If they go into admin, don’t all the players become free agents immediately?

No they won't there's nothing to relocate.
The players(most of them) will find other clubs so basically there's nothing left to relocate.

There isnt a stadium in Liverpool to accomodate them , not going to happen , they might have wanted to ' relocate ' in name only

So to avoid the potential to have this happen to us ? , we need to build our fan base , it is our primary income stream

So we have a hard core base of 3K, that will probably trickle up a little come the fair weather fans. If and that’s a big IF we can continue to be competitive. Just how can you increase the fan base?

All the ideas when in SL could only up that hard core a couple of thousand but we still see the same stagnant marketing approach now.

Lots of motivation missing and it tells. If you want to sell a coach seat give em incentive to buy it. Or just carry on along the same path.

Short of people who can think out of the box, everyone is set in their ways.

Any player's contract that could potentially attract a transfer fee will be classed as a saleable asset by the administrators.

I am particularly thinking Gelling, Inu and Liam Hood. All player wages have been received and are in their bank accounts is my understanding.
