    It will be interesting to see what happens with Girona as their biggest shareholder is CFG, City Football Group, which also owns Manchester City.
    I believe that UEFA rules stop two clubs owned by the same person/company from participating in the same competitions, so it could see Girona losing CFG’s backing.

    Yeah, I did notice we were in a different time zone, I think we get different stories on the Beeb that’s why I’m asking. Not sure if it’s the same with sport but def get international news over domestic.

    They use a different map of the UK to most of us. Probably they’re not sure where it is?

    Totally agree about the women’s football being given so much prominence at the expense of the Championship. But hey, if we make it back to the PL, don’t forget we’ll never beat any of the top clubs, they will lose against us and that will be the discussion as to why they did. Remember the Lineker last comment on such a match which was, ‘we ought to mention that Southampton played well and took their chances, our next match features……,,,,,,’

    22% of those goals were conceded across three matches, the two against Leicester and the Game at the SOL.

    Being backed by a big investor helps, unlike Bilbao whose entire team comes from the País Vasco región of Spain and France!

    He will always be judged against the Brussels Scouts… and so this only makes good.
