Darlington make players and coaches redundant Darlington's administrator made all the club's playing and coaching staff redundant with immediate effect yesterday. Earlier this month the club went into administration for the third time in three years, leaving them with a 10-point deduction. The joint administrator, Harvey Madden, made the announcement yesterday afternoon, although he also suggested that there were interested potential investors in the club. "Given the current financial position of the club and, as a consequence of my legal obligations," he said, "I have had no alternative but to terminate the contracts of all playing staff and the retained administration staff. However, at this stage I have still not received any formal offers and, unless a deal is concluded as a matter of urgency, time will have run out for Darlington Football Club. The departing caretaker-manager, Craig Liddle, said there were ongoing attempts to field a team for Saturday's home match against Fleetwood Town.
