Luton Town.

[Manofthebog]

will start next season with a 30 point deduction.

[Meols Kopite]

20 points isnt it?

[Manofthebog]

20 points isnt it?

BBC ticker bar said 30 points.

[Gingawaria]

Ouch...my Watford supporting housemate will be pleased with that.

[Meols Kopite]

Ah right yeah they already had a 10 point deduction, this is an additional 20.

[Shaggy]

Jesus. One thing after another for Luton. What a depressing prospect the season ahead must be for Hatters fans.

[Vermilion]

Waste of time them turning up really, no incentive, they will be in the conference after this season for sure, better they were demoted now, but i guess that would be less of a punishment, gains them a season if promoted back up. Sad.

This is very harsh. They've broken the rules but they've come out and said they've been in the wrong. Should have been 10 points and a big fine. Would have been much more realistic. This just emphasizes that the FA is run by clowns.

It was also not the present owners that caused all the crap, the previous ones who got the club into the mire, were given the go ahead to buy the club as 'good and proper owners' by the FA ffs.

Yes harsh, very harsh.

[Sarb]

****ing joke really. Punishing the fans not the people who caused the **** up

They just keep on going into administration so IMO it is a justified punishment. They should just resign from the league and star out again the conference.

[dww]

I think there needs to be a rethink of the rules to be honest. The competition which was being ruined by teams cheekily going into administration is now being hurt by the points deductions. There needs to be a balance - basically almost no team can recover from a 30pt deficit so it just ruins a lot of games in the next season. I think a more imaginative set of punishments possibly including transfer restrictions or inability to be promoted for a limited period of time would seem fairer.

[redbuz]

They should have just suffered an automatic relegation & a team should have been promoted who were more financially viable from the conference!

[Assassin]

Way to harsh for a small club. It`s hardly an Italian Elite teams scenorio with match fixing.

If it had to be 30 points it should have been 10 points a season for 3 years. What the **** incentive is there for the players and the supporters
