Should the FA rethink their rules on points deductions for going into administration?

As an Aldershot Town fan I know how difficult it is for lower league clubs to stay solvent. There are undoubtedly a number of clubs that could go under especially in the current economic climate. I think there is every danger that one of the lower leagues could find itself with half a dozen clubs or more with points deductions for going into administration.

    No. Clubs should do all that they can to live within their means. If that means going part time, that is not the end of the world, nor is relegation out of the Football League.

    In some other countries, administration can result in demotion by one or more divisions.

    i feel sorry for smaller clubs who get punished, but the rule is to allow fairness between all teams in making each club live within their means. So one team cant go spending money they dont have on new players which makes them better, while another team who conducts business properly is disadvantaged.

    I think it's a good idea because it stops teams from spoiling the English Leagues.
