    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    The whole system needs a big shake up. I'd get rid of agents and have it all done by the PFA, fixed squad sizes, salary floor and cap, no fees for loans, greater revenue sharing. Something has to give at some point. The tipping point will be when Sky start losing subscribers as they've pushed...

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    Not sure what you're point is there unless you're agreeing that money is being put in as that shows a deficit of over £22m on transfers since the Russian turned up! Exactly and then having sold everything the inevitable relegation follows unless someone else comes along who will pump millions...

    Attendance Vs. Wigan

    All clubs have parking as FL regulations require parking be provided for directors, players, officials, press etc. Of course that doesn't mean every club has them but many do. Even HR had a car park opposite the ticket office. Our issue is we have to pay ACL to use the car park so again rather...

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    That's definitely someone putting money in! Share issues aren't really a problem, the loans would be of more concern. What happens if and when he gets bored and decides he wants his money back?

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    They had a £17m wage bill in the Championship on an average attendance of 9K, 2K less than we need this season to fund our L1 squad! Those signings are from the last 3 seasons so include signings made in L1. If they haven't had money pumped in how have they not gone bust when they've been...

    I get a feeling the graph is going to be making an appearance again soon.

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    Wilson was £3m wasn't he, Rantie was about £2.5m, Tomlin £3.5m, Gradel, £7m and Mings £8m. Think the only player they've sold in the last few years for a fee was the £3m they got for Grabban. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32611521

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    Didn't the Russian buy a house near the chairman or something odd like that and it led to him pumping money in.

    Qpr

    Looks like the fine is going to be reduced from £58m to under £10m. What's the point of having the FFP rules in the first place?

    We can't afford to be a Championship club?

    There's two issues. Firstly self sufficiency. Its hard to argue against clubs being run in this way but no club operates in isolation so when you have a club that is working on the basis of self sufficiency it is very hard for them to compete at Championship or PL level for the simple reason...

    Attendance Vs. Wigan

    It should be possible for us to get out of this division, I think most people accept that. There are some things we do know, we know we have a budget in the top third of the league, the trust have seen evidence of this, and we know that to achieve that we need an average attendance of 11K. That...

    Care Workers Face Abuse Charges for discussing things happening

    If the council were confident in their actions standing up to scrutiny why would there be an issue with people discussing them? Seems to be a trend from the current council, Ricoh deal done in secret and refuse to release any details, combined authority not being put to a referendum. Not a good...

    Dominic Samuel

    Hopefully nothing too serious. Although Reading fans were commenting on twitter that he looked to be in a lot of pain. If he's out for a few weeks does that help TM get him or not?

    Should just stop all this kicking it out rubbish and go with the actual rules. If play needs to be stopped let the ref do it and restart with a proper dropped ball.

    http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9930438/the-offside-rule-change-explained-with-the-help-of-a-referee Says the difference is if an offside player attempts to make contact with the ball it will be offside if he touches it or not. Is that actually a change? Surely attempting to touch...
