Will 3 clubs start -15?

Today's Yorkshire Post:

"............would – if the case involving the Elland Road club becoming precedent, as seems likely – see the likes of Bournemouth, Luton and Rotherham being hit with a 15-point penalty next term to go with the 10 already deducted for going into administration last season."

See: Mawhinney warning for clubs - Yorkshire Post

Maybe four! Some prat on Dinglesmad reckons that we're "on the edge of going into administration and will be lucky to make it through the summer". Where do they get these fairy tales from?

If the administration story was the first time I'd heard of all this, then I too would dismiss it as idle internet chatter, but it isn't the first time as I've heard this story before.

It still surprises me that people continue to believe that Stanley doesn't run at a loss and doesn't have mounting debts.

If we were on the verge of administration don't you think that Eric would have put the Club up for sale by now ?

I did hear the other day that Mr Taxman is apparently very interested.....
I do hope it isn't true but somehow I personally seem to think it's more likely than not

I heard Eric's gone the same way as the Gretna chairman.
