    Pub landlady Karen Murphy wins TV football court case

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17150054 So could this drop clubs further into debt, similar to when money clubs were spending money, which disappeared upon the collapse of ITV Digital. Given the choice will a pub pay £700 per month or £800 per year possibly less if they shopped around?

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    What the hell is going on. I thought if you went into admin you were in a transfer embargo, or at the very least under a one way embargo. E.G. No players in, but you were allowed players out to bring money in. Pompey seal loan deal for Scottish midfielder. Pompey have signed midfielder Scott...

Bear in mind that Adams had just orchestrated the highest league finish since 1989, albeit in the Championship (eighth). 'I didn't think we were far off. Only what happens? We lose Gary...
