without any punishments clubs whose owners want to get out would use the virus situation as their get out clause. there are far more owners that are not trustworthy than there is andy holts.

Re: Coronovirus

Reports coming out of Wigan this morning saying administrator,s only going to pay 20% of players wages this month, worst obviously than expected players in these circumstances can choose to exit their contracts and leave.

Not at all, before Leicester went into administration 26 other clubs did. none were deducted points as there was no rule.

The rule only came in at the end of 2004 and all clubs going into administration have been deducted points, even when they tried to fiddle it by saying it is a holding company and not the club.

Bradford been in admin 3 times before the rules from the 1980s onwards and not punished.

I believe it was slightly earlier than that as unless i.m wrong Carlisle were the first club to suffer the consequences of the new rules.

But Leicester is a pretty unique and extreme case where due to the timing they effectively put the whole cost of building their new stadium into the administration meaning they paid only about a tenth of what it actually cost.

Then about 5 years later evidence backing this up came to light and the former directors one of the construction companies that went bust due to what happened threatened to sue them and they agreed to settle out of court

Re: Coronovirus

Looking likely that the casino owning sharp suits that purchased Wigan and fooled the EFL played the stock market and walked away with a fortune. According to the administration team at Wigan saying the case is unusual and there is an empty pot left.

Re: Coronovirus

Very true andy I'm afraid there could be some long established football clubs struggle to keep afloat under the present circumstances

think these teams below the national leagues north and south will be the ones that will suffer in the end. lots of them rely on the club house being open and renting this off for events. no millionaire foreign owner and run by volunteers. mind you i doubt we will hear about it unless they still have a local paper in their area. these clubs may only have a couple of hundred fans on a good day but are more important to their community than some pointless text from a premier league player thats would be back page headline news.

Re: Coronovirus

I see Darragh MacAnthony of Peterborough having a whinge about the twice weekly cost of testing to his 15 players/staff back in work same person only last week saying he was keen to get back playing but the usual dissenting voices were keen to keep hibernateing until crowds back. You can bet we were one of those but he needs to make his mind up or has he got his sums wrong.

Re: Coronovirus

Another government briefing today on the next steps on things opening interesting that outdoor theatres allowed to open with distancing measures in place in the audience, no mention for football etc:- yet but if the EFL voting for start of season which I think is next week gets a yes vote it's looking like September 12th it will surely be reduced crowds with strict guidelines.
