From Martin Samuel’s column today:

“It is the time of year when football clubs
publish their annual financial results and there
is some interesting reading.
The parent company of one ambitious League
Two side lost £91,000 a week in 2020-21, have
total losses of more than £15million since it
was set up in 2015 and liabilities of more than
£19m.
Wages are now running at £143 for every £100
of income, one investor is owed £12.5m and
gates average little more than 2,000, the lowest
of the 92 clubs.
Of course, this is exactly the sort of set-up
that makes many advocate the need for a
government regulator. Financial doping, they
call it.
Not me. I believe the owners of football clubs
should invest as they wish, as long as the
money is a gift, not a loan. But Gary Neville,
and others, want this Conservative government
to place a firmer hand on football's tiller.
So it should be interesting if the regulator ever
looks at the above-mentioned club - because
it's Salford City, where Neville is co-owner.”

Shows what a two-faced twat Neville is. The **** is completely devoid of any credibility. Thought I couldn’t hate him any more than I already did. I was wrong. Bravo Martin for flagging up his double standards.

i wouldn’t recognise Stone if I fell over him but if he does attend and someone can pinpoint him, I would be happy to twat the ****. I always assume this pond life is in the media section on CB L1, I hope someone finds him him and twats him.

Ha ha. It’s like a rat in a trap eating it’s own leg to escape. It’s about time £Alford FC got a bit of attention.

Fuck me you'd think they'd won the league for the last 10 years running. God I hate the fucking dippers and their scummy fans

When you have Norway, Ireland, Wales, the Far East, London, the Home Counties, and only 7000 Liverpool seaon ticket holder with Liverpool postcodes voting for them, anything is possible in a poll vote.

I think many Hibs fans, or certainly their ‘Casuals’ element, claim some sort of affiliation to our ‘neighbours’ from outside the city limits?
But met fans of both Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee teams over years plus many smaller clubs. Aberdeen fans seem to be the most common visitors in my experience though

Most of the remnants of the Hibs Casuals are close to picking up up their pensions. Not much has been seen of them since since the late 1980s.

I have been living in Edinburgh for many years and have seen absolutley nothing of the mythical Hibs Casuals. The nearest came sometime in the early 1990s when we went to a Hibs-Rangers match. When we got back home my Mother asked about the 'trouble' that was all over the TV.

It turns out that the Hibs Casuals arranged a pre-match confrontation with the Rangers' firm at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange. This is nowhere near Easter Road and in fact is where the coaches would unload prior to Hearts home matches.

As Hearts were, obviously, away that weekend, there would be no police presence, No-one who was at the match at Easter Road saw a thing but it was all over the media by the time we got home. I suspect that the Hibs Casuals tipped off the press about the staged confrontation?
