Indeed and more to follow no doubt before the 21/22 season starts as I have big doubts whether many leagues will have a 20/21 season.

one suspects some sort of truncated season will take place minus cups

All that money in the Premiership but it doesn't go down... If all of the Prem players gave up a week's pay they would probably solve all the issues in the lower leagues...

Pleased to see Bayern Munich take their League and Cup Double.

 

Now if only Raith Rovers (my Scottish team) could do the same..

 Mind you, promotion beckons this season.

The whole sale and then four weeks later administration business seems unusual. 
And that’s without some of the strange rumours going around.

The EFL are a disgrace regarding Wigan's plight. 4 weeks and...administration!!!!. Rick Parry "suggesting" large bet being placed in the Far East on Wigan's relegation. The EFL should be under severe scrutiny about Bury FC"S problems (pre Covid19) and now Wigan Athletic FC. Who's next?

 

As far as the Premier League management is concerned they are equally clueless. Richard Masters, Chief Exec, was surprised Liverpool fans took to the streets after thir first league victory in 30 years. Really??? What planet is he on?Obviously no understanding of what makes a football fan tick.

 

As a Man Utd fan I was in tears inside Old Trafford when the 1993 Premier League was presented after 26 years. ( I was there for the previous one in 1967). When the Glazer takeover was announced my first instinct was to go to the forecourt at Old Trafford to protest.I knew what the future held. Cash cow.

 

These clueless idiots are ruining our game....and I mean "our" game because as Sir Matt Busby said "Football is nothing without the fans".

Wigan's plight is indeed very sad and worrying, but if they are not docked the standard 12 points for going into administration, what does that say to all the other clubs in the Championship who have managed to keep themselves afloat ? It does remain to be seen of course if any other clubs end up in the same situation, that would certainly change things.

I have just read that Jock Stein said that. Either way a great Manager from Scotland.!!!

 

 

Another great manager from Scotland once said  - "At a football club, there’s a holy trinity: the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don’t come into it. They are only there to sign the cheques."

Running a village pub is very similar.

As Jeff Stilling said on Sky Sports when TNS won the Welsh league...

They’ll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight.

Brilliant.

Jose is still "The Man".   MUFC should have gone for him in 2013 when Ferguson retired.  Instead they let Moyes and Van Gaal make matters worse and then handed Jose a poisoned chalice. As for "Ole's at the wheel". Sunday's team selection would indicate otherwise !!!!

Remember how much time Ferguson was given to succeed at United. He was very close to getting his P45 in the early days.

 

Had Moyes and Van Gaal been given the same length of time, they may well have succeeded. Whether that success would have come with the style and flair that the prawn sandwich brigade expect at Old Trafford is another question.

I don't know. I just read that David De Gea is getting 375000 pound a week. A bargain in my opinion!

 

Now Arsenal to go and the cups back at the Bridge!
