feel for.
So what's the answer;
Bail out from the Premiership or FA?
Not imposing points reductions due to extenuating circumstances?
Prem B teams?
Leave as is?
Personally I'd say no points reductions but leave as it.
Wigan go into administration:

Government interest free loan. It's not their fault the fans aren't allowed in stadium and of course it isn't the governments fault either but it's their responsibility to ensure companies don't go under and people keep their jobs. I wouldn't be issuing a points deduction either, if they can prove that they wouldn't have went into administration if they had the money from the gates.

Good shout.
Close the thread!
I'd have thought the relegated teams from the Prem will be having issues soon enough.

I think the relegated clubs from the PL should be OK considering the parachute payments, although they will likely be under more pressure to sell players they would have liked to keep.
