That's a South African site, just illustrating how noticed we were on Friday


For those wanting to know more about the context of the article, basically England, India and Australia have embarked on a carve-up of revenues by forming an exclusive "Big 3". They intend to introduce promotion and relegation, but with those three nations immune from relegation. This has understandably annoyed the South African's seeing as they are comfortably the best side in the world-but with less TV revenues than the "Big 3".

Some inaccuracies but good.

This is the best bit.

It was a simple gesture, but it was one which mattered. Fans are the lifeblood of any sport. Without fans there will be no ticket sales and no eyeballs on TV and, as a result, nobody to sell the product to. Yet fans are far too often taken for granted.

Great find Nonleague..... The bit I thought was class was this "Coventry spent 34 years in the top flight but, like so many other teams taken over by people who haven’t got a clue what they’re doing, they’ve fallen from grace.

The only thing that could have made the article better was if they had told the reader that the maladministration was masterminded by Joy Seppala boss of SISU a rather disliked Mayfair Hedge fund.

Yes, that bit did make me laugh. Made me think of Blackburn and Pompey too.
