This is getting silly.

This is ridiculous! It's the F.A.'s stupid way to put indebted clubs out of the football league. It ultimately punishes the fans for the boards shortcomings.

I feel very sorry for the fans :-( Seems like theres no hope.

Nowt to do with the fans and I work with one so can empathise but Luton got what was coming to them. I don't know what they weren't kicked out of the league to bring in a well managed non-league club.

It's ridiculous, if this was a bigger club they'd just get a smack on the wrists...

 

[spurslenny]

a 30 point deduction is effectively a 2 season punishment. Its now odds on that they'll get relegated this season, and then spend the following season try to get promoted (assuming that they are still operating by then)
Why did'nt the League/FA just drop them a division as punishment. As it stands, they've got no players, no money to buy new players and nothing to offer anyone even remotely interested in playing for them.

all in all, harsh hardly does it justice

Thats terrible, i really feel for them. I was working on their new 25000 seater stadium (Junction 12 of the M1) a few months back!! Awesome development! Thats gonna be the best stadium in their new league now.
