Putting aside the lack of recompense for debtors, I'm not so sure it's a bad thing. Talk of a consortium still interested. Toronto are nailed on for promotion this year, so take the 12 point hit this year and start with a clean slate financially, rebuild for next year.Of course, if no one steps in, it's bad, but if there is going to be administration, this is the year for it, with Toronto likely to win the league.
But there's always going to be admin in sport, because it's such a gamble, particularly with relegation back. Cut your cloth and all that, but all businesses invest and project on the basis of growth, and some businesses just don't grow as projected. And because their players had so little fight last year, and their lack of fight was woeful, their business has shrunk.
