Well, actually, I have been thinking more positively of SW for some time - i.e. when he and the board removed 2Js from office, but better still, moved Peter (former Huddersfield Town manager!) Jackson into office! It is also apparent that funds have been made available and, one assumes, will continue to be made available without detriment to the club as a whole.
Sound business sense there!
Following on from all this...
no doubt some clown will soon be accusing me of being 'in the Board's pocket' and running this fine message board as their so-called 'puppet'!

I had heard a rumour that that did happen once ...
I'm sick of all the sympathy being offered in Luton's (and probably now Rotherham's) direction, mainly from the national media and supporters of clubs further up the league ladder. There's a piece in the la-*test*-('") WSC about it and I'm tired of the cliched line about the blame lying with the 'previous regime', and even losing my sympathy for the 'innocent' fans who have 'lost out' (they presumably didn't celebrate any promotion their clubs achieved? :roll: )
So I'm really pleased with the reaction on this thread. The most important question remains - how exactly is it fair on prudently run clubs if the Lutons and Rotherhams of this world receive negligible points deductions? As others have said, their approach is cheating to all intents and purposes.
As for the fourth division being devalued because the relegation places are sewn up, who cares? Stop being so negative, the rest of us are aiming for promotion :D .
Good post GOBC.
...And don't write Rotherham off from challenging for the play offs either. I think they are fortunate to only lose 17 points and be able to play at all.
obviously
he does not think the punishment is too harsh then.. :shock:

So they can't pay the creditors BUT they have the funds to build a brand new stadium... if this is allowed its totally stupid

Actually it's the council building the stadium - for use by the community, apparently.
Aye, but to use nottingham's argument: they have the funds for two promotions in four years, but can't pay their creditors. This is totally stupid.
You know, I was tempted to write an Impnet-stylee piece entitled "The long, long football con" in the form of an episode of Hustle. Seemed too much ike hard work in the end, but you get my drift.
