does all the Championship have goal line tech or just the teams that got relegated ? seems a tad unfair to those that don't have it Been in now for three years in the Championship. It was a bit of a farce in the first season because it didn’t work at Birmingham under floodlight but think that was r...

If you read an article by David Conn , Dale didn't pass the fit and proper test in December but still took over the ownership. The EFL punishment is a transfer embargo......... You would just hope the league will learn from their total incompetence. They have at least started by ridding themselves ...

I was advised that muesli is not a particularly healthy breakfast because of the amount of sugar even in the reduced sugar offerings. I was advised that corn flakes were even worse. I'll stick with my porridge.

You might not like it but it's a serious point. Is it better for the club to go to the wall, cease to exist and all of the creditors lose out or for them to be bought and shifted elsewhere?

Games played on Sundays have to kick off at the same time as one of the Live TV games. So either 2pm or 4.30pm. Last season when we played on Sundays because of our Europa games we played at the earlier kick off times. Presume Wolves wanted to kick off later? Not much thought for fans having to tra...

indeed, but looking at the figures the population in Burnley in the early fifties was around 85k so not massively more.

What release clause?

ClaretTony

How would he be screwing them over? I read this a lot about players. A footballer has every right to whatever he wants. If he signs a contract and stays for the duration and chooses to leave that’s his right. He owes the football club nothing. That’s spot on. We’ve moved on from the days when playe...

The issue with pricing it to suit your club is when the secret is let “ out of the bag” like a few years ago when Karen Brady went public with our refusal to agree to a lower price for the FA Cup tie Can only assume you mean the 5th round of the FA Cup in 2011 - the only time we've played against K...

I expect he had a release clause value just like I assume our 2 had and that none were met. That's how it works. No it doesn't work like that, does on occasions with some players but generally not.

And if it was Phillips then he made it clear that Leeds didn't want to sell. Similar to us I suppose with Tarky and McNeil for whom we clearly received offers. Should we have sold them just as Leeds should have sold Phillips?
