A rule of spending a percentage of your revenue,would even up the playing field against foreign investors, but also help lower league teams against debts/administration by meaning they have to operate "within their means" Premiership teams are overspending to match City's money, and lower league teams are busting a gut to get the sky TV money. Am I right in thinking this is similar to what is being brought in for teams competing in european competitions?Dukes wrote:Sky TV, foriegn owners, money and greed, I could go on, are causing a steep decline in our national sport.

Re: Northampton Relegation
But living within your means can easily be manipulated. Look at us, during the Griggs era we recorded £2.5m a year income from SR Griggs Ltd which was put down as "advertising/marketing", so could be argued as legitimate income. There are always ways around rules like this and the bigger boys will always find a way ......sadly !!

Have to say that of the match reports in the ET today, ours is the only remotely positive one. The plopps appear to be on the brink with reports of their players also not being paid on time, that they couldn't afford an overnight stay in Cumbria and that the Supporters Trust forked out for the players' pre-match meal.
If the worst did happen to the Cobblers, there wouldn't be a league club in Northamptonshire - something for the NFA to have a long, hard look at maybe.

Re: Northampton Relegation
The thing is that they've got a bit of momentum now and with the Wobblers in freefall, may be enough to keep on pressing.Trek wrote:Barnet's revival may be over as Mad Dog has just been appointed Notts manager:-

Even if they don't go down this has been a great addition to the back end of the season. :lol:
