Re: Shrewsbury big loss

Sadly, I disagree with your last viewpoint on the health of the English game.... ... Agents demands are slowly destroying the financial viability of many Clubs below the Premier League, and those who manage a brief spell in the top tier. Sorry but Agents fees are just another cost of doing business...

Re: England Shirt - Coloured Cross

The FA are solely to blame for signing off the design. Nike would have put it forward as a suggestion but it is up to the customer, i.e. the FA who has to approve it. They should be hauled over the coals on the pricing. They should have insisted that the pricing was similar to other football shirts,...

Re: Quelle Surprise

I blame the increase of American ownership of PL clubs and the desire to control the sport like American football. They prefer the insular selfish approach to sport, hence the lack of interest in the EFL. I am sure that if they had their way, they would do away with promotion and relegation.

Re: League One - clubs in crisis

I'm ambivalent to Reading's plight. On one hand, they're clearly being diddled by someone who should never have been allowed to take ownership of the club. On the other - they're surviving because in the summer they were able to apparently blow Cambridge out of the water wage wise to sign Sam Smith...
