Now administrator for Portsmouth.
If this is judged 'wrong section' I apologise but we talk long gone Warnock in here so I thought what the heck.

Already got a sneaky mention in the 'Highest Paid Director' thread.

(You have to keep your wits about you on this site!)

Probably wrong section, but if he fell in sh-t he'd come up smelling of roses!

The whole admin thing has become a farce. You get to spend way above your means for a few years with players and senior staff taking obscene salaries, maybe get to a final or a promotion whilst the business runs up huge debts without a care. And the big punishment - same as three defeats and a draw. Then you get to start all over again.

The only losers seem to be the businesses and us the taxpayers.

Only way it will stop is if there is a real incentive not to go into admin.

True getting a bit sick of this.

Saw one poor business owner left on the verge of closing from Pompeys last administration that hadn't been paid £30k or so owed to him.

The destruction they cause to businesses was highlighted in the documentary.

A ten point deduction (especially for a second offence) is a joke. No wonder clubs like Leicester, Leeds, Portsmouth, Rangers, Wednesday etc. run rings round administrators and the useless suits who run football.

What about a one point deduction for every £1m they owe?

 

[SotonBlade]

Alan Sugar is right, how can a company continue to 'trade' when it's in administration. Only in football! The business is insolvent!

Its not just football though ,i've just been taken to the cleaners by a company in Killamarsh who are still trading having changed their name slightly 4 times in 8 years and have 3 ccj's against the current one. How these people sleep at night is beyond me.

Twenty point for the first time, fifty points for the second time. If this leaves them on minus points at the end of the season then they carry them over to the next season.

Because they don't care. They're just like any other kind of thief, from the burglar nicking your Playstation to the investment banker pissing our money away. They don't give two fucks who gets burnt as long as it's not them.
