He can fuck off

 

[The Bear]

This is a great story. Shame he died so young.

[Paddingtonwolf]

I never realised he had been at Stenny before. It's an interesting read and he is a big loss, especially at such a terribly young age.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

From the Times (just sounds like an excuse for Leeds and co to join a PL2 really)

EFL deal with Sky signed.

Those few clubs are full of shit, you can't try that tactic when there are no other bids on the table!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Radrizzani is quite the piece of work, clearly. Leeds were MASSIVE. We all know that. In terms of TV companies they are now merely the biggest draw of their lowest level product. Sorry, but that's the way of things. Same for the B6 massive too.

Mind the gap.

 

[Tony Towner]

They are meeting next week to discuss their next move. We know from our own experience what it's like to be one of the bigger sides in the Championship and having your fixtures moved left right and centre but I hope they fail, because it's something the PL 6 would love to try.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They haven't got a leg to stand on now. It's dead.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

£30.1M loss for the Clayheads. Good luck with FFP if they miss the promotion boat this season.

Do we still think FFP exists in a practical rather than theoretical sense? Blues are yet to be sanctioned, Villa are willfully ignoring it or cut a deal.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We'll find out about Villa in March. If they escape then the whole thing might as well be consigned to the bin in the EFL. Slightly different for us, as clearly there are UEFA sanctions available if you blow FFP up in order to qualify for Europe, and they at least have been used.

 

[Kenny]

Tipped people off about going to Albion apparently and they backed it. If he hadn't have done, nobody would have noticed.

Clearly doesn't like one of his cousins though

"One of Daniel Sturridge’s cousins lost £10,000 on a bet that the Liverpool striker would join Inter Milan in January"

FIFA ethics judge, Sundra Rajoo, arrested on suspicion of corruption.

Definition of irony.

 

[Keef]

Coventry City owners sisu going back to court to appeal the judgement of the last court case about how the council sold the Ricoh arena for less than its true worth,wasps(the new owners) won't deal with sisu over ground sharing while legal action is ongoing,looking likely Coventry will be without a home ground shortly

 

[Donegal Wolf]

We have all been there, big game at the weekend and struggling for numbers due to players unavailable, "if only we could get the game postponed"

Well Ballybrack FC in the Leinster Senior League came up with a balderick style cunning plan

OMFG wow....

 

[Langers]

How does that even happen?!

They must have got the idea from "the Stephen Ireland book of excuses"

He must be a consultant for them

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

England have to be pretty happy with their draw. Not too bad for Wales either.
