davieG Posted 8 June 2008 Posted 8 June 2008 If they are signing better players they couldn't otherwise sign without illegal payments then they are gaining an unfair advantage. Unfortunately there is no alternative. If that is the case and can be proved then that would be a direct affect; my suggested action should still be implemented.
DB11 Posted 8 June 2008 Posted 8 June 2008 Are irregular payments like bribing agents? They shouldn't really have broke the rules to be fair... I'm sympathetic with the points deduction but not the fine, which is quite light really (would Chelsea or another rich team be fined that much for breaking the rules?? I think it'd be a bigger fine as they could afford a bigger one)

Alex Ferguson doesn't speak to the BBC because they dared to suggest that only signing players through his sons agency might be a little bit dodgy and even more so when it comes to signing rubbish Brazillians like Kleberson for a small fortune, through his sons agency. Sam Allardyce and his son and so on. Arsenal have a feeder club in Beveren or however you spell it in Holland who have just about an entire squad made up of African players bought over by a company that Wenger part owns. They earn enough to be granted work permits and move on. players like Toure and Eboue were signed from them for very small transfer fees

Oh well as long as there not English, Arsenal and Wenger have nothing to tarnish there anti-english rule and nothing to worry about at all.
act smiley Posted 13 June 2008 Posted 13 June 2008 Beveren are Belgian. Most of the big clubs have similar links, Man Utd have a deal with Royal Antwerp, its just the dodgy ownership in Beveren's case as opposed to just doing deals like that for big sacks of cash that makes it particularly dubious.

frenzal Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...own/7500435.stm That's how to cripple a football club. A good mate of mine supports them, feel so sorry for the fans.
isaidno Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 There going to need to score about 80 points to avoid relegation ( -30 =50 )
lee7 Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 they have got no chance of staying up. you have to feel sorry for there fans.
Fox You Forest Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 There going to need to score about 80 points to avoid relegation ( -30 =50 ) I do feel really sorry for the club and the fans. On a more cynical note should make for an intersting challenge on FM09.
SamL Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 I feel for them, it must be quite hard for them. I suppose they've just got to live on and try to avoid relegation next season. It'll be tough for them.
Simi Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 I feel for them, it must be quite hard for them. I suppose they've just got to live on and try to avoid relegation next season. It'll be tough for them. You think?
Corky Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 What a joke, the authorities have basically killed Luton for this season. Unless they get 80 points, they are relegated. Why not just put them in the Conference now? I feel so sorry for their loyal supporters, and well done to the anonymous Watford fan on Setanta Sports News who said this was a good thing. Twat.
Bryn Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 I can see why they want to discourage financial irregularities but the football economy is just so fooked up and I don't think shafting these clubs helps anything at all.
Jonezy Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 How are they going to motivate players for this season. Its just like a whole year in limbo before they can compete again. Why not relegate them straight to the Conference straight away. I remember when they played on artificial grass and had Dane Lars Elstrup banging goals for them in the old division one in the late 80s. Shame really, and I do feel with their fans.
purpleronnie Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 I thought we had fallen from grace but they have fallen a lot harder.
C-man Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 Feel very sorry for them. 20 points for coming out of administration. What a joke.

Why not just put them in the Conference now?I feel so sorry for their loyal supporters, and well done to the anonymous Watford fan on Setanta Sports News who said this was a good thing. Twat. But is it just for this season? This has knock on effect after knock on effect. This has basically relegated Luton already - Thus more money loss -----> Forcing them into administration again -----> More docked points -----> Eventually Luton Town is no more. The authorities are pathetic can they not see this and not understand the knock on consequences? All I can say is - We think we have it bad. There might not be many but there are teams worse of than us. Premature and I hope it doesn't happen but RIP Luton Town, I hope the pen pushers in the F.A/FL/Whoever has forced these deduction, obstacles, e.t.c in Luton Towns' way are very happy with themselves.
DB11 Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 They broke the rules and now they are serving the punishment. I feel sorry for the fans, they haven't done anything wrong, but how anyone can feel sorry for the club I don't know.

I feel sorry for the fans, they haven't done anything wrong, but how anyone can feel sorry for the club I don't know. So explain how does going into administration give any advantage to on field activities, I don't quite know the in and outs of all these point deductions, not all are due to administration some (About 15 points I think ) are. How did it give us an unfair advantage on the field? With a transfer embargo? Couldn't pay our players - Yet they still performed for us? e.t.c? I normally have the view of "We (Leicester City) are the only club in the whole of the Football League who voted against a points deduction for going into administration, apparently everyone else voted for" If thats true my view is what goes around comes around but these points deduction's are just pathetic, crippleing and killing a football club.
Darkzzz_ Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 I really feel for Luton fans. It is a massive shame.
Daggers Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 Minus thirty ****ing points?! Brian Mawhinney sucks goats.
syston_fox Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 They broke the rules and now they are serving the punishment. I feel sorry for the fans, they haven't done anything wrong, but how anyone can feel sorry for the club I don't know. So you think starting the season on minus 30 points is perfectley fair? They're served more than enough punishment over the last few seasons!! If I was a luton fan, I'd be so dis-heartened by football now!
JoeyB Posted 10 July 2008 Posted 10 July 2008 That is stupid, they are taking advantage of smaller clubs, if it was a club like chelsea or UTD they would say dosent matter.
