    Re: £160 million!

    How many of the 92 clubs actually spend within their means? Not many id say. I dont understand this notion that EPL are the bad guys and poor old EFL are blameless. The EPL clubs attract the money of course they will get the lion share. If they so choose to spend this money signing players for silly money then so be it. They are investing in assets for their business. Its not up to them to prop the rest of the pyramid anymore than they already are.

    I listen to Simon Jordan a lot, and whilst hes a bit of a marmite character he certainly knows his onions when it comes to football finance. No matter how much money the EPL gives the EFL you will always get unscrupulous chairmen doing a Portsmouth, or a Bolton, or worse case scenario a Bury.

    Dont get him started on football fan representatives on the board of directors either.

    Totally agree with you. The EFL, to me, these days are just a shop front for a whole load of other hidden businesses out the back.

    Jordan's history is interesting, and you're right about him being a marmite character - anyone having anything to do with Palace would ensure that anyway!

    There are new stop and search laws I believe.

    Could be a perfectly good reason he didn't make it.

    There is something refreshing watching football at that level

    166 goals in 242 games for Spurs, was Premier League top goalscorer and assists provider last year in the team that finished 7th.

    goats on the Cardiff City Messageboard: "I don't rate him"

    I saw someone, I think it was on Sky Sports, say "this is so out of character for Harry Kane"

    Well it's not is it. This is the first time he's been in this position and this is how he's reacted so I'd say it's bang in character

    The money in football is amazing.
    Madness and Kane is no Toshack .

    And less injury prone ,Kanes ankles are dodgy???

    Tosh was steady on his feat

    Yes Simon Jordan does relate to the fans, you get the feel he does love the game and terrace culture .

    Sad to say if we signed Kane we'd turn him into a free transfer.

    If Moore can score 20 im sure Kane would bang them in.

    The problem is Madine Glatzel we paid millions when close to free was their value.

    If they spend these amounts on the 2 players expect Juventus, Real Madrid, Barcelona to complain about FFP and the fact that Man City bailed on ESL due to fans complaining about greedy clubs and yet in a pandemic they spend £260 million plus wages on 2 players whilst still under investigation for financial irregularities....

    He's a mug for signing a 6 year deal with no release clause

    Yup. It's taking the p*ss. But they can get away with it because all the governing bodies are at best toothless, and worse, corrupt (actually, they're both).
