I notice that post on the BBC website isn't open for comments.
wigan are being taken for a ride, some **** is making money on the misery of a football club and that affects lives, normal peoples lives ,childrens lives , and i read on here fuck em,they beat us up,they beat us in a cup final. football fans should stick together then these greedy ****s wouldnt be able to do what they want,i see people whinging about kick off times and fans not being thought of, you know why they take the piss ,because of the I'm all right jack and fuck the rest.
we have dived ourselves and we are easy to conquer , they do what they want and fuck the fans.
i think we are all guilty of fucking them off, hopefully this is the straw that breaks the camels toesTo be fair, when I said “fuck em” I didn’t realise the circumstances why, which are a disgrace.
if he's the last man(foul or no foul) how can that not be a red card?
Quite. Despite Conn's pious bleating in The Guardian, the PL bears no responsibility for the lower leagues failure to regulate themselves properly.I've never quite understood the idea that the Premier League should "do something". That's like arguing Sainsburys should subsidise every badly-run corner shop, including ones where the owner is a thief and an incompetent.
Surely lower league football should be structured in a way where clubs don't/can't go out of business, and a key element of that is preventing their sale to spivs.
If (once that reform is achieved) it's argued the PL should pay more to the EFL (for whatever reason) then fair dos. But not all PL clubs are overflowing with money - quite a few will be completely knackered if/when TV revenues start to fall. Which I strongly suspect they will, due to the state of the economy as a whole.
