If we lost the license it would be relegation to the A championship rather than first division. With our contract commitments a 5 month season would see us in the same mess as last season but we would go straight to liquidation this time.

I'd imagine with the situation the club was in that they had the foresight to put clauses in the player's contracts that they could be ripped up if the club were to drop to the A Championship. You don't have any debts though as far as I'm aware so the players contracts would be the only thing that could get you into trouble?

I've no clue. I just know that some clubs were pushing hard for something along those lines. Thinking back on it, I don't even remember whether ANYTHING was agreed
