Quote: mapleyther "I cannot see any alternative to liquidation and a fresh start in League 1, if anyone feels its worth the effort, that is. There are too many lawsuits by former and current players for any potential investor to take the risk. A new club would be comfortably the biggest in that division and (should they be able to attract players given recent player payment issues!) would be strong favourites to go back up, unless there was some sort of points deduction and financial penalty. From there, it would be mid-table mediocrity in the Championship for the foreseeable future and crowds of 1500. Might be just best to pick Leigh Miners or Leigh East and enjoy local lads playing the amateur game, without enduring all the tinpot running of the 'professional' element of the sport!
As for Beaumont, what he has done to the club is unforgiveable.'"
I feel for you mate and it’s sickening.
I doubt it’ll come to liquidation. Administration maybe - new owner then gets to pay a bit more to the people they want to deal with again and bin off any debts.
Start next season on minus 6 in the championship and possibly a deduction in central funding.
Keeping my fingers crossed. The owners are only ever custodians of the club but it’s the fans that get the sh17 end of the stick. Plus the crappy comments from know all fans of other clubs. As if you have any idea about the accounts of the club.
You’ll be right I’m sure.
