Barry the bird boggler Odd that Bolton also look likely for the drop as well then! One wonders what would happen to them if they drop into the Championship and don't get an immediate return.
Ideal Disturbing that Ipswich paid Chopra £250K so he could pay off his loan sharks:

Why is it? That'll come out of his wages. He's no good to Ipswich with no knees.
Ideal
Exactly. He's been earning well for years, clearly it indicates that he has no money left.
Furthermore, I find it disturbing that Ipswich signed him knowing he had a gambling addiction, knowing they'd have to cover his £250K gambling debts!
I just happen to think this is indicative of a sickness, a cancer destroying football.
If we as a club were to sign a gambling addict, I'd hope someone in the club stopped for a minute and contemplated the moral implications of this.
Don't forget, these are role models for thousands and thousands of youths.

IdealRev Algenon Stickleback H To be honest, I don't think many youngsters are going to look at a player being threatened with criminals to pay off gambling debts and think gambling a cool thing to do as a result.
That was not my point.
Let me explain it to you:
Young people see footballers being criminals, gambling, drinking, killing people in traffic, drunk driving etc.
Young people then see those very same troubled inviduals being signed by clubs
Young people then equate 2+2, and come up with "it is ok to do whatever you want, break the law, behave like a complete asshole, because there will be no consequences to speak of".
Do you now understand what I was getting at?

Except this case clearly shows there are consequences. You must think young people are really stupid.
...... the question of whether or how Kettering Town will able to survive above or beyond the end of this season while playing at Nene Park remains a depressingly valid one.
Chairman Imraan Ladak has claimed that the club’s transfer embargo – in place over non-payment of money to Crawley Town over two players that were loaned to the club during less fallow times – will be lifted next month, but it doesn’t seem as if too many of the club’s support believes a single word that comes out of his mouth any more. Ladak also claims that the club’s financial difficulties would be essentially resolved if “two sums of GBP48,000 and GBP158,000 that we believe are outstanding” were paid by sponsors of the club, but it seems again that his exhortations to keep the faith are falling upon deaf ears at the moment and, while there can be little question that just over GBP200,000 would be very handy to any club playing at their level, as times goes on and still this money fails to materialise, it starts to feel more and more as if it ever will – and even if it does, what is becoming apparent that the economics of the club’s move to Irthlingborough was based upon a fundamentally flawed plan. If there actually ever was a plan at all, of course.
On Monday morning, however, those turning up at the club’s old home at Rockingham Road in Kettering itself, where the social club that was being sub-let to the club’s Supporters Trust by Kettering Town Management Limited, were given something of a shock when they found that the gates to the ground had been locked by bailiffs acting for the property developer Ben Pickering, who is the owner of the ground and with whom Ladak had failed to agree an extension on the club’s lease beyond 2013. Of course, such situations seldom occur without somebody being made aware of it, and a representative of Pickering’s solicitors, Howes Percival, subsequently confirmed that they had served notice at Rockingham Road in November in order to remedy the breach of the tenancy contract.

1871 Royal SSN reporting that Darlington, the conference club with the 20k seater stadium, go into administration.

Not true.
Tony Le Mesmer the conference dont fck about when one of their teams goes into administration. Usually, its the end of the road.
Expect to see Darlington in the Northern League next season. In all honesty, it will do them good in the long run. Finally giving them a chance to escape the Reynolds legacy.
