Incase you didn't hear, every top-dog in the Football League all met-up last week to discuss potential plans for the future season ahead (new rules, laws, regulations and that).
One-idea that came up was to dock-points from clubs who go into Administration.... How the heck does that work?!?
Punishing a club for doing something it cannot easily stop or control...
How can that be right?!
With the increase in the number of clubs hit by the growing money-crisis, we'd surely be heading towards some kind of huge 'Relegation Scrap' involving almost half of each division... And just imagine how bad it would be for Third Division clubs - just like Bristol Rovers (;D ) - who couldn't get the results, nor, therefore, the money.
Liquidation could be looming for many, if this idea is put into place!
It's not like selling players would be an easy option either - not with all-other clubs around you struggling for money, also.
West Ham United - who had a few problems last season - are gonna find a few problems with the millions they're going to not-have from dropping-out of the Premiership - especially if they begin to lose points under this new rule (which I don't believe has been 'passed' yet) for falling into Administration.

Why not?
Why not?
Looks like Oldham won't be playing at all next season.
They're mucking up the Pyramid. The plans to create a Nationwide Conference Division (Conference Premier and Conference Division 1) will mess it up for a lot of clubs; Ashford Town being one of them. I really hope they shoot the people who come up with the ideas in the foot.

I don't like what the football league are doing at all. They are just going to make things worse by doing this crazy stuff.
Also don't like the idea of them making more teams in the play-offs.

To avoid bankrupty, Bristol Rovers have been selling shares to the fans.
I think it's a crap idea but about 3000 fans don't and their money brought us Andy Rammell who kept us up with his goals.
Punishment is harsh depending on the situation
If they can't help it, why dock them points?
Aern't City losing money yet? The amount of times they fail to win the playoffs ;)
