People who talk about administration tend to overlook the points deduction.


The only person who can take the club into  administration is JF. If he were to do that he says goodbye to his money and cripples the club going forward with the points deduction!

If the current trend is maintained a points deduction will be irrelevant

Quoted from moosey_club
So much easier to grow a fan owned club from afresh as opposed to taking over a lumbering established club with ongoing contracts, commitments, full time behind the scenes staff etc...
from day one you have a massive commitment to pay existing staff etc and need an overdraft to run through the pre season times were staff still need paying but your income has all but ceased.  That has to be guaranteed somewhere.

Quoted from Ipswin
When you collect whatever sum Fenty needs to clear his loan please don't forget the sum required to buy his shares as well, not much point even in having a pipe-dream about owning the club if Fenty is left with as much as a seat with his name on even less any shares which still give him a say in the running of the club.

His sole involvement when he does finally go (however that happens) can be no more than a season ticket which he pays full price for


Agree. The price will be between £0 and £3m. I think in any negotiations the starting point should be the £3m lost revenue in the Conference, the £xm in lost attendances, goodwill, and commercial income due to poor PR on the pitch and off it.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Well that is a starting point.  

Obviously it's just a moral argument with him, but on the fans' side it should definitely govern what we should be prepared to countenance.
