liverpool FC likely to avoid Premier League points deduction even if RBS take over

liverpool FC are likely to avoid a Premier League points deductions even if the Royal Bank of Scotland takes over the club.

The Reds face the very real possibility the bank could grab control by the middle of this month if American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett fail to pay the £237m debt.

Some football legal experts have predicted that Kop Holdings, which owns LFC, would automatically be placed into administration.

But the ECHO understands the Premier League would not view that move as Liverpool being declared insolvent.

But the ECHO understands the Premier League would not view that move as Liverpool being declared insolvent.

Regular discussions have been taking place between Liverpool chairman Martin Broughton and league chief executive Richard Scudamore.

The Reds have been seeking clarification on the potential scenario if RBS took temporary charge at Anfield.

Sources have indicated a nine point deduction, threatened to football clubs when they go bust like Portsmouth last season, would not materialise.




WTF??????!?!?!?!?!?

DISGRACE. Simple as that. MAKES A MOCKERY OF THE RULES.

MAKES A MOCKERY OF FOOTBALL IN GENERAL.

Some club's are above the rules obviously and they'll look the other way... or change the rules so they qualify!!!

Or they'll say: IT WAS CHELSEA

"Lawyers closely watching the process, meanwhile, disagree over the possible outcomes and acknowledge the Reds are entering previously unchartered legal territory for the Premier League.

One urged caution citing the example of Southampton who were docked league points after claims that their parent company, and not the club, had gone bust, were dismissed by the Football League"

GET THEM DOCKED!

SOUTHAMPTON HAD THEM DOCKED. SO SHOULD THOSE REDS

Southampton has the Titanic docked didn't it? And it was made in Liverpool wasn't it eh?

I smell a rat.

 

[Matt Damon]

Are you telling me that lot don't deserve to be docked 9 pts? Just like any other club would?


It's like Clatternberg all over again. And all the rest of the times they've had people ignore the rules completely for them!

It's how the universe works mate. We just got to roll with it, we don't do protest groups as well as them. We cant be arsed.

More self respect you mean? Dignity perhaps?


You just knew - that if they were going to go bust - they'd have arranged a deal first to avoid punishment!!!

Typical.

I bet Broughton threatened that corrupt ghet Scudamore - with Kopite email and paper plane campaigns etc.

You know it lad. They so did.

Its like physics mate, they always turn out ok. It's how it is.

While they have been [Poor language removed] they haven't received half of what we took from them during the nineties. That says it all really, it's them with the inferiority complex.

If they escape a 9pts deduction for going broke...

thats another thing to add to the list, alongside:

* Gerrard escaping jail
* Clatternberg
* IT WAS CHELSEA...

etc etc etc

Saw this a while ago. Does not surprise me. Look at the rule change when they didnt make the Champions league that time. They get it on a plate all the time.

The other 19 teams of the Premier League and the football league clubs could object that this has happened.

It totally undermines the attempts to prevent a Portsmouth or Notts County or similar happening again


Bending the rules. This ENCOURAGES this sort of bad ownership to happen!


WHY SHOULD THEY GET A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD?

[HirsuteBlue]

How are you surprised? If their fans rampaged and killed 39 they would get off.... oh wait... "Justice!" (cough)

 

[chrissyjack]

Will the FA do anything if the other 19 teams complained about it ? Would they boolocks

Didnt Southampton try and pull this of a few seasons back, the investment vehicle for the owners was declard bank rupt and the club tired to argue that it had nothing to do with the club it was the company.

From what i remember they were still hit with a deduction.
