True, regardless of how unsustainable they may have been though, it's well and truly f**ked their promotion chances, totally undermining the work they have been doing.

I'd far rather enter administration whilst in the automatic or play-off places than while in mid-table or relegation spots.

If anything, it makes all the work they've been doing on the pich all the more worthwile.

Saints could stay up because everybody else goes into admin
