They weren’t allowed to go into administration; it wasn’t because they actually had their s**t together. In fact, it was quite the opposite…
I don't think Macclesfield ever went into administration - didn't stop the EFL docking them points on three separate occasions, the last of which led directly to their relegation from the football league and eventual demise.
I know at least one of the points deductions was for failing to fulfill a fixture, but others were for failure to pay players' salaries. Surely Swindon have committed that same offense this year?

Swindon's players were not payed by the club for the last 2-3 months of last season when Power ran out of funds. Several rental payments to the Council for the ground were also missed.

They won't be making any money from the EFL Cup this year.

Unfortunately if they can make signings like this, they're not getting relegated this time around

But you have to ask why if he is that good, having been released by Cardiff at 27 why he wasn’t picked up by another championship club or a L1 club

Not surprising though when their prices for kids were this cheap and thats all stands.
Adult £23
Over 65 £17
Student £17
U22 £10
U18 £6
U11£1
Comparison I paid £10 for my 9 year old in the North stand so even though they had an extra 900 or so on our attendance we would of made far more wonga.

I suspect it was also a bounce of loyalty after their troubles. Just thought it was funny, doesn't matter in the least to us anyway!

Let's see how many turn up for their next home game, didn't we have a similar bounce when Merry and Smith took over as they were muted as our saviours?
Atleast our 7k home fans went home happy after watching a good game and a good result.

Your comment maybe a bit presumptuous the EFL have to act. The statement of the club trying to deflect some of the blame. Now Clem will/should have another fine to pay because of that s**t club.how much more are the EFL powers that be going to to allow them to get away with unpunished? - has someone at the skip got something on Parry???
