      I don't believe that the points will be deducted if RBS call in the debt as it is the loan that has been defaulted on not the agreed payments to date. Default does not always mean insolvent. I have many clients who are asset rich but cash poor.
      If the bank calls in your house over which it has a mortgage it does not always mean that you will be made bankrupt.
      RBS will merely take control of the asset they have charged and then allow Broughton to complete the sale.
      The only area of small concern is if the club is sold at a clearly undervalued price disadvantaging other creditors/shareholders there may be some flak but then RBS would have to deal with that as they controlled the sale. It would not be th clubs problem

      But it is a myth

      Quote from:  Guardian.co.uk Liverpool will not face a Premier League deduction should the club's American owners' company, Kop Holdings, enter administration next week.

      There have been suggestions that if Tom Hicks and George Gillett block a £300m takeover for the club by New England Sports Ventures, owners of the Boston Red Sox baseball team, then their holding company would be put into administration by the Royal Bank of Scotland over unpaid debts of £280m.

      That would not, however, lead to an automatic points deduction – the Premier League have clarified the rules regarding parent companies so that if the club itself is a fully solvent entity, as Liverpool is, then the penalty clause should not apply.

      A Premier League source said: "The aim of the regulations is primarily to capture clubs who have gone into insolvency. This is manifestly not the case with Liverpool Football Club." Last year West Ham United's Icelandic owners went into administration but it did not lead to any Premier League action as the club itself was solvent.

      Prospective owners are obliged to give the league 10 days notice of a takeover and prove they have the funds to sustain the club. Any prospective owners need to have a face-to-face meeting with Premier League management to convince them they have enough money for the season to come.

      Thanks to a combination of the Dallas injunction and the general negligence and incompetence of Broughton and that treacerous piece of scum Purslime it looks increasingly like administration and a nine point deduction.

      Sprinkle in a generous dusting of Uncle Roy's magic and we look like prime relegation prospects.

      Earlier today I thought the Mill Financial bid might just get us off the hook by avoiding administration but it seems even that was a forlorn hope.

      Can't see Torres staying this summer and even Pepe has been making noises to Real.

      At least when we're worth £50 SOS/Share Liverpool should be able to buy the club.

      ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT NECESSARILLY MEAN POINTS DEDUCTION.The club is solvent and paying its bills do we actually want a 9 point deduction it would seem some would.RBS will not put us into Administration whilst there is a good chance of us being sold and getting all thier money back.

      Have you read the Premier League rules regarding insolvency?

      And the rules about when the 9point penalty can be waived?  I still think it extremely doubtful that under our circumstances administration would equal a penalty.

      I'd take -9 points penalty and adminstration with a quick sale to NESV thant stay any more day with the tumors in charge, our squad is too good to be relegated and the penalty may make the players and Roy unite and get their act together so they avoid relegation
