To the doubters of my excellent post - cast your mind back 20 or 30 years ago. If anyone had said that a franchisee team (MK Dons) would have been permitted by the Football League would have received the same "ee mate, that's a bunch of cobblers. Football fans would never allow that" remarks. In fact I'll go further than my last comment - due to the state of lower division clubs we will start to see clubs being more regional. For example Humberside, Cornwall, East Lancashire (after the Venky's have finished destroying Blackburn)
I'll make another comment - the 92 professional clubs will be reduced by a third minimum. We may see the bulk of the bottom 2 divisions becoming part-time.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if we ended up with twenty clubs in each league before too long, but I suspect it will be arrived at by natural wastage, there's definitely going to be a few clubs going to the wall over the next few years. More worrying... please log in to view this image
If they are thinking of changing the badge and/or name, they really should consider the fans' opinion. These sort of things should be asked with a vote on the site.
I still think they could've got a better image of a Tiger than one that looks like it's coming out of a camp wink. Something, you know, ferocious?
They'll wait til after the date where people can renew their passes at the lower price, then go "oh, and next year..." FACT-O-BANG.
