I agree with this, the only problem is it will make it harder for the lower/newly promoted sides to sign the better players as they won’t want to lose wages if they’re relegated.

Totally agree.

Yeah but they should be made to be used for what they were intended for then. They were set up to help with the financial burden of being relegated, ie:- paying the wages of players already at the club until the club gets itself back on an even keel. They weren’t brought in to blow on even more expensive players to try and get back up. Which in turn makes clubs like us without PP overspend trying to keep up. PP are a good idea in principle but until teams are made to use them as they were intended more teams will end up like us. Good idea, ludicrous governing of how they are used.

Hutch played for Chelsea as a right back and was tipped to be a future England right back before he retired.

Never happened too easy to just slag him off.

They look like they’re about to start singing barbershop quartet style!

Really like the light blue one.

And she always manages to pin it on someone else. Devious cow!

Why is the match finished behind closed doors? Does everyone have to leave at half time?

As long as it’s still warm

You can control that to an extent, don’t put any money it! Unless you like sex that is!

A friend of mine who isn’t into football once asked me what it is about football that you love and I couldn’t really explain it. The euphoria you get when your team scores, the anger/disappointment you get when you concede. That buzz seeing your team win something or the heartbreak when they lose. Like you say it’s in the blood and it’s hard to explain, you either feel it or you don’t. How can something that you have no control over, control your emotions so much? It is crazy but there’s nothing like it.

A good way to keep parachute payments and stop them being abused like they do is say, the club don’t actually receive any money, the EFL or whoever pays them, pay the wages, or part of, to the players/staff, whoever it goes to for the first couple of years until the club gets itself sorted out. That would stop the teams just going out and spending it all, if they can’t afford to buy, then they sell just like everyone else has to. Not that any club will ever agree to that!

Totally agree, if a chairman wants to spend his/her own money then let them. As long as it’s not just loans to the club and they’re not putting the club into financial difficulties then they should be able to spend their own money however they want.
