I see Sheff Wed habve joined Derby and Villa in selling their stadium to a company owned by the club owner/owners.

These were the 3 clubs reported to be on verge of serious FFP breaches and all now used same loophole it seems to avoid any sanctions.

Was reading stories in May that so many clubs doing this now is forcing the EFL to look into their financial rules to stop it happening, but I don't know whether anything will come of it.

It shouldn’t be allowed. The whole point of FFP is to stop clubs going to the wall by running up to much debt.

whats going to happen if the derby/Sheff wed chairman walks away not only leaving them millions in debt but with no stadium too?

It's a good job Gibson made a deal out of it and the EFL essentially said 'meh'. Now they know for sure they are allowed to do it and have thus done so.

Yeah, one of the theories was that SG was testing the water so he could also do it. You know they would come down on us like a ton of bricks though if we tried it!

Juninho: 'I should not have left English football when I did'

Really wish he was here in some capacity, but glad he's doing well. I know the article states he didn't necessarily want to go straight into coaching after he left Sydney F.C, but I think if we'd have given him an opportunity he'd have taken it.

think he regrets not joining Liverpool, if he had I doubt he'd have ever come back to us.

Boro link for Blues (Bishop Stortford)

Blues have entered into a partnership with Football League side Middlesbrough to provide a pathway for their academy players to progress to the professional games.
Martin Carter, Head of Academy Recruitment at the Championship side, will be in close contact with Blues’ management to identify potential talent throughout the South East and London.
This could lead to players playing for the Blues’ first team, and if they progress to a high enough standard, then going up for trials at Middlesbrough.
The academy players will be visiting Middlesbrough’s prestigious training facility Rockliffe Park, for coaching sessions and matches with their teams of the same age. Boro has a similar partnership in place with Northern Irish club Portadown and has close working relationships with a number of other clubs.

Do people reckon Luton tickets will make it to general sale? Being a Friday night and on TV I figured they might.. 

I doubt it will get to general as it will be a new place for many people

      Next seasons manager....

      By DanFromDownSouth · Posted

      That first half season (2018) after Potter left, they played some really good stuff? That could have been a bit more down to a "hang-over" from Potter's reign though. The 2019 was a write off for them though, although statistically they still averaged more accurate passes per game than we have this season, by about 100 passes.

      Wild guess here. He's been assured that he will get handsomely paid while working under an owner who is setting no real demands. It's a pretty easy job for him, this. But in case you are right I hope he doesn't change his mind about those he bring in 6 months down the line.

      I'd bet that Warnock will be our manager next season...unless he has a sudden change of heart / health. To be honest I'm not sure this is the right time to be getting a new manager in and changing things around. Until there is more clarity / certainty over the future of football in general and the club gets back on a sounder financial footing, I think we'll be treading water. As I've said before, I'd be very surprised if NW stays more than another season or two, purely on age / health grounds, but I think it will take at least that long for Boro to start thinking more long-term...unless, as some have suggested, Jepson takes over the reins. After all, prospective managers (the good ones anyway) only tend to take on jobs if they feel there is an interesting project, worth investing their time and effort in. Until Boro can show they are that kind of club again, I think we'll be pretty limited in the kind of managers we can attract.
