    I've absolutely no issue in any investigation into their owners and what they may have done.

    I do have issue with escaping admin penalty, and whilst they may have fell into the less than 39 million lark, fact is for years they have spent more than they earned. Sustained losses required owners to put in.

    At some point a stance needs to be taken, because in any other walk of life the business would be closed down

    The council owns the land but only a stake in the stadium?

    I stopped reading at “well-run”.

    I didn’t really but I should’ve done. How the fvck is spending 168% of your income on wages well run?

    The govt can’t intervene in individual clubs finances etc as far as I know anyway.
    Can’t blame her for trying and sticking up for her constituents club but imo it would have gone a lot better if she’d called for universal reform of the EFL and it’s rules .
    It needs an act of Parliament imo as the people who should be reformed at the present have the vote and hold all the cards It’s just crazy .

    Maybe they should be nationalised. No fault with Nandy as she is clearly trying on behalf of her constituents but is it really a matter for government.
