Been busy today so hoped somebody else would have thought about looking at the rule book (hint to BBC) it was as easy as 1-2-3 (now there was a spreadsheet)
1) go to Google and search for points deduction football administration 2) Find the FA Rulebook for 2006/07 at http://www.thefa.com/NR/rdonlyres/A0E64E04-98C7-4BFC-A0CE-6ACC887B4C7C/0/FAH andbook200607.pdf 3) Use Acrobat search for "administration" And find on page 242: SPORTING SANCTIONS 14.1 If an Insolvency Event shall occur in relation to any Club that Club shall be deducted 10 points. The deduction shall be made forthwith on the happening of the first Insolvency Event. 14.2 Where the Club takes or suffers an Insolvency Event:- 14.2.1 at any time during the Playing Season, the points deduction shall apply immediately; 14.2.2 outside the Playing Season, the points deduction shall apply in respect of the following Season with the effect that such Club starts that Season on minus 10 points. 14.3 For the avoidance of doubt, where a Club is subject to more than one Insolvency Event (for example Administration followed by a Company Voluntary Arrangement), the Club shall only be deducted one set of 10 points, such deduction to apply with effect from the first Insolvency Event. 14.4 The Competition shall serve the Club with written notice of the points deduction (the 'Notice'). 14.5 A Club may only appeal against an automatic deduction of points on the ground that the insolvency proceedings arose solely as a result of a Force Majeure event (the 'Appeal'). For the purposes of this Rule 14, a 'Force Majeure' event shall be an event that, having regard to all of the circumstances, is reasonably considered to have been unforeseeable and unavoidable. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
