It's sad for the fans of all these Clubs that are struggling, the Premier League, football league, FA, UEFA & FIFA to a degree all need to take a long hard look at what is happening in the game particulary the English game and come up with a way to try to even up the table with the wonky leg cause the way I see it the food on the table is only going one way with a few crumbs left for the others.

Football is at a crossroads and needs strong leadership from those within and better regulation.

Players, Managers, Directors & Chairman come & go but what always remains is the fans

You can also bet that while those fans are spending what they earn grafting all sorts of hours per week and travelling up tomorrow to save the costs, the players will be in the Dunkenhalgh lording it up on money the club hasn't got. Maybe they should have put them up at the travelodge on the M65 services
