Sadly, the attitudes and opinions have never gone away. I doubt they ever will. It is now easier and more acceptable to voice them.

Madness.
I was also reading that Kemar Roofe had to suffer racist abuse and comments on social media.
Society really is going backwards at the moment with online racial abuse seemingly being so easy to do and get away with.
That game was ill tempered through out so can't say I'm surprised, the challenge from Roofe on their keeper was nothing short of a disgrace though and left their keeper in a right state. |

It was and he deserves to be pulled up for making it, but it certainly doesn't excuse some of the disgusting racial slurs he has had to take since it happened. |

The L1 list for the amount club’s paid agents fees
We had a modest £21,600 spend
The piss stains were at nearly £300,000.
Yikes!

Those losses are so eye watering I had to go and check if they had been in the Prem recently and I had missed it!
Any idea what is going on there?

What caught my eye were wages being over 200% of revenue. What happens if the owners do a Wigan and pull out?

That's true of... almost all football clubs though. Startlingly few are viable businesses, even before COVID kicked matchday income in a ditch. Almost all rely on owners to fund, certainly at Championship level. |

While Reading do stand out, the Championship generally is massively overspending, IIRC the average is around 140% of revenue spent on wages. It's beyond ridiculous. |

So what’s happened to FFP?
You just get around it by selling your ground to yourself. Or just break it, win promotion and pay the fine, aka the Eddie Howe fairytale. |

And a sustainable club (if that's CM's aim) is likely to be operating at a level between NL and L2 . |

Isn’t that what has got Derby into trouble? Overvaluing their ground. |
