Dodgy deals, wrong uns and Belize....it's a heady mix.

I wonder how many others are in difficult situations.
A raft of cancellations in August if the covid numbers take off will put the cat among the pigeons for some.

You're right, Albie, and unfortunately we could be one of them.

Sorry to see a club like Swindon Town in such a mess.

No allegiance whatsoever to them but just shows once again what can happen to a club if it is run by the loonies who have escaped from the asylum.

Former League Cup Winners 1969 and in the top flight, was it the year before the Premier league started 1992/93 Glenn Hoddle manager.

Will they receive help from the EFL or will they be allowed to go to the wall like Bury.

Derby and others of a certain stature seem to be allowed to run themselves how they like. Break rules whenever they wish and escape almost any punishment that will deter them from re effending.

We probably know the answer. If Ridsdale gets anywhere near being the trouble shooter they are doomed. What a joke. Well it would be if it was funny.
