The Peasants Are Revolting

[Reg Martin]

Players leaving before the deadline, no signings coming in.
Rumours of financial problems circulating amongst fans.
Chief Exec held in contempt by supporters.
Have you guessed who it is yet? (And I'm not talking about Southend)

 

[Moody Blues]

Newcastle??

 

[Reg Martin]

Newcastle??

May be true but not who I had in mind.

 

[EastStandBlue]

I'd take a guess at Hull... Some of the comments coming out of Hull seem a little bit premature though...

 

[Reg Martin]

Another clue to further whip up the fervour this thread has generated - some fans of this club are starting to suggest the chairman has taken it as far as he can and should step aside.

Liverpool ??

 

[Reg Martin]

The chairman in question has until now widely been seen as the ideal club chairman

 

[blues_r_best]

Middlesbrough

 

[Reg Martin]

Middlesbrough

Yes - the last clue was a giveaway I think

 

[EastStandBlue]

The same could be said for Hull... Lost Michael Turner days before the deadline, failed to bring in an adequate replacement and there are rumours around there that Duffen's consortium has gone into liquidation.

Pompey in trouble as well according to the bbc today, or just out of it apparently.

Its a shame to see this really, so much money floating about in this sport but still teams suffer.

Yeah but who mainly is taking all the £££s, players and agents that's who, therefore all this extra cash floating about is going out of the sport!!!

"Just avoided going under" according to BBC Football via Twitter.

This is true, as much as I love watching the top players I would much rather them get a "very good" wage whilst other money is pumped into the rest of football, making all clubs sustainable as it seems its not just the lower league teams that are not being affected. This will bring up the question of players wages being capped, which I am not sure about really but ultimately its English football, fans, clubs, that is suffering.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

How many clubs has Peter Storrie now guided towards the precipice?
