A points deduction for administration will be deferred for a season if the club would have been relegated anyway. It closed a loophole that a couple of teams used in the past of going into admin after being mathematically relegated.

There's surely no way this team can get eleven points clear of the bottom four so if it were to come to pass then it would be next season. And possibly more for a second offence.

So eeee who saved uzzz could very well be responsible for getting us ejected from the football league and possibly worse.

No wonder webb bailed out too

Let’s not get carried away here. Going into Administration in the Championship, paying 87% of turnover as salaries, is one thing.

We’re averaging 9,000 and paying generally poor salaries to most of the squad and are somewhere in the region of 40-45% wages to turnover ratio, having turned an actual small profit last year.

Admin talk is a bit silly.

I'm finding it hard to comprehend we're even discussing the dreaded 'A' word - again!

Because it's more fun than backing the team they say they support.....negativity is easier to do than being positive for ATDers.

Generalisations like that only serve to weaken your argument, Zypher.

Alright, and like everything being discussed here, it's a big hypothetical 'if' cos who knows what the future brings but if that 'if' were to pass then the last seven years would be more than just a waste, they'd have ben the most pointless seasons in our entire history.

So keeping the 'ifs' going we might as well have gone under and started again at whatever level the FA dumped us because (another 'if' coming) I reckon we'd be a Fooball League team by now, stronger and more united than what we've got now.

Just a thought like.

happy halloween, perhaps we will know more then.

Not a completely wasted 7 years....a day out at Wembley was interesting......obviously not interesting enough for the team to turn up....but that's life.

Spot on. The other thing was when we went into admin we had no cash whatsover, I don't think thats a problem today, talk of admin is unhelpful

You've not been to Home Park in thirty five years, thats pretty negative.

Incorrect as usual....why should you change the habit of a life time.

Whether Zippy and the other gratefuls like it or not when you get a hole somewhere it gets filled up with shite. PAFC is like a huge hole with a FOOKIN great vacuum at the bottom of it at present. Bar small leaks from the grateful gaggers on the farm and a couple of webcams showing very little progress on a supposedly £6.5m project the silence is deafening. Project after project has stalled the board has been shuffled then at the last minute shuffled again yet still feck all happens. With the fag packet accounts how do we know that Brent hasn't managed to rack up debts to the tune of £10m in his seven year tenure with feck all accounts to prove or disprove it?
Admin talk may well cause the club to break its ridiculous silence of the last few years have they never heard of leaks?
I am convinced there are huge cans of wriggling worms in the board room being opened as we speak, admin may be fanciful but someone has a cheesy helmet I can smell it from here.

Really according to your leader on Nooloti its True, unless you think the Chubby Cornishman would lie ?

Agree.

Have a word with yourselves (not Czarcs and Hugh, obvs).

If we know anything reliable about the last few years it is that the FL slavishly enforces SCMP and that Brent had no will to find away around a strict interpretation of the rules.

On top of that we now that we have had unbudgeted income pour in from all directions.

We know we are competing mostly against teams with far smaller crowds than we get whereas in the CCC we were competing with clubs who got far bigger crowds.

There is absolutely nothing to suggest that we are heading for another administration.

If we are then Brent, or somebody else, must have been rinsing very big sums of money out of the club on a basically criminal and industrial scale. Now while that is obviously possible I'd like to think it is beyond highly unlikely and if true Brent will be remembered as the biggest cowboy and/or criminal ever to be associated with the club. Bar none.

I just can't see it.

One things fore shore, if ever there was another threat of something untoward happening, Tony Wrathall wouldn't be the one to step down for personal reasons. His desire to remain in a director's box is only superseded by one person.
Clearly there is something that Felwick doesn't fancy, and I guess the worst  will be clearing up the undoubted mess of Brent's selfish hybrid planning ruse that Felwick didn't approve of. Who wants that sort of hassle in your retirement. One other possibility is Felwick doesn't approve of Hallett's solutions either.

A would be chairman bailing at the last minute tells me something at the Brentihad is very wrong, the club could well be for whatever reason in the finacial shite, time will tell.

What a load of nonsense in which you conveniently forget that loads of the posters you slag off here support the team week in, week out, home and away unlike you who catches the odd London match.
Anyway the is a huge blank space under this post for you to fill with your positive thoughts to cheer us and the team up,




























Have fun.

Could be Felwick came back expecting Brent's 30% to be a staging post on his way out. Brent then digs his heels in and decides to stay and Felwick says "sod this for a game of soldiers" and decides not to return.

I don't know but it would be odd for someone to leave a board and then return to what is essentially the same board.

I think it's the direction plotted. Felwick jumped with others when he didn't fancy Brent's plans, and now Hallett says little will change, and more importantly actually means exactly that. Sometimes the most obvious reason is the right one.

Funny you should say that my feeling is that Hallett has forced Brent out as the rumours suggested. I think Brent is now trying his best to keep in there and to do that he must have some kind of leverage. Again boardroom leaks are needed.

Yep. That's why I'm going for a straight personality clash.
