i have also heard this is the case but only from a friend who i wouldn't class as "in the know"
it''s certainly not the most unbelieveable thing i've heard

I have a very strong suspcion that we are on the verge of admin, as it seems a few people possibly in the know are suggesting this may be the case.

Of what i know of Richard Keys, which I know has been covered in another thread, he is quite knowledgable on what is going on, and is more aware than people think. He could be a good antagoniser against SISU if he wanted to be.

I know our revenue streams were not good anayway but the way they have dried up recently makes me feel that SISU are cutting off our capital faster than ever as the pot is running dry, which makes me feel it is imminently admin or takeover.

During his days as a full-back for Manchester City, Ray Ranson visited London for trips to Wembley and Lloyd's. Since retiring, the former captain of the England Under-21 side has expanded his business interests, become a multi-millionaire, and now has funding in place to buy a "big-sized club'', reversing the recent trend for foreign ownership. Local entrepreneurs can be found amidst the Americans and Russians piling into English football.

Ranson has watched with interest events at Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and now Arsenal. "Let's make no mistake about it: these [overseas] guys are into it for one thing only, to make a return,'' said the St Helens-born 46-year-old. "The game is awash with cash with even more coming through broadband. I am different from overseas investment. My aim is more long-term. It is not about building a club up and selling it in two years' time for a profit.

"I have done 'bought, sold; bought, sold'. ProZone was in a financial mess, but I poured a lot of money in, turned it around, and I will make a handsome profit out of it [in the future]. But now I would like to channel all my experience into a club to see if I can implement my vision of how a 21st century club should be run.

"The first thing I would implement is to get the best coach I could find who buys into the long-term strategy of the club. Gone are the days when managers ran the club from top to bottom. Sir Alex Ferguson is the last of that breed.''

I don't know the exact Football League rules but i believe timing is important, i'm sure you can't just go into administration at the beginning of the season take the 10 point hit, come out of admin and try and claw back the 10 points and live happily ever after, that' why Bournemouth for one got done 25 points and there was another club got done 20 i think. Joe Elliott said quiet clearly we could go into administration before we get our first point so thats loud and clear. A business goes into administartion if a creditor depends their dough and the business can't pay, so could someone owed a few bob be about to pull the plug, a bank, an individual perhaps.

I thought clubs use to try and cheat the system and do it at the end of the season i.e leeds? hense the bigger pionts diduction. Could be wrong les_miserables? thats one just sticks out in my mind.

They did and Leeds thought they had got away with it and in a way they had except and i think this is correct there was an issue with tax that they hadn't said or included so got done on 2 seperate issues hence two lots of points deductions, weren't they barred from the F.A.Cup too ? so i think one charge was a Football League rule and the other an F.A. charge. Two different organisations.

Either admin or investment , it is going to be a hell of a ride in the next few months. Just be pleased that if it is investment we dont have Sven to spend our millions :claping hands:

That interview was orchestrated by Richard Keys to put us fans in the picture and fair play to him, he used his position at Talk Sport and was allowed to to do that, lets be honest all that would have been boring to all the non Cov fans listening but they did it and although Andy Gray was ridiculed on here for poor taste jokes that was important to keep the seriousness of the topic going. I think Andy Gray might be one of the "football related" interested parties. Just a hunch.
