Four EFL clubs 'at risk of failure' according to study

Four English Football League clubs are in danger of going out of business, says a study by financial experts.

According to the report by financial services firm Begbies Traynor, three unnamed clubs in League One and one in League Two are in "financial distress".

Bolton must be one ?

Charlton Coventry Swindon Leyton Orient

Didn't realise Swindon were in the poo.

Didn't realise Swindon were in the poo.

Me neither, they made a profit of £1.5 million last year.

 

[El Presidente]

Bolton?

Definitely.

So not Swindon then.

Bolton, Cov and Orient are in the bank, not sure on a fourth.

 

[El Presidente]

So not Swindon then.

I don't think so.

Coventry are up the creek, they owe £38 million to a hedge fund and the Ricoh is owned by Wasps rugby club now.

Bolton are in turmoil, having sacked Dean Holdsworth as a director after he arranged a £4 million loan from a mysterious lender from Essex who are charging interest at 24% a year compound.

Orient have not been paying the bills in L2, so suspect they are the party there.

Oldham? They had a winding up order last year from HMRC I think.

Good call!

I hope they all recover ok.

Saddest thing to see a club go under

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It's not been looking good for Newport County in recent months. And things will only get worse in they join Leyton Orient in the National League.

 

[sparkie]

Chesterfield could easily be the 4th team.

 

[whitelion]

Me neither, they made a profit of £1.5 million last year.

"Swindon are either headed towards administration and a points deduction, or on the verge of a takeover by a 'local consortium' depending on who you believe, but with reported debts around £13m (they also suffered a transfer embargo for breaking the Salary Cost Management Protocol - the Leagues One and Two salary cap), things certainly don't look as good as they were."

 

[TSB]

Too much to hope that Pompey is one?
