CLUB chairmen, including York City's Steve Beck, were expecting a stormy Football League AGM today with several controversial proposals on a radical agenda that could lead to a major shake-up in the professional game.
The two main proposals likely to cause division concern punishing clubs who go into administration to escape debts, and expanding the play-offs from four to six clubs.
Some sanction is likely to be agreed for clubs who call in the administrators, probably a deduction of six points, but the issue of the play-offs is expected to divide chairmen at the meeting at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium.
