Salisbury City have been told they cannot play in the Football Conference next season.
League rules state that any club which enters administration during the course of a season must pay all creditors in full by the second Saturday in May.
The Whites have failed to do this and are expected to appeal against the decision, which will leave them in the Southern Premier League at best.
Relegated Forest Green will be reprieved if City are demoted.
Salisbury finished 12th this season after having 10 points deducted.
Forest Green manager Dave Hockaday declined to comment on the announcement to BBC Radio Gloucestershire as it has not yet been ratified by the Football Association.
