... and in Other Football News

Gainsborough are denying any agreement exists for Scunny to play there, and state no one has contacted them to do so. Total **** show, I wish them all the luck going.

 

In the future the sale of Premier League TV rights will be grouped with EFL games too. A few more crumbs to be spread among the 3 lower leagues.

Straight out of the Allams playbook

Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri has released ANOTHER lengthy statement:

“I will not inject any more money into the club if I am being treated unfairly.

“Those fans who create trouble to the club and myself and believe that they are the real owner of the club need to be responsible for the financial matters of the club from now on.

“If they can take such financial responsibility to save the club and they believe that I am not the right owner, they may propose any buyer who I believe can operate the club for the benefit of all stakeholders going forward.”

 

I was talking to a big Wednesday fan on Tuesday and he was saying what a mess they are in and there are real concerns about the owner and what he is doing.

 

Yeah I know one who has a similar view

They’re losing £2m a month apparently

Mind you there’s limited options to get his money back.

Can’t slash players wages until transfer window and presumably selling would either be difficult or would lose money. (As would admin)

 

When we had well publicised problems with our owners their fans showed no solidarity, taking the piss is fine and expected of course but they really tried to denigrate us.

We had the last laugh that day and continue to do so.

 

So gone in 24 hours then

 

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch. **** em. Chansiri in

 

This 100%

 

Clingyshirtgate update

BBC Sport understands Villa had hoped to resolve the issue by this weekend but that has not been possible, and talks with kit manufacturer Castore remain at a delicate stage.

The new claret and blue home shirts are the worst affected, noticeably changing colour in games as they retain moisture and cling tightly to the chest.

The Telegraph reported Villa and Castore are discussing an early termination of their multi-year contract, but potentially only at the end of the season.

Villa manager Carla Ward said her players have "similar concerns" about the shirts as the men's team, but remain focused on Sunday's game, which is live on BBC Two and kicks off at 12:30 BST.

Ward said: "I think it was highlighted early in our pre-season from the men's side and backed up by the women's."

"As far as I'm concerned it's for the club and Castore to deal with," Ward added. "My focus has to be the weekend."

Earlier this week football commentator Jacqui Oatley said Villa's women's side were "dreading" wearing the "clingy" shirts.

"They've got four TV games coming up," said Oatley. "Normally they'd absolutely relish those games and look forward to them. But they're actually dreading it because they're really conscious about how they're going to look in this wet, clingy kit for obvious reasons."

@rovertiger don't forget your scientific research this Sunday

 

That'll be good for a month and a bit for Massive then...

Still dont stand the FFP thing but that must be good news for us...

 

same
**** them

 

Thank you for the reminder ST, i'll research the hell out of this.

 

One day Scunny..the day after it's FC Massive,,,,,,next...Chelsea????

 

You are welcome RT, but please remember, we need a professional scientific judgement. It is not like the Wet T-shirt contest you judged at Butlins.

 

In the scale of things between income for the Premier League clubs (inc those relegated with parachute payments) and clubs in the championship its crumbs. Even if it is an extra 3 million that doesn't even get you A single half decent player and his wages for a year.

 

Got my protractor, triangle and slide rule at the ready.
