Just read that there is a Top' league 2 club who have stated that due to the finances of finishing the season behind closed doors, they would 'have to go into administration immediately' should this option be announced.
Meeting today may reveal more, but worrying times. Any ideas ??, must be several clubs in the frame.

I too would guess at Bradford City, or possibly Oldham.

Mansfield and Salford both want the season to end now - but to void it entirely.
I’d imagine both have a large payroll.
There is absolutely no way any more games are going to be played to finish off this present season

The more I think about this the more I think its Oldham, they had an Administration application adjourned in the Administrative Court in Manchester until 21 April at the request of both parties.

I am leaning towards your synopsis, too. I cannot see any games in any circumstances being played before the end of May. June possibly though how that looks is anyone’s guess. If that did happen then season 20/21 could start in September sometime? |

I take it we don’t have a CEO
""I'm beginning to think it's unlikely that we will finish this season, but that's a personal view," Cambridge United chief executive In Mather told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"I've spoken to a chief executive from a club that's at the top and he said that they'd be prepared for the season to be scrapped, even if it takes away a chance of promotion.‘

Steve Anderson. Not sure if that's his actual title, but he performs that function |

Oops.
Tbf, it wasn’t that long ago when some were wondering where Power gets his money from. If it’s only STFC I can see why he’d want it sorted soonest.

Ex Premier league. Top as in "bigger club" rather than position in the table. |

His finances are not Swindon Town dependant by any means, he has a lot of fingers in a lot of pies despite what some fans my try and tell us. |

May be. But I haven’t got a clue what his other business interests are.

I don't think finding out his investments would be too difficult for those that wish to, I think its a bit "going looking for misdealings" rather than actual STFC concerns behind this. Power is involved in a lot of building, sport and business ventures all around the world and TBH I don't really think its any of our business what his business is. But that just my opinion. |
