If they go bust and into administration - what happens to the £30m debt to sheff utd?

Interesting question.

If it is deemed by the FA as a football debt, they will have to pay it in full before being allowed out of administration or else face multiple points deductions like Luton, Rotherham, Bournemouth and Leeds.

But to an extent we are in uncharted waters as no Premier League club has gone bust before.

Am I being a bit thick here or isn't it that this 10 point deduction (for clubs going into administration) only applies for clubs in the football league (i.e. Championship and below)? I'm sure the Premiership has a different set of rules (i.e. make them up depending on who you are...) :huh:

The Premier League like the Football League is (in theory) ultimately subject to FA rules. The PL has had plenty of forewarning that something might happen to WHU so should have worked out what they would do- and probably have done.

WHU still have the issue of having been adjudged to have broken PL rules again after the £5m fine and the PL has done nothing about that so the make it up and turn a blind eye seems to be continuing....

WBA have a horrible run of games though, except for maybe this weekend. They are a sure bet to go down - Mowbray has said they need to sell before they buy in January too and they want 2 strikers. Maybe we could flog them Roberts??

I think WBA will be bottom, so its 2 places up for grabs really.

WBA have been playing some nice stuff so they could pick up. Don't rule them out of surviving.

If West Brom had a half decent front man they'd probably be in mid table by now. They absolutely battered Wigan in the game they lost 2-1 a few weeks back.

If they're still in touch by January and can get a decent striker (Miller has been ruled out of the season so they'll definitely get someone) then they've got as good a chance as anyone. All it would need is a Marlon King-esque loan deal and they could be safe.

Rovers were lucky to get a point at WBA having been outplayed for almost the whole 90 minutes and gifted a dubious penalty.

I remarked to my WBA-supporting friend after the match that both teams were bottom three material.

Keep faith with Paul Ince however because he and John Williams (the Dream Team) will get it right in the long term.

You seriously think roberts wasn't fouled for our penalty Lechuck?

Wow I swear some people who watch football have absolutely no clue what the rules are.

Not that West Brom's job wasn't made much harder by us getting a complete non-penalty.

Nothing like being selective when complaining about selective editing.

It was a penalty. If the laws are followed to the letter, it has to be a penalty. The only reason it was surprising is because nobody thought he'd punish it when Roberts wasn't going anywhere.

Megson's got manager of the month so that's no wins in the next month or two for Bolton.

I seriously think it wasn't a penalty. I'm aware that, by the letter of the law, it's a foul...but there's an unwritten rule in football that things like that go inside the penalty area, otherwise we'd end up with rugby scores.

Watch some of the matches tomorrow and you'll see dozens of similar incidents where penalties aren't given. The look on Roberts' face said it all.

I'm fully aware of what the rules are by the way, and if you knew how you probably wouldn't make such a pathetic attempt at being patronising.

Fair one, I apologise it was a bit of a flippant comment I'll admit.

However I stand by saying it was 100% a pen however you are right saying it wouldn't often be given but that doesn't change the fact that it was a blatant foul.

And they're not rules, they are Laws. So meh! ;)
