Luton Town

I cant see a thread on this anywhere but dont you think -30 points is excessive? the club is having money troubles so to help them out they give them no chance of staying in the Football League!

I dont particularly like Luton Town due to there away fan ban in the late 80s but you have to feel for the fans!

once again the FA is a arse

sorry but rules are rules and if you break them its tough shit,, i dont feel sorry for teams that get into trouble by living beyond there means,, if i was living beyond my means my house would be took off me by the banks so fuck all clubs who get themselves in trouble

its a different board of Directors now though rebel, Its madness when Chelsea can spend over the top and are techniquely in debt and a small club like Luton get fucked like this! how are they supposed to get out of trouble going in the conference?

i agree about chelsea smoothy and thats so wrong, and if the russian leaves then watch them fall but they can cover there bank debts ,, but my point was if your in debt and living beyond your means then you have only yourself to blame and i cant feel sorry for clubs who chase an unreal dream and then solve there problems by going into liquidation,, cant pay there creditors, and then start afresh with no punishment,
so fuck them

If Luton start on -30pts, then they're going to probably have to make around 70pts just to stay up!

I feel sorry for the Luton fans...not the club! The summer, and pre-season, is a time when, no matter how shit your team is, you can dream of glory...because you are level on points with everyone else, and theoretically, anything is possible. Well, not Luton. It must be heartbreaking for their fans... their club has been mismanaged, and it could happen to any club who are unfortunate enough to be in the hands of a bunch of bafoons

On a lighter note....if Arsenal had started last season on -30pts, we still would have finished above Sp*rs...and with 7pts spare

I always stay in Luton when I'm over to watch Arsenal. Have never met a local who supports Luton but I do feel sorry for the club in a way.

What with Vauxhall pulling out of production and now the once mighty Luton Town going down the pipes it does not look good for the town.

I have to say that I feel 30pts deduction was shocking harsh

I do agree to a point with rebel re the breaking of rules/living beyond your means thing but 30pts will all but put them out of business and for sure it wouldnt happen to a big club. I cant help feeling that there is a certain amount of payback over mike newells comments - despite what they say you cant help but feel that the footballing powers would rather brush any corruption under the carpet than be forced into dealing with it

Have to say the thing that really pisses me off about this saga is that luton are told that they cant appeal or they will be fucked out of the league

How in the name of jesus can that be fair ? Surely legally luton must have some grounds to overturn that ? (must get roly on the case

)
