I think the failure to fulfil fixtures will result in a 3 point deduction, applied to this season's table.

The -12 will definitely be due to be applied next season.

Sky Sports News just suggested an additional 6 points next season

Sky Sport News is supposedly a News show, according to the name, but about 20 minutes of each rolling hour is just retards reading tweets out off a screen.

All news is like that now as is most journalism. Its a fucking joke. By being forced to boil your opinion down to 140 characters it just leads to extremism at both end of the spectrum. 

You can boil my opinion down to this... "everyone on twitter is a twat"

Good point that malc

The offence was in season 18 19

Really cannot be arsed skimming over the last few weeks. All I want to know is will the Rod Stewart gig still go ahead?

Oh, and the rugby league games.

Whilst I would expect several potential bidders to surface now we are in administration  

It will be  interesting to see how Howards predicted scenario ( above ) plays out tomorrow 

Isn’t it already incorrect since Fildraw triggered the admin?

I hope you are right but I can't see the EFL going for anything other than another large points deduction for failing to fulfil a fixture.  They can't have a situation where a precident is set for a club to go unpunished for this, they open themselves up for clubs choosing not to play fixtures in future and taking the 1-0 defeat, undermines the integrity of the competition. This is what fucks me off most about the players strike, two lousy games, would have kept them in the shop window and avoid a catastrophic points deduction for us next season. Cunts to a mon who refused to play. 

Hopefully they say it's 0 if you go into admin. So other teams can't just do it without punishment. 

Fuck the point deduction. Get some postivity now around the club & we can finally start moving forward. I’ve been a miserable bastard about it all but finally believe we’re moving in the direction even if we do go down again we will be back!

Both were in a certain amount of doubt from what I can gather but going in to admin should now make it a pretty straightforward process given existing ticket sales should be enough to cover the bill or reinstating the safety certificate and the like. 

Who is going to get the stadium ready

C'mon, don't dash my hopes

Contractors (paid for by the promotors) will do the vast majority of the set up for the concert. Can’t imagine ground staff being made redundant unless it’s more prudent to pay an outside company which is what Wigan do these days, I believe. 

When do the new ticket prices come out? When we get a buyer, or before then , to give a new owner a clue as to the potential amount of incoming.

Both  Fildraw & Moonshift are controlled by ED Trustees , I would have thought Howards scenario would be equally applicable to either ?

Afterall ED Trustees made the decision to put us into Administration - and If you take Howard at his word and he is correct - something should happen tomorrow 

" Moonshift will require a watertight agreement with a buyer to put in to administration. That buyer will have to have done DD and be ready to acquire within 24 hours of administration. Without a guaranteed buyer there will not be an administration."

Maybe Howard can update us ?

Isn’t there a 21 day period where potential buyers have a chance to express interest. The 24 hour option was only if moonshift took back the shares and regained ownership of the club.

Iles did a sort of blog with four of the ST board earlier this evening - a complete waste of an hour for me as they didn't say much than what we've already known but one thing they did say was that they've already spoke to the Administrator.

They certainly didn't imply that any news would be breaking about a new owner anytime soon, so they left me with the impression that they didn't know anything about coming out of Admin in the next 24 hours and presumed they were still working to the 21 day period of marketing the club for sale.  Indeed they made mention of their 'high net worth's' a couple of times and how they are all flocking back to the ST now the club as gone into Admin.

I'd like to believe Howards prediction but really can't see the point of them having a brew and a chat with that nice Mr Iles if they (and he) suspected everything would change again tomorrow with a new owner of the club and us being out of Admin.

Fingers crossed I'm wrong though!

Iles blog with the ST (I can't recommend that it is worth the read) -

To be honest I genuinely dont know , which is why I was hoping Howard would update us , as to whether as Boothy mentioned the fact that Fildraw triggered administration and not Moonshift is significant in its own right 

Until we we went to Court last week I dont remember reading anything about Fildraw within the 600 plus pages of this thread and know absolutely nothing about it as a legal entity other than the fact that it is part of EDs trust. 

So you might be correct , but as Howard was spot on about the Notice to Put us into administration , ( I reckon he is very close to Keir Gordon at CRS ) I would not just dismiss it out of hand. 

Personally I do hope he is wrong , for no other reason than the 3 week period you refer to will bring more prospective purchasers to the table 

A final thought - there was much debate that if Moonshift triggers admin then Ken walks away with £5 million - could that be why Fildraw have triggered it ?
