This sheds some light on the situation. Seems they didn't do a full check and have no contingency to pay the Revenue before the winding-up order. League rules relate to a club going into a CVA during the course of the normal playing season (stupid, what if they are in the play offs?) but the meeting is the day before the cut off. They seem to be relying on the appeal taking it beyond that date, which is plain wrong. It shows they are using the rules to gain an advantage. I guess the 5th is being used to try and ensure an agreement is sorted before the end of the week (Sat not being a working day) and in time for to stave off the winding-up order.

Brings into play the prospect of the Revenue using them as an example still though.

It's clear from their own statements that they are using the league rules and bending them to their advantage. Surely any penalty, even if appealed should still be applied to the original date?

Quote from: "RobertT"
The point about the season it counts is the real issue I think.  Surely when the play offs are still to be played the season isn't over.  I'd prefer it if they didn't have to go into a CVA, but if they do then it suggests the rules are a bit squiffy.


I think it should kick in anytime before the start of the new season as past transactions directly affect past performance.

That said I still think we don't deserve to stay up unless we merit it.

Ahem!

Has everybody forgotten that we are subject to a CVA ourselves. By the arguments of some of you surely we should lose 10 points. After all that sneaky agreeing the CVA before the new rule came into effect is just using a loophole isn't it?

From what i have read and i agree with the other members of the forum that rotherham looks to have blatantly bent the rules in there favour so not to be penalised. didnt wrexham do the same but got clobbered a few seasons ago Huh?

on sky sports looks like rotherham will be starting the new season with -10 points
