Lrrr

A lot of budgets in the national league are bigger than those in league two, bigger attendances and no form of financial fair play in the national league has seen Wrexham have a bigger budget then half of league one when in national league and Stockport were paying players 6k a week when they were there.

They'll struggle to get out of the national league Cotts or not, they'd likely have to at least increase their budget by 50% to compete for promotion

we’re back!

Kookaburra experiment needs to end, teams shouldn’t be this bat dominant in early April (bar whatever is happening at Gloucester) you can tell players don’t like how bad the ball is

Looks like it’s a 50% increase on the current deal, whether that relates to each club seeing 50% more will be seen but if it does it would bring in more then the club makes off streaming games.

2 of those 6 for me all my bets are e/w, just used money left in my account from PGA as I broke even Nicolai Hojgaard - 100/1 Ludvig Aberg - 25/1 Ryan Fox - 100/1 Sepp Straka - 100/1 Bubba Watson - 110/1 Sahith Theegala - 30/1 Wyndham Clark - 25/1 Victor Hovland - 25/1

It feels like the limited overs kits haven’t become Middlesex kits

Yeah but how are Blackburn?

Here's a radical idea.... don't play county championship cricket in the first week of april where there's bad weather & ditch the hundred

The luxury tax would be a horrendous rule, what incentive is there for owners who treat the club as a play thing to make sure the club is sustainable? You essentially just add the tax amount into how much you plan for paying on transfers but the club will be the one lumped with the debt & repayments whereas owners will just sell when they get bored or see things going bad. Clubs already making huge losses will just see 'you won't get punished for spending more' and throw money at it trying to push themselves up the league.

Thought it was also to limit sponsorships being displayed, wasn't shirt but the Niklas Bendtner and Paddy Power thing comes to mind

The assumption is that Twine wouldn't be happy at Burnley though, he may want to play for City/Manning but that doesn't mean he'd be unhappy to go back to Burnley & play for Kompany

You got a spare £12m lying around?

My guess would be England use that third spot for Trafford and give him experience of a senior major competition with eyes on him being number 1 in years to come, no expectation for him to play, like England did with Walcott and others when they’ve been young

Betting on any football for anyone who works in football is banned, be it players, back room staff and potentially even those who just work for clubs. Essentially its something like the equivalent of insider trading for football because you can have information thats not available publicly. And if players were allowed to gamble it opens up the risk of spot fixing in the game where players deliberately get booked or concede fouls etc and manipulate the outcomes, that one yellow card may not influence that game itself but the accumulation can affect when their game is they're banned for etc.

For me they look almost too far the other way

Cheaper tickets, doubling the wage bill and what are likely some expensive loan signings which I imagine won’t just be this season, if they don’t go up in a couple of seasons they could be in trouble

Yep still the pair of them

Evans and his assistant must be the most disliked manager/assistant in the top 4 leagues and not in a ‘I’d like them to be our manager’ way

For me just in performance you take Cavill's style of performance from the man from uncle, he showed in mission impossible his fight scenes are good if he has a good choreographer.

I thought it was Pisano outside another coffee shop getting leaked again

I'm not sure why you wouldn't put the L1 or L2 play off final with the FA cup

Most do, you hear stories of some who don't and think 'they are so ****** if they go down'

Steve Evans? Comparative age to Warnock at least...
