Having helped to kill off the lucrative European Super League ESL the Government will now have to find millions to refinance the post pandemic football pyramid.
With many clubs about to hit the financial buffers might they start by refinancing Bury?
Surely clubs won't be allowed to go bust now.
Why the **** would they refinance a club that went bust before Covid and because they spent well beyond their means?
It’s N interesting point ( not the bury bit ) if Boris is adamant that football is part of the fabric of society then how can he allow clubs to go bust even if they are stupid - perhaps the government will buy a 51% share in every club?
Football clubs had the same Covid related support that other businesses had, made available to them. As a taxpayer I would consider far more worthy causes for my money to support. Here comes all that football 'family' crap.Quote:

There's rumours that they're looking at implementing Germany's 50+1 rule. I find it very unlikely and they'd somehow f*ck it up but it could well be an interesting period in footballQuote:
