Really makes you wonder why they didn't take it all on the chin last season, get relegated and start this season in L1 with a clean slate, as it is they've got a season of utter misery and impending relegation. Madness.

Because if they went down they'd be in even more of a financial mess and would've been in danger of dropping again. This has given them a year longer on championship money to get their **** together. I seem to remember MM only getting the administrators in when a takeover failed but it's been running at a massive loss for years now. They'll go into L1 now with new owners and a sense of optimism. Fair enough, they'll have next to no players but you can build a good L1 squad pretty cheaply

I suspect they may not be able to afford Curtis Davies 'down there'

Yeah fair point, the extra 6m or so v helpful at this time
 
While this is expected, what's happened with the Reading penalty and the suggestion that other clubs could be in similar positions ? The more teams that lose points the more chance of us staying up !

Totally agree, but how disappointing is it to be potentially relying on others rather than controlling our own destiny!
