The Wages Cap is Dead

Story on the Oxford Mail site.

All very sensible except for Mick Brown's attributed comments:
I saw the Deloitte Touche report recently that 40 clubs - Oxford United of course being one of them - have gone into administration since Aldershot did in 1992. That is quite some number.
When did Oxford United go into administration? We had a CVA but never went into administration.

Are you sure we didn't go into administration Mark? It would be unusual to have a cva without being in administration.

I would hope that if our Club Sec said it, as well as being listed in a DT publication, then it would be correct.

Apparently we also won a major trophy in the 80's and played in the top division...

I remember us also taking on the giants of Europe, when we qualified for that competition too. Oh, hang on... bloody Scousers.

I will get the ball rolling with
1) Aldershot
2)

I read that and thought exactly the same. We didn't go in to administration.

Wrong. It is NOT unusual to have a CVA without an administration. Particularly for smaller compnaies.

More misquoting by the Mail I'd say. As per.

Well I've never come across one in 22 years, but then again I rarely have dealings with dodgy companies who can't pay their bills :wink: so if you say it's so, I'm happy to accept it.

What Mick Brown probably meant was that the club was subject
to a formal insolvency procedure back in 1999.
