It appears to be far more serious now.

"Every single player at Crawley Town is actively seeking other clubs at the moment."

 

Maybe Ekokudinho could bring a couple of mates with him.

Whats the point in religating them 5 divisions. Other than to totally cripple them, whats the point???Any other type of industry they would try to keep them running,but seems like the F.A wants to destroy them.WHY ????? any logical answers? it may only be football, but jobs and a living to some people!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

Nationwide Conference boss John Moules said liquidation would see Crawley Town relegated "as low as Sussex County League.

 

I think you'll find that what that means is.....

 

.....if they were to go bust, a new club would reform in the Sussex League.

How can a club that has been liquidated remain in the Conference? As FF implies, they wouldn't technically be 'relegated' five divisions - the team playing in the Sussex Senior League would be a completely new club.

Crawley's troubles do of course lead one to wonder whether the Conference sees their financial circumstances as any less precarious than Scarborough's.

I Think you may find a few clubs have been put into recievership. and been saved without being demoted.I seem to remember it happening to Newport county a few times.
If they are placing them into non proffesional leagues why not just disband the club.To be honest I dont know much about Crawley. do they own there own ground ? if so sell it,it will then cover debts.then ground share.

Crawley play at a council owned stadium.

Receivership isn't quite the same as liquidation.

CRAWLEY Town players have been told their club faces liquidation .

 

Quote

The cash-strapped club went into administration last week with reported debts of £500,000.

 

Quote

Chas said he foresees it going into liquidation unless the creditors accept what – I would imagine – amounts to next to nothing."

 

After re reading the article it seems there not in liquidation yet

[Big J R]

It's not looking good for one of my local sides.

 

I hear that people are already estimating the value of the ground.

 

OK - It's a Council owned ground ! So ask yourself. Who stands to make a few quid ?
