On the basis of what evidence?

When a sheep is only worth marginally less than your club record signing...

The new chief exec's purported LinkedIn doesn't exactly shout that they've recruited a sharp operator... ...he also appears to have started a company (C&E SPORTING MANAGEMENT LIMITED) earlier this year and he is personally a registered intermediary with the FA - that sounds like a potential conflict of interest.

On the billing front... BT Sport have said "With the return of live Bundesliga, UFC and now the Premier League in June, we can confirm that as a gesture of goodwill we will also be offering customers a further bill credit to the value of 50% of their BT Sport monthly subscription."

No need for odds now...

EFL update: The EFL can confirm that 1014 players and Club staff from all 24 Championship Clubs have been tested for COVID-19 over the course of the last 72 hours, with two individuals testing positive from one Club. Those players or Club staff who have tested positive will now self-isolate in line with the guidelines provided by the EFL and only those who have tested negative will be permitted to enter training ground facilities. The EFL will continue to make regular and relevant announcements as appropriate in respect of the testing programme to support competition integrity and transparency. No specific details as to Clubs or individuals will be provided by the League. https://www.efl.com/news/2020/may/efl-statement-covid-19-test-results/

Worth remembering the club only own a 40% stake and the local council and rugby league team have stakes in the stadium company.

It's almost like the BBL is operated on a franchise model... "Firstly, the BBL is based on franchises, similar to the US system in sport. There is no promotion and relegation between the BBL and EBL and NBL clubs cannot join the BBL based on their performances in official competition alone. However, NBL clubs and any other organisations can apply for a franchise from BBL." http://www.bbl.org.uk/faq/

It's just what they do...

So looking at the Derby County stadium ownership... The freehold of DY342736 was transferred to GELLAW NEWCO 202 LIMITED (registered 19th June 2018) and registered on 30th July 2018. GELLAW NEWCO 202 LIMITED was incorporated with GELLAW NEWCO 201 LIMITED (registered 18th June 2018) holding the only share in the company. GELLAW NEWCO 201 appointed its liquidators 10 days after its incorporation in a members voluntary liquidation on 28th June 2018. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...

That was in the days of "emergency" 93 day loans. Loans must now begin and end during a transfer window.

Pato approves...

All started with a throw-in from the magician that is Adam Matthews. What a guy.

Thread on Villa's accounts (which only tell part of the picture...)

From the planning application... both are 50sqm (10m x 5m).

Ooooh. A big screen update. "The club purchased the new 30sqm screen in July last year from Stadia Solutions, a leading international sports and entertainment agency that specialises in fully managed technology and media platforms". It's obviously been sabotaged by one of them 'teds...

Wael's a 'ted...

Fleetwood's appeal against the red card has been successful...

Yep, seems to be the case. No official confirmation I can find from Wolves but that site is usually pretty accurate.

He's left Wolves apparently... http://trainingground.guru/bulletin-board
