After a bit of digging this morning I found out that Scunthorpe sold Ryan Loft to Bristol Rovers in January and would receive a 50k bonus if Rovers got promoted!
50k doesn’t sound a lot, but to Scunthorpe it’s probably a life saver in the National League.

They should be fined 55k for throwing a game, it is disgusting for anybody connected to Northampton.

Bristol City too, even moreso.

Bristol is about the size of Liverpool. How they’ve not got a big football club from that city is beyond me.

Don't you get fined for that in the PL?

Sure teams got into trouble for fielding understrength teams.

But saying all of that, in a game where one team needs the other team to get promoted for their own financial gain and that team needs to win 7-0 to do it and the score ends up 7-0 is going a little bit beyond the pale, don't you think?

Reeks of cheating to me.
