Bournemouth's administrator, Gerald Krasner, has predicted that the club will be forced to start life in League Two in August with minus 15 points.
The Football League will announce what penalty they will hand the club when the new consortium, fronted by chairman Jeff Mostyn, takes the Cherries out of administration.
Krasner said: "There are no hard and fast rules and it's all under consideration by the Football League.
"But, speaking personally and stating what I believe will happen, subject to a 16-point plan being accepted by the Football League, Bournemouth will indeed start next season with a 15-point penalty.
"There will be a number of conditions attached to that in respect of matters the new company will have to deal with. We're all waiting to find out what those terms and conditions are.
"I'd envisage that, if everything goes to the Football League for the July meeting, that we should be in a position to look at those sometime in the latter part of July."
