Most have gone already, Pilkington, mcnulty, Dickinson, Dicker etc, thats why they have plummeted. |

their points deduction applies this season.  they can't go down this year cos of their goal difference, so they'll start next season with no disadvantage? |

Doesn't the football league work on the basis of "the most severe penalty" for clubs in this situation? If they can't get relegated (even with point deduction) then the next severe penalty is to hold back on the deduction until next season. As has happened with southampton - but they could be relegated without points, so similarly the next best punishment is deduction next campaign. I'l find it very bemusing if the points deduction takes place this season - what would be the point. |

"Stockport County have entered administration after failing to keep their creditors at bay. The club will be docked 10 points by the FA - a penalty that will be applied at the end of this season if it will relegate them or, more likely, at the beginning of next season if they remain in League One."
From The Guardian

if this is the case it's an absolute disgrace. I don't wish ill on any club, but to be docked 10 points this season creates a mockery of the FA's own rules. How is this punishment? They'll start next season on the same points as the rest of us and will avoid releagtion, with their debt managed.
Absolute farce.

If that's true then it is.
But it's not, they are just toeing the official line as mathematically they aren't down. |

For some clarification i've had a look at the FL Website for a statement about Stockport County. http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/News/LeagueOneNewsDetail/0,,10794~1644278,00.htmlThere is a contact address at the FL and i'd suggest that we email them to make our feelings known about the double standards.I expect we'll get a standard reply,stressing that it's at the FL's "discretion". Contact address.. fl@football-league.co.uk |

I wondered why Stockport raised theri game on Friday to do us a favour and beat Crewe, having been shite for a while. They really would have been in it, with 47 now.
