    [cite]Posted By: Mortimerician[/cite]If we followed suit how many of those welcoming Saints demise, would start wailing about the gross unfairness of it all? come on, honestly...

    The rule has to be there though because teams like Leicester and Luton have played the administration game in order to get rid of debts that they'd merrily racked up. It's sad that the fans suffer from poor management, but then again they do anyway. We've had 4 cack managers and countless useless players foisted on us, which is kind of the same thing.

    You're right there i think, but what the peanutman said about the damage that the money in the game through Sky and the Premiership is doing is a big part of it too.

    I'm glad that the FA have docked southampton points not because i have any problem with saints, just because i don't want them to have an unfair advantage over us next year and because the rules are there for good reason (like you describe morts) . There have been plenty of clubs that have been managed badly and i always think it's a cop-out to say the fans don't deserve this so it shouldn't happen. But despite everything it's difficult to ignore that this will keep happening to clubs as long as money is divided as unfairly as it is at the moment.

    Why thank you, sadly milling around on Charlton Life is far, far more entertaining than my work on the British Constitution, which I've managed to put off for hours now :)

    Much more fun than calling customers, agreed.

    They got mathematically relegated to day so will definitely start next season with minus points.

    What do you do when your club needs all the money it can get?

    Throw things at the away fans and get the club fined! Some (vast minority) of their fans don't deserve a club.

    Your club's about to go to the wall so what should you do?
    Grab the nearest "thing" and throw it at the away fans!
    It is all Ipswich Towns fault that Southampton got in this Pickle!! What a bunch of bell ends.
