The 24 clubs in the Championship apparently have a total of £1bn debt between them

To be fair, at least £900m of that is Bournemouth. Probably

Does make you wonder if trying to get there is worth the effort (and cost).

Be interesting to see if Yeovil, as a club, benefitted by their brief stay or whether Bmuff will end up as another Bristol City - chucking money at the lure of the PL, only to sink back to their origins saddled with debt.

Don't forget QPR, as widely reported their wage bill in the Championship is bigger than Dortmand's

Added to the squad costing more than Athletico's. Kind of the definition of "spunking money up a wall". Seriously though, their squad is silly, every time I think "This player wasn't bad in 2005 or so, I wonder what they're doing now?" the answer is QPR - SWP, Luke Young, Jermaine Jenas, Assou Ekotto, Richard Dunne, Yossi Benayoun, Joey Barton, Andy Johnson, Kevin Doyle, Aaron Hughes, Bobby Zamora, Gary O'Neill, the list goes on and on like a weird England B team from 2008.

Charlie is about the only one of their players who could be accused of being in his prime.

Employ Redknapp as a manager and that's what you get. I'd like to think he has the words "Spunking money up a wall since 1986" emblazoned on a heraldic ribbon round a thick brown envelope rampant as his personal coat of arms. But the journos love him so he can do no wrong.

Joey Barton,

Good intelligent player. He must be, he's a question time guest on Thursday. With Pier Morgan. Oh.

My theory is that they are trying to appeal to Sun readers, whom we all know like a pair of tits

Thank god Real Madrid won, I get the impression that Clive Tyldesley was commentating wearing full Real Madrid kit so he may have cried if Athletico had won.

I'm not sure Piers Morgan appeals to Sun readers, more Clarkson hitting him yes...
