The FA could institute automatic relegation rather than docking points, but I'd imagine that would be so demoralizing to a team that it would likely go belly up. Don't forget, this is punishment for going into receivership and is meant to dissuade teams from racking up wage bills it can't cover. Thirty points sent a clear message, but at least Luton still have something to play for.Spectatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538465229235984534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-46472817955739867632009-01-16T11:27:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:27:00.000-05:00If they survive, does the FA get egg on their face...If they survive, does the FA get egg on their face?EbullientFatalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502420022767098791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-27552502256036156122009-01-16T10:55:00.000-05:002009-01-16T10:55:00.000-05:00Funny thing is, 2 of Luton's best players are Norw...Funny thing is, 2 of Luton's best players are Norwich loanees, Chris Martin and Michael Spillane. There has been more than 1 cry from Carrow Road to recall Spillane, but they'll let him stay at Luton. Martin cannot be recalled.Kopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633719975181428907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-11188487950466072582009-01-16T10:38:00.001-05:002009-01-16T10:38:00.001-05:00As long as none of those points come at the expens...As long as none of those points come at the expense of Exeter, than I wish Luton all the best!Spectatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538465229235984534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-64542853517622355222009-01-16T10:38:00.000-05:002009-01-16T10:38:00.000-05:00Table, figuring in exact points per game so far:Gr...Table, figuring in exact points per game so far:<BR/><BR/>Grimsby 28<BR/>Luton Town 27.5<BR/>Bournemouth 27.16<BR/><BR/>So, there's still work to do for these two.
