Once again football fans suffer because of the idiocy and greed of businessmen.

I quite agree with the above, the powers that be at Darlo built a stadium thinking they were too good for league 2 - WRONG. They should have taken a leaf out of Wigan Athletics book and waited until they were promotion candidates for the championship and had a Rugby League or another team to ground share with, Rugby Union maybe. If I remember correctly, WAFC struggled for the first few years in the Football League but look at them now, challenging for Europe and still a selling team, buy them cheap and sell them on for a profit, Heskey being an exception.
Another point here, Yeah they should get a -25 point deduction for falling into admin during the season. Im sure thats part of the FA rules. as Nickelson as said, this is the second time they have gone into administration, surely that should be a 17 point at least deduction as with Bournemouth and Rotherham. Not that I wish that on them but once again a club is being allowed to stay in the league and get away with paying pennies in the pound, yet in '62 we resigned for being unable to pay our debts and that was accepted. Maybe these clubs should restart just like we had to all those years ago.
