Would be absolutely stunned if one of the three L1 clubs isn't us...

 

[Benfleet A1]

Any way of finding out?

 

[manor15]

Bury and Coventry have got to be two of them surely?

 

[Napster]

No clubs were named in the report which is available on their website.

We all know our finances are not great but why assume we are one of the 3? Coventry, Bury, and Port Vale are just 3 league one clubs with well publicised financial difficulties and there will be more.

 

[Supernaut]

I assume the 4 doesn't including the Os, who have clearly already failed, and won't be EFL for much longer :stunned:

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Oldham could be one they had issues not so long ago

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Be surprised if we are one tbh

We were the League 1 family club of the year a few seasons ago.

If that constitutes failure then god help us all.

 

[Barling Magna]

Bolton were served with a winding up petition in January.

 

[SUFC_Ross]

Coventry,Charlton & either Vale or Bury I would of thought all 4 of those are before us!

 

[Shrimperforlife]

Bolton were served with a winding up petition in January.

At one point , weren't they over £100m+ in debt...?? or was that wiped when Houldsworth's group took over ??

 

[blue pilot]

Surprised its only 4 tbh, I could name 4 in each league I'd think are in trouble without thinking too long.

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Be surprised if we are one tbh

That just shows how bad the scale can be, millions of pounds in debt, no sustainable plan and it's still probably not us...

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

It has to be Coventry, Bolton and either Charlton or Bury for me, in League One. Orient in League Two.

 

[Barling Magna]

Coventry are surely one of them, they owe £38 million to a hedge fund and the Ricoh Stadium is owned by Wasps rugby club now.

 

[Mick]

Bolton were served with a winding up petition in January.

We had one in January too !

 

[Chocolardo]

Sherif H being negative about the club. SHOCK

 

[Jim Levenstein]

That just shows how bad the scale can be, millions of pounds in debt, no sustainable plan and it's still probably not us...

Our debt is to Ron though and he doesn't seem keen on taking it back anytime soon which probably put us as safe from going out of business.

We've been out of trouble for a while and have enough finances to get big players (for this league) like Simon Cox, there's very little chance we're one of the clubs here. Despite the doom and gloom on here a lot of clubs are in far worse positions at the moment.
