Not how I read the fl rules crash re administration. Here's an extract as to how the deduction is applied based on date of admin. 4th Thursday in March is the relevant date:
"a)during the Normal Playing Season but prior to 5.00pm on the fourth Thursday in March, the points deduction shall apply immediately;
b)during the Normal Playing Season but after 5.00pm on the fourth Thursday in March, Regulation 12.3.4 shall apply; and
c)outside the Normal Playing Season, the points deduction shall apply in respect of the following Season such that the Club starts that Season on minus 12 points (including in the National League if appropriate).
12.3.4
Where the circumstances set out in Regulation 12.3.3(b) apply and at the end of that Season, having regard to the number of championship points awarded (ignoring any potential deduction):
a)to the Club would be relegated in accordance with Regulation 10.1.2(b) or 7.7, the points deduction will apply in the next following Season (including in the National League if appropriate); or
b)the Club would not be relegated as aforesaid, the points deduction will apply in that Season and Regulation 10.1.2(b) or 7.7 will then apply (if appropriate) following imposition of the points deduction."
In summary:
1. Admin before 5pm on 4th Thursday in March = immediate 12 point deduction
2. Admin after that time/date and if the club would have been relegated even without the points deduction = 12 points deduction following season
3. Admin after that time/date and the club would not be relegated without a points deduction = 12 points deduction at the end of the season and, if this puts the club into a relegation position, they will be relegated (if not - they stay up)
