The £375k x 24 =£9m £250k x 24 = £6 m Total £15million. That accounts for half the initial £30m Grant The other £15 m of the £30m will be distributed according to lost gate receipts. None of those elements are loans There is a further hardship fund of £20m available to be used across...

It has been a long time coming, but this will be a relief for many fans and clubs. Set out here .... Premier League and EFL agree rescue deal

Sounds like Oxford really collapsed in second half and lost their bottle for the fight.

Think you will find Peterborough have struggled against footballing sides this season. Lack of mobility when not in possession

I will be intrerested to know if any part of that £50 million is still sidelined as loans as the Premier league were insisting, or whether the Parliamentary Committee banged the bodies heads together hard enough and turned it all into a grant given the pressure they put on to find agreement...

Right bringing this back on topic. I watched the whole of the interrogation of the chair of the Premier League and EFL ... if any one else wants to view it's available on Parliament website player. In my opinion despite all the words of wanting to support the EFL there were too many questions...

Most clubs will have played 6 or so home games since fans were stopped from attending matches. 1) how much in terms of income i.e. cashflow would you estimate your club has lost to date ? 2) From local kjnowledge is this shortfall threatening the existence of your club . ( Just answer...

I think the EFL should have thought ahead given the virus situation. It looks likely to be stop and start all season. One idea would have been just play the other teams once, split home and away, with half the sides getting an extra home match although without fans this would not have the same...

Time to keeep the pressure on. Last week has been a huge step forward in bringing some sanity back to football finance. The so called big 6 power grab has been thrown into the dustbin. The promise of £250m was built on no certainty and sand. Thankfully this was seen and rejected. Now we have...

I see you set Bolton's ambition to that of being a league 2 Chelsea reserves

To an extent I wish that too. However , what I would like to see is that league of say 20 comprised of the previous seasons league winners and possibly runners up from the top leagues from each nation. Only the club finishing 1st may remain to defend their title.. others return to their...

The guy from Man C who made the statement knows little of the UK game ... Imagine Sunderland being the B team of Newcastle ..that in itself, should tell him it won't work.

So what does everyone think of this as reported on Sky .... " I could add a few adjectives, they wouldn't be pretty ... wonder how close that would be to breaking the law on cartels EFL not sustainable and should introduce B teams, says Man City chief Ferran Soriano

As this is being debated (at last) far and wide ..the TV pundits who were instrumental in causing the chaos when none existed a long while back For 70 or 80 years the game survived with the law describing handball as when the hand played the ball deliberately..nothing to do with ball being...

Two games to watch out for this weekend : Stuttering Blackpool ( "Champions elect" - according to their fans) v In form Lincoln Stuttering Peterborough ("Champions elect" -according to their fans ) v Promoted Swindon Make it three and it's the "A - game" AFC V Accrington ..but then again...

As if to illustrate my point : source Deloitte. The total wages paid according to their report 2020 are as follows (2018/19) Premier League (million) 3000 + Championship 800 League I 153 League 2 71...

I would support that idea, it would give everyone something else to talk about

Truth is last waltz is that there is enough money within the game to resolve the issues of the EFL Clubs. Premier league wages at £2000 million p.a. shows there is enough to go around in the game, it is just redistributed incorrectly/ unequally .Many have said this for years but it fell on deaf...

Seems an announcement is coming soon ..we can but hope it does and without strings atached

Good to see my first post has added to the healthy debate, so thought would come back on Luke Imps post. I think I alluded to both Govt and Premier league help to overcome this issue. Govt by way of legislation, Premier league by way of funding. Simply and using my suggestion above, given...
