Rotherham are relegated to League 1 after a 0-1 loss to Plymouth tonight

Got a £3m bonus for that

2 points!!! Wow

20 points would have been fucking better.

the demand to protect clubs from overspending can be traced back to Portsmouth, who in 2010 became the first - and so far only - Premier League club to go into administration after failing to find a buyer who would pay off spiralling debts of about £60m.

:smile::smile:

While I agree with the sentiment, realistically Everton are one of those clubs more or less immune to any sanction which might actually affect them. I’m convinced that the earlier deduction would never have been imposed if it had looked like it might put them down, and it was only reduced on appeal because that suddenly seemed not to be the case after all. This deduction is only for show, if they’d thought a proper sanction could have been given without risking a relegation directly because of it, they’d have imposed one.

Shouldn’t this wait until they are in the final??

I suppose they’re basing it on this.

Eventually
Saints v Bompey in the EPL is gonna get played in Singapore, or LA or…

Yep this is going to be as popular as the Super League

The yanks really do fuck up everything. Tickets prices are spiralling because of the American NFL / NBA / MLB owners buying up the clubs. They are used to charging big money for ticket prices. What they forget is that each of the US teams catchments is enormous and most people go for an occasion, not to every game.

Now we have this. The Manchester derby in New York will be the most soulless derby ever played.

makes you want to hark back to the halcyon days of the prawn sandwich brigade

It will be an “AI” bot no doubt…

Agree he is one of the best. Though he did jump ship from the Telegraph to go to the Times I think.
