Old Man Andrews Their Facebook page is a delight. Think some of their supporters genuinely need welfare checks from the police.

Yeah another club screwed over by owners who are in it purely to line their pockets. They are doomed.

Even with there 12 point deuction they are likely to now be in the championship. Is this a first for a team going into administration getting a points deduction and still staying up?
I hope that someone does save them nobody wants another bury situation on there hands.

Is Dave Whelan likely to step in temporarily and save them??

He has a broken leg that he suffered in an FA Cup final. He cannot step anywhere.

Southampton started L1 with a 10 point deduction for admin in 2009/10 and finished 7th.

Wigan should stay up - you would expect them to beat Charlton at the weekend and Fulham may rest a few ahead of the play-offs next Weds - so will be amazed if they are not 12 or more points clear of the bottom 3 come the end of the season.

Will be good for them. I myself never ever want to see another bury situation but I get the feeling it will become more common. Get the feeling this summer will be a bit of a fire sale for league 1 and 2 with them selling off there best players to survive another season. Especially if the fans aren’t in the stadiums next year.

Brentford already 1-0 up, Leeds and West Brom must be bricking it right now, West Brom more so since they're only a point ahead if Brentford win tonight.

Leeds has a 15pt deduction in League 1 and got to the playoff final IIRC. Pretty sure Bournemouth had a similar deduction In League 2 and survived.

Birmingham had a 9pt deduction last season.

Why are Leeds "bricking it" when they are at home to Barnsley tomorrow and a win all but sees them promoted? Leeds are by far the best side in the Championship, they are up and will be Champions. :roll:

I know you've got a hard on for Leeds but I did say West Brom would be more concerned.

I said nothing that isn't factually accurate. You will respect Leeds.

They are probably going to be promoted, but it would still be funny if they didn't.

I hope Leeds get promoted, will be great not having them in this division, even if it’s only for one season.

Fiorentina were deducted 15 points after Calciopoli and still managed to finish 6th. Of course it helped that a few other clubs had points deductions and Juventus had been relegated.

I can accept they have a very good team but respect? Never.

They benefited hugely from the covid break as would have run out of steam as per usual if the season had played out in March

Birmingham are dire. Pretty fortunate there isn’t another couple of additional games left or they’d be very worried

Well Hull and Luton are playing each other on Saturday so either they both get 1pt or one gets 3pts. Nervous times for Birmingham and Huddersfield.
