Sacked by Derby. I've not paid attention to the Championship this season, had no idea they were bottom.
Many of the biggest clubs in world football now appear to be in the Championship. SWFC, NFFC, DCFC Massively deluded, massively in debt, massively mis-owned and massively underachieving.
BBC Captain Wayne Rooney and coaches Shay Given, Liam Rosenior and Justin Walker will oversee first-team training before a permanent successor is appointed. The Rams are also close to a takeover after chairman Mel Morris agreed a deal in principle with Abu Dhabi-based consortium Derventio Holdings (UK) Limited. The company is led by Sheikh Khaled bin Saquer Zayed Al Nayhan, a cousin of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour, and a new manager will not be appointed until the takeover is completed. The deal is understood to be worth £60m, but the EFL is yet to confirm the change of ownership.
£60m for a debt riddled club with liabilities enough to make Bill Gates sweat? At least Mel Morris is ****ing off. The ****.
Yet another club showing that if you actually want to do a deal for a takeover, you can make it happen.
The Championship is seriously ****ed. They rejected salary caps, most clubs spending well beyond their means. We’re not sure when fans will return for those clubs. It wouldn’t surprise me if they do a u-turn on the introduction of salary caps. The game is out of control with finances.
