I see that Swindon and their owner Lee Power have been charged by the FA over financial irregularities (again). I remember them being relegated over similar issues a good number of years ago. Reading their forum, the general feeling is that this is much worse because it is connected to agents having a financial “interest” in the club. Their fans are certain that the guilty verdict is around the next corner and they expect either a Luton style heavy points deduction or expulsion from the EFL.
The link to their forum is Thetownend.com

Wasn't do long ago they were referred to as "Swindle" on this forum. Another club that's had a history of living beyond its means and achieving success through spending money they haven't got but also quick to get the collection bucket out and tug on the heart strings. Can't say that I'll be crying into my beer if they do suffer a points deduction. Probably the best year for this to happen anyway to be honest given they're struggling anyway.

I think if they are relegated this season, any sizeable points deduction would take effect next season. Depending on the outcome, there is a very real risk of expulsion from the EFL. Could that save Southend or Grimsby?

With the news of Colchester possibly facing a points deduction it's getting confusing. Would be surprised if there are more clubs about to go into administration
