  1. [quote user="Gentleman Jim"][quote user="GazzaTCC"]

    [quote user="mr carra"]I thought they said yesterday that no-one from the Championship would be entitld to vote for that reason.  Though the people they listed who would vote were mainly from League One, who to my mind presumably have a vested interest in the penalty being imposed next season, since Southampton might be in their division then.[/quote]

    You''re right, I''ve just found this.

    With the Championship members of the Football League Board being obliged to refrain from voting on one of their own, the decision on Southampton''s fate will therefore rest with four people - Lorraine Rogers of Tranmere Rovers, Tony Kleanthous of Barnet, Peter Powell of Colchester and the Board''s independent director, Ian Ritchie.

    Could these possibly be the same or similair group that so capably sorted out the Tevez/Man.Utd issue last season ?

     

    [/quote]No. That was the Premier League board, this is the Football League.

  2. It may be misplaced confidence on my part but I don''t think the FL will let them get away with squirming through this ''holding company'' loophole.Jim Smith is spot on, it''s nothing like Delia going bust. This compan only exists to own the football club and its periphery companies so in effect it is the football club. The FL learned their lesson with ITFC and that''s why they could impose new tariffs against Leeds and Luton for the way their administrations were handled.I can see them having the points off this season (if they''re not relegated as a matter of course) and having a further deduction imposed next.


  3. Lovin'' "The Man" as ever - amazing isn''t it how it''s possible to enjoy something even though it may not always be the notes that are on your own hymnsheet so long as you have some common ground!On the £16million for shares thing (and it''s been done more times than my cousin ''Banged Up'' Terry) the majority shareholders are obliged to look after the interests of the minority shareholders. Consequently any public valuation has to be at the last quoted share price, otherwise they''d be being very naughty and would get their wrists slapped by bankers and lawyers alike.


  4. First off, I''m guessing that "being a woman" shouldn''t have had a question mark at the end of it? [:)]I played when I was at school (till about age 11 when you couldn''t have mixed teams anymore) and that was fun, but ''real'', proper, grown-up football? I''m afraid I''m a bit of a traditionalist. It''s a man''s game and I like to watch men play it. I''ll tune in to the FA Cup finals and such, but on the whole I find it anodyne and bland - technically great but lacking in oomph.Sorry!
