Again. And again. And again. Seriously, you seem to be some sort of serial gullible idiot... Jack it in, fella.

Was "Black or White" a song about photocopiers?

There's a radical idea.

Dear Mr Nice, Please stop wasting my time. Regards, PA to Ric Traynor.

I'm sure you 2 are more experienced and would have done a better job than the UK's 15th largest accountancy firm and 5th largest law firm.

Don't forget to post a copy of your letter on here, will you. That goes for both Mr Nice and Scudamore.

lolz.

fixed.

Oh the irony - it was because of Saints that I got into the heroin...

Brian Robson's son/rhythmic gymnastics. Am I close?

Member clubs have already said they don't want it. Member clubs won't vote to introduce it. Even if they did, it wouldn't be enforceable. Next?

What more can the Football League do to discourage clubs from spending money that they simply cannot afford?

No it didn't - but we don't know how many other clubs have taken care to ensure that the same doesn't happen to them... Not sure that the the Football League can carry a huge portion of the blame for the explosion of wealth in the the Premier League or the massive gap in finance between the 2 leagues give that the old Div1 clubs broke away from the FL to form the Prem. The FA have to carry the can for allowing that and for not ensuring a more equal distribution of wealth for the good of the entire professional game in England.

That kicks off one giant game of chicken. Who will blink first to stop the club disappearing, the Football League or Pinnacle? Or neither...

If someone had that much money to play with I think they'd find it pretty easy to employ someone who satisfied one or both of the criteria, no?

If you can't service your debt, you're screwed. If you can, you're untouchable. Just like any other business.

Isn't administration brilliant?

Imposing financial penalties on clubs already in administration is never going to be much of a winner.

I'm not going to count but it would be interesting to know. It would also be interesting to count those who have found themselves in admin because of either relegation from the Prem, ITV Digital or a "sh1t or bust" gamble on instant success...

And I must be imaging all those that aren't. Plenty of clubs are able to survive and thrive in the football league without the need to stake their futures on immediate success.

Well that's simply untrue.

Not really - the rule is there to discourage clubs from over-stretching themselves financially and to attempt to ensure the long term health and survival of the clubs.

Quite.

Sounds like he's driving a tractor...

We could have a Saturday evening prime-time TV show on BBC1 "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Right-Back?"
