Inverness Caledonian Thistle Have Gone Into Administration.

[Robbie]

Sad news from Scotland. Inverness Caledonian Thistle have been deducted 15 points after going into adminstration.

I Still Don't See The Point Of This. Cally are in Enough Trouble, so the Scottish FA Pour on More Agony, by Docking them 15 Points. Which will Probably See them Relegated. How is this Going to Help their Cause towards Finding A New Owner? Who if one comes Forward has to sort out their Financial Troubles, but Now has a 15 Point Deduction to Contend With. Surely there Must be other Ways to Punish the Club, like Not being allowed to sign players during the next Transfer Window or some such.

Swift justice for everyone except one club that plays in Manchester.

@Wheelbarrow repair man well they don't, & I just don't see why the  players & fans have to be punished with a fifteen point deduction.

Like you said they should have had a transfer embargo put on them & that would have been enough punishment. 

If they are going into administration the owner no longer has control, it's the administrators who will be running the club & looking for a new owner.

Going into administration and being docked 15 points is fair. Each division in the League should be a level playing field. If you overspend in trying to "buy" better players, and you come unstuck, then it is right that points are deducted.

I think fans across the Country will agree that the FFP rules favour the big clubs like the top six in England & the top two in Scotland.

If you have a turnover of  £Billions, it's going to follow that a team with so much finance is going to cream off all the best players without getting into financial problems.

There has to be a cap on the amount of money a club can spend on players, as well as a wage cap, & a cap on the number of the most expensive players a team can have in their squad.

There has to be a system in place that prevents the big clubs dominating the leagues & cup competitions year after year.

If these top coaches are as good as the media say they are, let them coach less expensive players into World beaters.

How is it Fair that there is a possibility that the Club could end up going out of Existence ? When that Club could play an important part in that Particular Community? Surely it would be better for the Scottish FA to Draw up a Financial Plan to help the Club, a  Plan which must be followed by the Club to get them back on an Even Financial Keel? Much Better than Putting More Pressure on them, with a Big Points Deduction?

Also think on this What Would Have Happened To Notts If The Reedtz Brothers hadn't have Stepped in, after the Alan Hardy Mess at the Lane? You'd be Quite Happy for the Magpies to Drop Down several Leagues or go out of Existence, and have to Come Back as some New Club with a Slightly Different Name, such has Notts Magpies F.C?
