Not unexpected ...Warren

 

This is what happens when the real supporters speak the truth ! They the premier league take away thir toys or money in this case !

 

I know Dave Boyle Personally , and can only agree with what he said ! The SD are looking into other ways of funding and I hope they succeed !

 

and tell the premier League to go and play on the moon ! for all I care ...

 

cheers chris

This is just pure greed and nothing else. The established Premier League clubs hate to see any money go anywhere other than to themselves. It was they who lobbied for a redistribution of FA Cup funds so they get more from the later rounds thus denying clubs like us rewards that effectively just pay Rooney's wages for ONE day.

 

As a result the Championship is now nothing more than a race to get their noses in the trough. As a supporter of a Championship team which has flirted with the Premier League it's impossible to get excited anymore. What's the point is aspiring to become part of something that is so abhorent?
