Quote ="wrencat1873"What is strange with this one is, why none of the players were sold by the administrator to cover their costs etc and possibly pay down some of the debt - I realise that this would only be a drop in the ocean but surely this would have been "standard" practice.
I've certainly seen assets of companies in administration sold very cheaply on many occasions, to keep a business running.'"
Why pay when there's a good chance all contracts would become void anyway. Clubs generally don't have money to throw around and a transfer fee for a player currently at a club in administration / not looking like they'll be bought out would be a bad financial decision.
