Football's trusts must keep the faith 8:46pm on 21 Oct 2009 As a Pompey fan, I would not trade the FA Cup for Premier League safety. But I would have traded it for Financial stability. Seeing how close we came to not existing is not fun. Especially since my local team was a second division side in Canada that folded twice (despite good players, we sold our keeper to Spurs![Lars Hirschfeld])and now that city has no club. It is a painful thing to go through as a fan.

I think that all fans would like a bit of glory to remember, but not at the expense of their club. I hope that all clubs - those run by foreign ownership, local ownership, & fans all live within their means and keep their clubs running. That is the first thing. Promotion, cup runs, & titles can only happen if your club exists.

There are rumours of transfers restrictions on clubs with debt, or penalties such as not being allowed to participate in tournaments. I think that these are needed more than any rules about homegrown players. However a part of me worries, that rules like these will only lead to even more shadowy book keeping.

Review of the week 3:55pm on 14 Aug 2009 Brilliant article. I enjoyed reading it, the bit about the Norwich appealing for longer bans had me laughing, luckily no one else is in the office today.
Twists and turns of breakaway row emerge 2:37pm on 21 Jun 2009 Is there any truth to the rumour that if Mosley agrees to step down the breakaway teams will return to F1?
No point crying 3:54pm on 11 May 2009 Gavin I don't know if it will work with you finishing your degree & coaching badges, but have you considered leaving Britain to play in North America or Australia?
