swansea boss has gone and opened his big gob about our administration ahead of tuesday nights game...
Quote:
“SWANSEA CITY boss Paulo Sousa has lit the fuse on Tuesday’s trip to Crystal Palace by insisting the cash-starved Eagles should be relegated from the Championship.
Palace’s slide into administration has seen the club deducted 10 points and forced to sell teenage star Victor Moses to Wigan for £2.5m.
The points deduction suddenly plunged play-off chasing Palace into a relegation battle – but Sousa believes the punishment does not fit the crime.
And, with the two camps at loggerheads over Albert Serran’s contentious red card in the goalless draw at the Liberty Stadium six weeks ago, Sousa’s comments will up the ante ahead of the Selhurst Park rematch.
“In England the (financial) rules are there for everyone to see and it is important to follow these rules,” said Sousa.
“They give respect to everyone in football who is honest and trying to do his best. Losing points is unfair for the players and the manager, but it’s also unfair for the other clubs who are working very hard to deal with contracts and other things.
“In other countries – and it is my opinion also – I would like to see not to take 10 points off, but to automatically relegate because it’s unfair on the other clubs.””
