| The points deduction for going into administration (and I'm wondering about that as well, given that we're supposed to be debt free) would mean almost certain relegation at the end of next season. I can't see anyone buying into the club with that in prospect.

| Its peanuts to run a SL club for potential owners, so I believe you will find owners from within Europes centre of finance
Its far easier to overcome a 4pt deduction with no debt and enthusiastic owners, than with debt and a badly run club
You know what's needed, where the best place to play is but to attract fans the club needs to be sexy and have identity
Don't give up, a brighter dawn may be just around the corner

| Going in to administraton is a way to force the issue, so it may be the only way to save the club, if david h has withdrawn his support then so be it, its not the first time we have been here, and we are not the only club to be in this position.
we are a small but hardy bunch who follow this club and are used to the "wait and see approach" so lets err wait and see.

| I hope that this is just a mechanism in place in which the club can legally rid itself of its obligations to HMRC and Harlequins Rugby Union club - as I couldn't care tuppence about either of them - rather than an attempt to evade payments to both existing and former players and staff.
I pray that we can restart the club.
My strong preference is that this is without the existing leadership team if at all possible and with David Hughes as only a sugar daddy if anything.
I believe the RFL will give a level of token help as they did with Crusaders so unless this is prearranged for Kleanthous to step in, I think we've seen the last game.
If that is the case, I am glad that I stood by the club for the whole of last season going to every UK away game and saw the last two wins at Hull KR and Bradford. At least that will be my eternal memory if it is the case.

Two months ago Wakefield were told by the RFL that should they enter administration then they would be automatically relegated and would have to start again in championship 1. We were lead to believe that this is now the automatic punishment for a club entering administration so there is no more wiping of the debts with just a 4 point deduction and carrying on as before. I would expect this to also be the Broncos fate.

| As a Salford fan, I know how I felt twelve months ago. After a lifetime of supporting the club it was horrible. I sincerely hope there is light at the end of this tunnel for all London fans and that you emerge from administration in a stronger position.

You do have a link to these rule changes then? Even a report from a decent paper?

Have you got any printed media or press release proof of this new edit from the RFL? I have checked and spoken this morning with several RL staff in media and clubs and they are not aware of this ruling.

| There was always a possibility this would happen. That it has, is testament to both the incompetence of our management and the malaise at the RFL, unable to help bring us to a resolution sooner.
Apart from it being a bad headline before a really important world cup fortnight, it is merely another proud moment on Gus Mackay's glittering CV. The halfwit.
What is telling is the anger on twitter being vented by the remaining players. It is the first time we have seen such a tangible lack of faith in those running the club but it is clearly a feeling that has been festering for some time.

All we can go on is what the current chairman has told supporters, Andrew Glover and James Elston wanted to take the club into administration but the RFL advised that if this happened Trinity would be demoted, hence the club selling the better players for a total of £250k over the last two months to avoid it. Who knows whether London will get the same message?
[url=http://viewtopic.php?p=17636979&tsmp=1385039092#p17636979This guy is the Trinity chairman[/url
Any clues on what liabilities the club are looking to shed as I though all debt was owed to Hughes? Is this just a game of hardball with the RFL?
