I think the only fair way would b 3 still go down 3 4 come up then an extra team would hace to come up frm confrence but I think the fa wud just relegate 2 teams instead of 3

Nobody, not even the jacks. Will be a bad day for football if it happens to a team in the upper echolons of football especially.

I am not so sure. The sooner some Premiership clubs fail, the sooner the football authorities (and possibly the Government) will wake from their slumber and smell the coffee. It may be better for other clubs and the game in the longer term. It's not all rosy in football and nothing will change until there is some high profile damage inflicted. Sad, but true!

That's what I think too. Pompey may go into admin , someone buys them on the cheap but they are deducted points.

Some football writer can't remember which one) was saying if they go into Administration and the assets are worth less than the debt, they could be the first Premier league club to go bust ????

Not sure if that can happen or not
