The most bent rules in the history of football.

Wonder what they do if Derby get promoted within a couple of years. Probably force fans to fingerprint ID whenever they want to buy club merchanidise. Restrict each fan to £50 per year. Fan spending fair play.

With today's news probably only a matter of time until Derby County win promotion. Of course with FUP how much further can they go beyond that? Wolves must be the immediate example to emulate.

Dead.

Came across footage and remembered this thread.

Accrington could make it to Premier League (lol) and there would still be more Rovers fans there. Should bring out "free shirt fair play" see how Dolt likes that. ?

"Are you watching Manchester"? I can imagine some parts were particularly the East-South side!

...and foreign coaches have been successful in recent years in the EFL Championship. Load of ignorant rubbish.

I saw the commercial for this show and thought it looked tacky which isn't a surprise for an ITV channel. All very superficial you can see why he looks up to someone like Beckham.

Forgot to note that Lowe shows up at Salford and the manager is gone within weeks. The Jason Lowe managerial grayeyard expands to Salford. Football's ultimate misery magnet so I'm not complaining that he's ended up there!

Must have forgotten when they won it.

Funniest scenario ever if they were left behind. Of course they were the first club to benefit from the "champions" league qualifying for 98/99 as runners up to Arsenal. Real fair play there UEFA! Speaking of "left behind" Jones has been omitted from their Premier League squad (limit of 25) for rest of season.

I bet in 1989 nobody said "that Jack Walker should buy Rovers". Yet it would have made more sense than suggesting the Issas should. Jack's involvement with the club (aside from buying tickets of course) went back to at least 1979 (sponsorship) and possibly before that. Euro Garages aren't even a sponsor.

Shouldn't believe everything the media say.

Yes THEY got it wrong. I certainly didn't! Would be rather pedantic to send him a correction on Twitter though I suppose.

Jack's actions even solved a murder. What a guy! Considering that Ewood is Jack's real legacy (alongside the title win and of course his success in business) of course it's important that the stadium be maintained. Particularly the Jack Walker stand. On the other hand it's all very superficial because people don't realise image and mentality should go hand in hand.

It's the hypocrisy and the nerve of Neville to compare himself to Jack Walker that's the problem. All likes of Neville did (that is people associated with Man United) was sneer at Jack and moaned about "buying the title". Lim's the guy putting the big money in what exactly have Neville and the other prats contributed besides media publicity?

Wonder if Ferguson, Moyes, Redknapp, etc have sent any messages. Not as deserving of sympathy as Kean I guess.

Maybe Wigan won't be on board with this brazen plot then? Can guarantee they would have with that FUP backing hypocrite Whelan in charge. Salford City another example of downright hypocrisy given their obvious link.

As if Leeds fans don't hate him enough already.

He's spoken out against FUP in past as well. Mentioned Jack Walker unlike most people on here when the subject comes up.

He's said nothing about FUP so why would he say anything about this? Not to mention disparaging Jack in his (latest) autobiography.

Wonder if that's why Rashford was on front page of Sun other day. All part of a PR game. That club don't do anything charitable without a self serving reason. Not surprised they would try to exploit the Coronavirus situation either. Liverpool not much better.

It does not explain why Al-Khelaifi (and his cousin at Malaga where FUP has killed any major ambition) didn't buy another English club. It also does not explain why the club wasn't sold to them in 2010 other than the Walkers might have tried to grasp more money out of them because of their evident wealth. Or for that matter considered them "too good" compared to people who didn't know what relegation was. Relegation scenarios clearly terrified the Walkers at that point (no wonder considering their influence over trustees staving the club) but once they were out of the way it wouldn't have posed a problem. Indeed I don't doubt for one moment they were cracking open the champagne in 2012.

If the club came out and said Covid could be an advantage they would be a laughing stock. Not to mention it would offend a lot of people. As for intimidation. I think it's fair to say that at many clubs someone would have assaulted Kean long before he departed. On the other hand how many Championship venues are intimidating? Millwall aside and they will be first to admit you can't win promotion on that alone.
