If this were the case where would we be now? Non league probably if we even still existed.
I don't like the idea of finances dictating league positions.
I'd rather stricter regulations were put in place forcing the clubs over spending to cut their budget and have a strict regulated salary cap proportional to their profit. So they can't over spend and pay their debts off with the rest. Then harsh punishments for breaking this.
If teams going into admin were relegated you'd get so many phantom promotions. We'd be Premier League in no time.

I think if they were to announce that this will be enforced in 5 years time then it will give clubs the chance to get their house in order without the immediate threat of being relegated.

Such as what? Despite starting the sentence "I'd rather..." you haven't actually proposed an alternative. In Germany, clubs that can't prove they're solvent aren't even allowed to start the season. Now that's harsh |

Most clubs don't make a profit. If you meant to say revenue it'd have to be retrospective, by which time it'd be too late anyway. Then factor in the delay between a season finishing and clubs publishing accounts and it would be meaningless. |

Relegation sounds fair to me. Any club that has enough points to survive a 10 point reduction has spent money they didnt have on a decent squad for the division they are in. Not being relegated is unfair on those that spent within their means.
I'm not so sure about arbitary salary caps as % of turnover, there are too many ways round it for it to have any meaningful consequences.

The salary cap wouldn't make clubs profitable in most cases.

I think that stricter salary caps should be introduced.
It's the fans who suffer because of points deductions and relegations due to administration

As proved by Notts County last season. |

That is spot on. |

If the board pulled out today we would probably go into administration again.
No thanks.

We probably wouldn't be allowed to go into admin again, so we would be liquidated instead. |
