    Oh yes please make them go out of business. I would be that happy I wouldn't even be bothered about a slight refund on my season ticket from one match fewer.

    Given the hearing is at the end of July, if they go pop after then, I can only assume that we would proceed with a league of 23 teams. It's a bit shitty moving things so close to kick off.

    Really don't understand anyone wishing that tbh. The owners won't suffer. The players won't suffer. The staff, the community, the local businesses, are the ones who will suffer.

    This. I remember our administration period, not knowing if the club would survive. I wouldn't wish it in any fanbase, even Wednesday. Football clubs are so important to so many people's lives as meeting places etc.

    Fine them. Dock them points. Relegate them. But try to avoid killing them.

    Fairest way is to keep the Wendies down to keep the same number of fixtures imo!

    Teams that are playing fair are suffering by being below the constant cheats in the Football pyramid.

    I would have to draw the line at Wednesday , would be delighted to see them in the conference, in fact they could then pop my coffin lid on because I would be going on my one way trip with a beam on my face !!!

    I agree. All for punishing the Club, just not making it extinct. Thousands of totally innocent people suffer, through absolutely no fault of their own.

    Knowing our luck we’d come 2nd and would decide to promote 1 and put us into play offs
