SuperNickyWroe, I'm not sure that's right about Administration, at least in the National Leagues.SuperNickyWroe wrote: ↑07 Mar 2024, 14:36 That is incorrect.
Only when actually entering administration do you get 10pts deducted.
Also, I have just spoken with someone at the club and they are confident that one of the proposed interested parties will succeed.
I will not divulge who the person is for their confidentiality.

Defines Insolvency Event on page 4:
“Insolvency Event” means any one of the following:
(a) (Deleted by Flags for brevity)
(b) lodging a Notice of Intention to Appoint an Administrator or Notice of Appointment of an Administrator at the Court in accordance with paragraph 26 or paragraph 29 of Schedule B1 to the 1986 Act,
The penalty for insolvency events is stated on page 43:
13.A.1 If an Insolvency Event shall occur in relation to any Club that Club shall be deducted 10 (ten) points.
So, if the club has filed the refered to Notice of Intention to appoint an Administrator, then it looks to me like the 10 point penalty is due.
Maybe there is some discretion - I've not read the full 129 pages...
