Whats wrong with football?

I see that if Lidls don't get promoted their owner could take away his backing as he can't afford another season in the Championship.

From the paper report ?

The owner has already rubbished that
Looking at the current QPR score they seem to be doing their annual falling apart

Just for the record its the BBC gossip page, I would not visit the Mail page as I have no interest in how 'grown up' 12 year old girls are looking.....

"People said stuff that wasn't true and somebody damaged my property so I want out"

Madness. And to post it on the club site too?!

EFL allows Natalie Christopher (Owen Oyston's daughter) to attend meeting, despite her having been removed from the board by the receiver. Good job the future of the club wasn't on the agenda... oh wait...

They way the ELF are going about things, Duchatelet's request for them to acquire Charlton doesn't seem so farfetched.

Guardiola's pushing the "reserve teams in Football League" shit again. Excellent riposte in the Grauniad about why it doesn't even work in Spain:

Wow. Speaks volumes about the financial health of the game, interesting read. This should be on the "It could be worse thread"

I did wonder which thread to post it in TBH. But yes its a state.

EDIT.

In addition I read that today Boltons problems continue. Unpaid wages, players given the day off and apparently the training ground is closed due to lack of any food and fuel.

Its all down to the due diligence associated with Ken selling the club taking longer than expected*, although that merely reinforces the point that he doesn't have a pot to piss in and thus cannot even afford to pay the wages before he sells the club, he does seem to be a northern version of Jed hoping to make a quick buck without spending any of his own cash!

They also owe the old bill for policing plus are due back in court later this month with the HMRC again, its a total shit show.

* Although it also appears this weekend that the takeover has possibly fallen on its arse during the due diligence phase with the buyers walking away, so if Ken cannot even afford to pay people, and there appears to be little chance of a saviour it is looking shitty for them.
