...has tweeted about the legal action at Barnsley. There's nothing new in it, but a lot of Wigan fans follow him, so they are taking great delight at the irony.
Not quite the same situation as Wigan, but hey, who would begrudge them a lighter moment as they embark on admin in the 3rd tier.
Thing is, if we went into Administration, I'm not sure there'd be quite so many Barnsley fans starting petitions against the automatic points deduction, saying "don't punish the club because the owners of the club are rotten"
Are they aware of GGs connection with our owners and that the likeliest people to save them this point are part owners in Oostende, who potentially could have an opaque HK structure to cover true ownership?
But ifs. We are not in such massive debt. That I’m aware of. Which would be much more of a reason to sell the club on if they wanted out rather than go the admin route. As Patrick did. No creditors to worry about. HMRC. player contracts etc. Owners out of pocket. Lots to be said about being prudent and not splashing the cash. Biggest issue as in Patrick’s case . Finding a buyer. Administration Would create massive implications re taking ownership of other clubs. Don’t know if that’s just an FA guideline into preventing owners from purchasing clubs. OR a FIFA guideline. Which begs the thought. I wonder how long John Dennis. Is banned for or is it possible for him to be involved again.
