Such sweet, sweet irony

[Kettering Pete]

When Leicester restructured their debt after going into administration in 2002, enabling them to hold onto a string of Premiership stars who ordinarily would have been sold to stay afloat, they gained promotion to the Premiership, at the expense of Sheffield United, who had to make do with a play-off place. After United failed to gain promotion Warnock revealed his anger at the Leicester situation. Incensed that City could have got into such a state yet continued to compete at the top of the table, with no punishment, Warnock complained to the press, claiming United should have Leicester's place in the Premiership and the club should have been relegated or booted out the League. Any team now going into administration is automatically deducted 10 points, although even with this punishment Leicester would still have been two points clear of United.

... and the irony is that Warnock now manages a side who have received a 10-point administration deduction.

Just to clear that up.

Just to complete the list of running jokes:

Has Warnock tried connecting it to the TV?

 

[DesertFox]

He can't, it's round the corner with Joey.

Etc etc.

In his programme notes, Warnock raged: "I find it quite immoral that they have been allowed to do what they have done off the field.

"It leaves a bitter taste and I am sure that it will be the catalyst for a rule change within both the Premiership and Nationwide League.

"Otherwise, everyone with huge debts will do exactly the same.

"And it leaves clubs like ourselves - who run a tight financial ship - at a huge disadvantage."


oh Alanis Morisette, fancy turning up for a sing song at Selhurst Park?

The Walking Dead came out yesterday after a two week delay. It wasnt a great issue, but they have made it to the safe zone community so things should get very interesting.

Is the Walking Dead a graphic novel about the fortunes of Crystal Palace.
