But they should change the rules for the future, as it's usually clubs close to relegation that end up in administration anyway, so if they are serious about discouraging clubs declaring bankruptcy, then they need to fix it. After all, Leeds were only certain for the drop on the last day, but some years teams are virtually certain by Christmas and definitely certain with a number of games to go (Watford knew with 7? I think this year.)

Of course, all that takes for granted that clubs going into administration needs extra punishing, but that's a complicated discussion for another day.
