So jealous of them.

They also played fast and loose with the FFP rules and were later fined £3.1 million. They're not the only club to have taken that route, but there you go. Going back a bit, they went into administration in 2002 after getting relegated from the Premier League. At the time, there was no punishment for doing so, and they got promoted. (To be fair to them, they might well have gone up anyway as they finished 12 points clear of 3rd place.) That same season, another team recently relegated from the Premier League did not go into administration, and got relegated again. I'd still rather have them than any of the 'big' teams win a trophy though.

 

From memory, United beat them 2-1 with 2 games remaining. Had the administration points deduction taken place, that end of season may have finished differently. Warnock played his 2nd string against Watford when their play off place was confirmed, Reading also from memory would have been contesting that final place.

 

Was it them that refused to pay St John Ambulance? I'm sure there was one club that did that who went into admin?

Rodgers is a very good manager.

Leicester are a clear example of how a club should be run

 

Selling and buying players at the right time, not spending above their means, backing the manager without meddling in tactics/team selections etc.

 

Then there's Chansiri
