Not sure how much it went for but didn't they have wages to pay? If they had wages chances are they had other creditors too as you'd expect wages to be the last thing to go unpaid. 

The problem they have is that they now have to face the next 5 months or so operating without being able to sell any players. For that reason I wouldn't predict any let up by their creditors. I'd hate to think what the wage bill for the next 5 months looks like for instance.

I was waiting for that one  and a fair comment. But equally quite different and extremely complex issues in those particular cases, especially around offshoring and transfer pricing.

Yes, but whether that's enough we will find out around Feb 22nd as that was the deferment date from their hearing... let's hope it's not!

Well done lads, bloody fantastic result.

I'm going to spend the next week looking at the Championship table.

We aren't going down, say we aren't going down!

Can't stand seeing us in the bottom 3.

Was at the game, just watched the highlights, my god that penalty was soft.. And how the hell did it go in? Thought it was saved from where I was standing today. Luck definitely on our side today.

That may just pay off HMRC and avoid them being wound up for unpaid tax. It probably wouldn`t stop admin though as that will depend on their other creditors and what they want to do. HMRC have no interest in them going into admin as they would only get 10p in the pound or something like everyone else - they would prefer they were wound up and the assets sold as, being a preferential creditor, they would get paid in full before anyone else. If they are wound up, you`re looking at a phoenix club in the Manchester & District league or something like that. I expect them to pay off HMRC and then go into admin.

Does anyone know what the cut off point for a points deduction in any season is? I know they did introduce one after Leeds played the system that time and took the points deduction after they were already relegated. There now have to be a certain amount of games left for it to be applied in the current season, if there aren`t enough left, they get it next season.

Somehow I have a hunch Bolton will somehow duck admin. It's been dragging and would be a terrific boost if they went in but we as a club don't tend to get many lucky breaks.
