It is a shame to see a club possibly getting a wrapping up order, but it just shows how important running a club within its limits is.
Clubs do seem to get a lot of leniency with the taxman, much more so than other buisnesses, maybe if they didnt get plenty of chances for bancruptcy/administration (im thinking leeds united) they might be a bit more caucious/realistic when it comes to spending the dosh.
Like GT has said, why should clubs that spend what they can afford be at a disadvantage compared to a club which is in its own debt for spending too much on players/wages!

It does seem ridiculous that, despite the fact that so many clubs are in dire financial straits, many others seem to be willing to spend beyond their means for a bit of short-term glory. In the long run, it's never going to work, so it beggars belief that those in charge of these clubs are daft enough to think it's worth a chance. Maybe if these clubs were hit by bigger penalties ie expulsion from the League they're in the owners would be a little bit more cautious before dragging their clubs into extortionate amounts of debt?  |

It is hard to feel sorry for clubs that get themselves in such a state as at the end of the day its due to the idiots running them.
The fans are the ones who really suffer though - those genuine Chester fans who have supported them through the years must be absolutely gutted at whats going on.

Indeed, but it's good to see they're taking a proactive stance on the matter, looking to form their own club a la AFC Wimbledon. Hopefully it won't be too long before football is reclaimed from corporate wannabes and fans can go back to enjoying football without having the threat of their club disappearing overnight. |
