I think they'll be alright, I know for a fact that they've already approached a firm to act as administrators, they'll just have to get the administration in place prior to March 12th and the winding-up order will become void.

God knows how we staved off a winding up petition for so long. But I'm guessing somebody has sore knees.

I was thinking the same considering how long our shambles dragged on for.  We have been extremely lucky.

Perhaps it's a more than a little naive for me to think it, but someone always seems to come out of the woodwork and save clubs on the brink (us, Coventry, Wrexham etc). They'll be fine.

Just hope that Bournemouth can come through this seems as if HMRC are just wanting to use someone to batter league clubs

With football as it is, you wonder if one goes how long it will be before a whole load of them go under.

Come on Redknapp, get your hand out of your pocket.

Teams like Bournemouth don't deserve this.
Only the Franchise cunts do.....and maybe Oxford!

that'll be ten points- leaves them bottom.

I found this little snippet:

Quote
The Football League has closed the loophole that allowed Leeds to go into administration without suffering a 10-point deduction for next season.

From next season any club going into administration after the fourth Thursday in March will have their 10-point deduction suspended.

If the club is relegated the points will be deducted from their tally at the start of next season.

If the club stays up the 10 points will be taken off their final total.

The club would then go down if the 10-point deduction subsequently resulted in it slipping into a relegation place.


http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/6736997.stm

Makes perfect sense really, and it appears not to come into effect until next season, so Bournemouth will not be affected by it.
