Is administration so bad?

When you look at the Premier league with teams like, Leicester, Southampton, Palace, who all went into administration in the recent past, perhaps we would have been better off than get in RD to kill the club

    Otherwise it's kaput

    Again?

    Ask Portsmouth or Coventry fans

    And there is no reason for RD to put us into administration. It doesn't help profit him or remove any burden.
  • If you're happy to shaft a load of small local businesses, St John's Ambulance, suppliers and other such creditors.

    Club's that go into admin should be ashamed. It's not a magic pill.

    Funny how soccer saturday and all the media tossing themselves silly over palace don't mention that they completely screwed over the likes of laundry companies etc material amounts. Scumbag move and should repay all debts when they come out of admin any club that does it.

    Page 78 shows a list of who was owed what when they were under administration.
  • Simple
    Go into administration you should start back at the bottom or pay back all ur debts
    Bet a few small companies went under because of it
  • Yeah it dispicable. That's the free market for you though.

    Even before Palace, I believed there should be a five year rule, linking to the Premier League licence. Any club that has been in administration should pay back all small businesses on gaining promotion to the Premier League. Currently it is immoral.

    I'd prefer the club to fold completely and start again in the National League or lower if necessary.
  • I just want this bunch of clowns to leave the club before they destroy it - when will this nightmare end

    When I started this thread, I put the emphasis on clubs who have done it and now are successful, it did not mean it is right, and has said before other innocent people lose out, which cannot be right

    With the money Palace are making they should do the decent thing whether they have to or not.

    Would RD sell the football club but retain ownership of the Valley and SL? and lease them back.

    Interesting read. I counted 9 football clubs (including ourselves with £200k) as being creditors - and the likes of the Met Police, London Ambulance Service too. Add in the many businesses (a lot of which will be small companies, not faceless bureaucracies) and also a fair number of individual (who could be sole traders) concerned and it's no laughing matter. The knock-on effects of things like this are not great and the hurt and pain is spread widely.
