£2.50 & a bit of fluff from down the back of the couch 😁.... £3m I think

So the minimum required will be the same so that creditors get there 25p in the pound, plus they need to show funds for 2 years must be 6 million required with no prospect of getting a return and crowds not coming back anytime soon,  not looking good for them.

It really is an entertaining story, lurching from one disaster to another.

just wish they would stop winning every so often, so get relegated by a landslide (or would last day be funnier, or even finish safe and get a further point deduction to be relegated)

You have to feel for Bury, Macclesfield in all this, they weren't afforded the same amount of time to get sorted, stinks to high heaven that the EFL are bending over backwards for these fuckers.

I think the difference is they weren't paying their players.

On a related note, I see Burnley's new owner has been interviewed today. He seems a bit of a character, promising a "unique" approach and going on to say:

"I don't think you've ever seen anyone like me"

"We are not going to do stupid stuff. We may say silly things that people take issue with but we are going to act differently and we are going to show that in the things we do."

His takeover is funded by loans from Michael Dell's MSD UK Holdings apparently. It's early days, but it sounds like it could be the kind of thing that quite quickly goes tits up.

Anyone who says they are a bit different are usually just cunts.

The fella has moved to the UK from America to be more hands on.

Might be good, might be bad.

Will be in a similar position to us now where I think their new Shazza will accept relegation and take the penalty of probable relegation.

A Bolton fella saving Wigan? Oh the irony. Should be scope for a few piss take songs next time we meet.

Mr Frampton is indeed back - no doubt with his sliding roof and the promise of European Football ...

It'd be the first thing he did stop.. Except pens obviously. 

[Spider]

That £3 million they need to sell for to avoid a 15pt deduction is looking very unlikely now

So, sell for £1.5mill, basically get relegated and in all probability free fall through the pyramid.

Pinch me

[Ani]

The ideal would be having to sell players to keep em going and then get relegated. Follow that with admin and 15 point deduction next season plus 4 windows of transfer embargoes.

Started off with a coat hanger and a turd 😏

Aye, I'm curious as to whether he did actually order one though?

Maybe pissed up Internet shopping?

If genuine, I'm intrigued as to what it is- snakes are ace.
