Pretty obvious really. No point saving the club if you don't have players to field a team.

] He was a decent footballer was Kim, but these days he'd be more of a deep lying midfielder........Off Topic. He was a very good footballer, centre mid. I played with him for Staffordshire schools in the mid 70's. Here he is in 1978 winning the Uttoxeter Challenge Cup at Oldfields, with Rocester, fourth from the left, back row, with alot of hair. Rocester won 4-0 vs Uttoxeter Town, KB scored the fourth. I played for UT. Attachment Deleted

KB's was a long ranger with a bit of swerve. Location based xG 0.06, placement based 0.6'ish by the time it reached the goal

They’re lazy. They’re slow. They let Hughes spend God knows how much on Wimmer, Zouma and Jess when the only thing that should have happened was sacking Hughes the summer before. That’s what 30m of debt right there with a decision that was appalling. And like when we got relegated. Sell some players and use that to spend. Limit the net spend. There’s no way Butland and Allen should have stayed after relegation. Both easily saleable and both easily replaceable. That’s 15-20m at least less debt not factoring their wages. They’ve only got themselves to blame. Multi Billionaires running maybe the biggest betting corporation in the world? Fortune smiled on the city when Denise nudged her old man and told him to take his bookies onto the new fangled internet changing Stoke City's and the family's prospects like no one could have imagined. Just by allowing someone to take a punt on the number of first half corner kicks. Freakonomics in excelsis . Their amassed fortune allowed Stoke City to give the Premier League a good crack and ironically, we now need their heft to keep us out of the mire. Were Stoke not to be owned by the worlds third biggest online gambling corporation, we could be in a similar position to Bury nowadays, let alone the likes of Derby.

Why is it ok for Rooney to do it but against the rules if it had been Stretford?

Apparently it’s not from the articles I’ve read but who knows mate Isn’t it just another example though of them pulling the wool (😉) over the EFL’s eyes. They clearly weren’t solvent and had no operating cash having to rely on their manager to pay wages to limp them to the end of the season. The funding plan they’d given the EFL which showed they had sufficient funds to complete the season was obviously complete bollocks.

So they Rooney/agent subbed the cash to the potential owner to keep trading who was also going to keep Rooney on as manager or am I reading this wrong? Didn't Luton get done for similar once?

If they aren't falling out of the league then surely they must start on a minimum of -15 points.
I remember luton getting 30 points docked many moons ago for transfer and administration stuff.
