Weren't Bournemouth taken over by a trust a few years ago?

Far too many clubs are getting into a mess at the moment; Coventry are about to go into admin as well.

And Cardiff as well. The list just gets bigger.

Very sad to see. Luton are in the shit, looks like Coventry and Bournemouth are as well.

The mad thing is that the rich are getting much richer whilst the poor suffer.

Mansfield too are in the process of a lengthy takeover which may collapse.

Let's be honest, in a few years time there will probably only be about 3 pro divisions in England.

We are the only country  in Europe i'm sure to have 4 pro divisions, and i agree with you; that's exactly the way it will go, maybe even 2 pro leagues and the rest part-time.

Exactly, the FA have fucked over the grass roots game of England for far too long.

its getting to the point where it would be well worth going into administration for other clubs - we're fucked, luton and bournemouth will get -10, that only leaves one relegation place up for grabs - all the clubs might as well go into administration

You do realise that with a 10 point deduction we'd only be 6 points behind 20th, with a game in hand and half a season to catch it up?

Hardly guaranteed relegation is it

well, i sort of meant if we vanish from existence, but yes you are right.  i'm sure there are plenty of other clubs that could be close to administration, and if all the relegation places were basically already taken then i think plenty of clubs higher up the table would choose to write off their debts knowing that they are pretty safe from going down.  it would be chaos

loads of conference clubs have ploughed cash into going pro, they'd be fucked.

the conference clubs are much better run than football league clubs though.

what the conference is now will become league 1 in a few years and the 'traditional' sides in the lower football league sides will drop into non-league
