I wonder if Bournemouth and Rotherham will be in the same boat?
At this rate Luton will be playing at Lewes soon !
Talk about different worlds for the prem and the rest of us!

Well thats probably one of the two relegation spots sorted for L2 next season. Bournemouth or someone else will occupy the other once they get hammered by a points deduction.
At this rate, most of the lower leagues will be decided at CVA hearings instead of on a football pitch.

And we won't have to worry about relegation - just wait for the next club to crumble.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
Bournemouth have already had a CVA voted down by the HMRC; although the bidder actually withdrew prior to the creditors vote.

The correct decision. Clubs should not be allowed to get away with such callous spending at the cost of non-football creditors. There will never be a level playing field at any level, but clubs should not be put at risk by a temporary owner chasing a pipe dream.
Pinkney joined Luton stating that he was going to get them into the Premiership within five years and ended up spunking thousands on wages of players they could ill afford.
In the long run, if these penalties deter chairmen/boards from risking the health of a club, then they will serve their purpose.

Trouble is, it won't with some chairmen. They will just clear off as soon as the damage is done.
(I seem to remember the Albion having a chairman like that in the mid 90s).
Agreed. Tough on the fans though.

At least Luton seem to be accepting the decision.

They need to lodge an appeal to get the 15 points back on the principle of them being a bigger club than Leeds.

Could have 3 clubs in League 2 next season starting off on -15. At least they are not in the position of Gretna who look like they will fold at the end of this season due to no funding.

Is that the same one they had in the late 70s?

Don't think it's fair to compare. I think Bamber was a good Chairman. Archer was, and still is, a cock!
