League Two club allegedly put into administration with points to be deducted - Fan Banter

An unnamed League Two club have allegedly been put into administration with points likely to be deducted according to reports on Thursday. Freelance journalist James Goodwin first came out with the worrying news, though it would be a boost to the sides at risk of relegation in the League Two...

Well if fanbanter.co.uk is running with it, then that's all the proof of veracity to the story I need to hear to be convinced it's genuine.

Let's wait for official confirmation, eh?

That’s a bit like saying let’s not talk about the match Saturday till we know the result

 

[Smiffy]

Still. At least the original "Tweeter" has got the exposure he wanted. Shows how easy it is to make up a bull**** rumour and for it to go viral.

Not really - points deduction is speculative whereas the Saturday games will happen.

There are a load of crap tweeters there but this one is better than average for reliability. Not always right but I would imagine there must be at least something concrete going around the football community about it.

For admin points deduction isnt speculative it is a guarantee. However the speculative part is what club if any they refer too

 

[Westcliff DGS]

When I was working in the game thru last summer there were 7 or 8 current league 2 clubs very close to administration, when I left at christmas is was 6. It wouldn’t surprise me if more than one are on the brink

This guy is one of the only ones on Twitter with any credibilty to be fair. Usually gets this sort of thing right.

 

[Barling Magna]

It would be the only league we are top of ! ? then again, we might score heavily for the yellow card count for central midfielders ?

I think Colchester and Oldham owe more than SUFC does.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Wigan was rumoured to go into admin last year, everyone thought the twitters rumours was bull****, it’s come out truth, I remember Barnsley fans was hoping it’s happening and they celebrated like they won promotion!

 

[onceknownasrab]

How embarrassing to see Col U get a 12 point deduction and still finish ahead of us.

 

[Snowy]

Club reported to have almost £30m debt. -12 points for going into administration.

Rumours still flying around. All we can do is try and win all our remaining games and stay up through gaining the points and not rely on other misfortune.

 

[philtalkin]

Is it Oldham, or is it Col U?

Only one way to find out.... FIGHT!!! (Oh and they’re playing each other on Friday).

BBC Essex confirms it's not Col Ewe, as predicted a load of old rubbish and shows how easy it is to make something up and get traction.

Not really sure how these things work. But Col Ewe’s parent company who the money is owed, (Aspire Media), has three directors, all of whom are Cowling’s.

Could Cowling have got to the point where the finances are rocky and he doesn’t fancy their chances of staying up, so is using the parent company to force the club into administration? Again, I don’t really know the ins and outs, but would it not make some sense for them to take the -12 this season and go down with no point deduction next season? Otherwise, they may still go down and go into administration, meaning -12 at the foot of the conference before a ball is kicked of the new season. That’s a big hole to then dig them out of, especially with less money coming through the door.

I’m probably talking utter ****e/thinking out loud.

Right so we should not speculate? Not much point in a forum then if you can’t speculate over things is there

Yep talking absolute rubbish

If there was any element of truth in any club going into Administration I would think it likely to be Oldham or Mansfield

However I think original rumour regarding any club is rubbish but got the tweeter his moment of fame

The person who started it originally has been right on a few things in the past so there was a degree of credibility, the speculation part has been which club.

If it had been ColU Robbie would just of borrowed some money from Ron to tie him over.
