After Leeds and Boston went into Admin in 2007 before the end of the season, the Football Association nipped it shut, by stopping clubs trying it again. In Leeds case they would lose 15 more the following season.
Leeds United filed for administration with only a few days remaining in the 2006–07 season, which automatically triggered a 10-point penalty. This placed Leeds at the bottom of the table and relegated the club, but they were extremely likely to have been relegated anyway. By entering administration during the 2006–07 season, they hoped to avoid starting the 2007–08 season on −10 points. The following week, Boston United entered administration in the final minutes of a defeat to Wrexham which ensured they were relegated to the Football Conference, meaning they likewise avoided starting the following season on -10 points (though they would find themselves being double-relegated to the Conference North for unrelated reasons).The Football League saw both cases as clubs trying to exploit a loophole, and changed the rules.
From 2007–08, any club entering administration after the fourth Thursday in March would have their 10-point deduction suspended until the following season. If the club is relegated the points will be deducted from their tally at the start of next season. If the club stays up the 10 points will be taken off their final total.
That being said if Sunderland went into Admin now, they would lose 10 points next season regardless of what happened this season
