[Evil Monkey 51]

Good stuff, but don''t expect this thread to get anywhere near as many replies as the ones suggesting they''d be kicked out of the league and we''d lose out on promotion as a result...

[city-till-i-die 7]

Far to many points clear to worry anyway[Y] and if Leeds got anywere close they would only feck it up[;)]

No Morty what were you thinking. After we have won the title on Saturday and Cowling proves he is just full of hot air on Monday what are people going to moan about then?! Tut tut.

That''s a relief for us. Also pleased it means another club isn''t going to go into melt-down.

Whilst I never considered this an issue, I am pleased it''s sorted.

For our sake not Southend''s. Not too fussed about them.

I know this issue has been debated considerably both here on the Pinkun and elsewhere Morty but, and has been said prior, how docking us 6 points for going out and winning as opposed to losing, should benefit teams who have lost is fair I will never understand.

I appreciate the letter of the ''law'' states that if a club goes out of business then all points - regardless of won or lost - are wiped but it is simply not fair to the clubs - not just Norwich - effected.

Yes agreed it is only fair.

Sadly.

Must be some logical way around it.

Luckily it''s not the case for us this year, but some poor sod is going to get clobbered one day.

Good News, shame KL couldn''t do the same!

Have Kuala Lumpa gone bust?I had a good time there.

Old news reported on BBC Look East last week if I remember correctly.

Apparently the money is coming from Sainsburys! Presumably they are going to get Southends current ground when Southend move into their new stadium.

Its more than intending to pay it...they would have to explain to the Judge where the money was coming from.

As I say old news.

We were told this by the Football League but then how do you explain Notts County this season??  They certainly have not kept within any debt and expenditure compared to income guidelines.  And they are going to end up going up as champions which is not surprising with the wages they are paying
