In the link I posted above the EFL chairperson briefly discusses the sale of stadia to owners and says, Jevans touches on other issues, inevitably financial, such as the loophole of clubs selling grounds to their owners to improve the look of the books. “I wouldn’t use the word loophole, no, but what I do think is important is there is absolute clarity over the sale of fixed assets. We are sitting down with the Premier League, and looking at the wording of those rules. It’s noted.” Any risk of a breakaway from the Championship to form a Premier League 2? “No, not right now, there’s no desire from the clubs, the FA or the Premier League.”

The outgoing EFL chairman was on R5L earlier (saying nothing in particular and just taking up airtime) but he did mention that no Championship teams are currently at risk of points deduction for breach of FFP. The reason given was that most clubs’ FY is after the end of the season so there is still an opportunity for clubs to raise funds by selling players which is “normal business”

Those tents and garden chairs don’t pay for themselves, you know

Praying Bakers injury isn’t serious right now

You mean the letterbox?

Conceded five goals in about 90 mins of football. Worrying.
