Its the EFL not the FA, it shows what modern football has come down to when theres more talk of this than the team etc, boardroom matters rarely had to be discussed back in the day, sad really.

Â Or is the new football fan of the 21st century someone who is a fan of a club but doesn't actually support them. Lol at new age fan, I was watching football in Sheffield when both clubs were in Div 1 and both Liverpool teams were in Div 2. As far as physical support is concerned, that is not so easy when you have lived 3500 miles away for the last 38 years. I do take in a game ,however, when I come over during the season.

Anyway despite the plight of our club us Wednesday fans will still follow our team points deducted or whatever, we always have done, always of the belief that sooner or later we will put 'dem Blades' back in the place they belong as the 2nd club in this city, an afterthought with little or no story, formed to make use of a cricket ground ..... enjoy your moment ! Bitterness? That post stinks of it! 😂  But I'll leave you to never think or speak about the Blades like a true Wednesday fan! Oh wait... 😂  It's really hurting isn't it? Edited December 6, 2019 by Moistened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A 21 point deduction would write off any chances of success this season and may well even prove costly......  Which begs the question.....  Thousands of fans dogged deep into pockets in the summer, only to be let down by the boardroom antics of the club. Many of these fans coughed up in hope of success, any points deduction would ensure that they dont get this.  Should fans have to stand for monies paid and see out a potential "nothing season". This isn't a dig in the slightest, I am a football fan and I will always fight for the football fan. We work hard for our money and the sport exploits us enough as it is....  Should season tickets be refunded?   The parachute payments to relegated clubs from the Sky League are a  bigger issue than owners putting their own money into clubs . If that is not an unfair advantage then what is . Edited December 8, 2019 by TomMix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Until clubs can get players to accept a massive cut to their wages if they are relegated then parachute payments are here to stay.  Championship clubs actually voted in favour of the P & S rules that are supposed to be in place to protect clubs from losing too much money.

I haven't got a problem with parachute payments as such but it shouldn't count towards the club's p+s rules. Maybe put aside by the league incase the relegated club is struggling but if a club can't afford to keep high earners they should be sold, like we had to when we didn't get anything for going down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Some players with no ambition are quite  happy to drop down a division and play the remainder of their contract out whilst picking up daft amounts of money and there's nothing the clubs can do about it other than pay the players contracts up.

TomMix   0 #119 Posted December 12, 2019 The Owls have been mentioned as one of the clubs that could be in big financial trouble on radio 5 this morning , the puzzling thing is that  if the EFL left them alone they would not have a  problem .
