The Football League is sustainable as long as there are people willing to cover losses, for whatever reasons they are willing to cover them. If the Stevenage guy is complaining it is hypocritical as the clubs are losing that much because people like him cough up. It appears unsustainable for fan owned clubs, the sooner we address that the better.

Because sustainable is until it is not. You can’t punish a private owner for being willing and able to out money into a club.

Tom Beere went down a few rabbit holes - he’s got his own “narrative” on various things… Pity really, I imagine he had potential, but he took a different path… 🤷🏻‍♂️

These sustainability rules make me laugh in that clubs can take into account money the owners pump in. Presumably that is just for donations (p&l) and not buying more shares (capital) but nothing would surprise me. How is taking into account what an owner puts in sustainable when they could just decide to stop? Ridiculous.

They'll just hand World Cup tickets to kids and locals if they aren't selling. There is probably a secondary sale to locals at lower prices for group matches at least.

Those World Cup ticket prices are disgusting. If they don't backtrack and prices more sensibly then I hope the games are played in half empty stadiums, especially the final. It will be full of corporate client entertaining, not supporters who have spent years following their country's football team and get priced out. Shameful.

Driza, are you related to Alan and Steve Bone of Wimbledon Rangers fame in the 70s?

I saw the TB thing - fantasy island - agree he looked like a decent prospect and scored the goal to beat AS - however Ardley did not take well to party boys - hence Tom King, Mitch Pinnock and Anthony Wordsworth not featuring much- and from what I can gather Tom Beere wasn’t shy of a party

Players on BBC1 giving out presents to kids at hospital in about 20 mins

He was hardly a key player in that side, scored a vital goal v Accrington but that was about it

It’s crazy Sandy but the final will sell out and they’ll complain if any real football fans of the countries involved try to get in by hook or by crook.

Anyone seen Tom Beere talking bollocks on a podcast?

That's eye-watering, Trigs!

Meanwhile if England get to the final and you want to go and see it on a budget… [Link]

BTW the owners investment would be added to the revenue as it is revenue as it not repayable.

Hopefully that will keep the PFA from moaning - although I think nothing will

With the efl they could put a cap on with the owners allowed to meet that cap within the 50% revenue to wages rules. For example if the cap in EFL L2 is £2 million the owners could add £2 million as long as their revenue is £8 million or more.

If you are looking at the betting odds the win probability is us 39%, Mansfield 28% and the draw is 33%. Seeing on average homes are just over 50% that is not a ringing endorsement. They say it is a coin flip

Or Mrs Bone of Parliamentary Questions fame, though she did leave him in 2016

Trigger, it'd seem that administration almost gaurantees progress up the leagues then.

Is it stuttering? Since League One became League One (2004) four clubs have gone into administration whilst being in the division.

As long as it’s not the famous Mister Peter Bone 🦴🤪

From that article about Stevenage owner Wallace said the losses across the whole of League One were "thought to be over £120m" and were "unsustainable". That equates to an average loss of £5m per club. He then goes on to suggest a solution that could have come straight from Fair Game.
