Whats wrong with football?

[Reg Smeeton]

This story encompasses two things I hate in football.....Paul Scally (who on this occassion is right) and player wages.......

This is partly the reason that when we are linked for a player and a Championship team are also linked then there is a 99% likelihood he will join the higher divisional team and not for footballing reasons. (understandably so too)

This has been the case for a good few years now, but yes, it will only get worse.  It's an interesting stat that the Championship is the 4th highest attended league in Europe.....bested by the Prem. Budesliga and La Liga.  Given that Newcastle and Villa have come down, must be a chance that it might outdo La Liga this year.

Obviously the amount of money Manure are spunking on Pogba

but.............if they sold him to Juve in the first place do they have a sell on % which they'll get as some sort of cashback deal ??

Yeah it does all look a bit financially suspect.

Similarly they are dancing on the streets of Barnsley today......

Don't think they got a penny for Pogba

I don't begrudge them that - just jealous that it never happens to us - all we get is a Mars Bar and a Kevin Keegan tracksuit.

Fees of over £1m have been quoted, although the fee they have paid for him now also seems to be dropping suggesting that the Man Utd PR machine is trying to make it look like a better deal!

 I trust Barnsley have a nice sell on for John Stones....world gone mad.

They're picking up between 7 and 9 million according to the Beeb.  Hence the "dancing in the streets of Barnsley" comments above.

Of course Burton went up... Net average with Bolton, Charlton and Franchise going down and Wigan and Barnsley going up with Burton should see a slight drop between those.
