Morning siblings, I come hither this morning to apologise!

Yes to apologise, to Adam Underwood and the recruitment team at Elland Rd.

Given the parameters that we are forced to work within.

In hindsight the summer window has been a relative success, with the odd exception.

I feel compelled to say this given the absolutely ridiculous amounts that a certain fee clubs pay for “ok” players, certainly not world class players.

Somenyo now going to Man City (FFP’s love child) for £65m is stupid. He’s never worth that kind of money.

Problem is the trickle down effect, bang average player now going for £20-£30m +, just makes it even harder for the lesser established clubs to survive/ compete.

I actually hate the Premier league, I’m only happy we are in it for the longevity of my club, but it’s as corrupt as it gets. Refs are biased to the “big 6” VAR is a joke again biased for them and so is the PSR/ FFP system.
Football does need a regulator or it needs each club to have its own PPV system and not be held by Sky or any other TV network, to help level the playing field.

Apologies for the rant but it’s killing the game and the love of the fans at working/ middle class level.
The top 6 cartel have a monopoly and it’s cheating everyone else.

100% on that Davey. Shame they can’t have a computer software where clubs submit their revenue and automatically get fined or deducted points. Take the fallabble humans out the equation. ?.

Thanks fella’s, just pis&es me off that it’s clearly not and will never be a level playing field. City should be under the embargo until this panto is finalised.
