The Football League thread II

Urgh that was pathetic. When Mark Warburton loses, he really loses. Glad I didn't book a last minute train to Rotherham though. I very nearly did early this afternoon.

Also, if there are any AFC Wimbledon fans browsing, your fans did your club an enormous credit tonight. At 35 minutes of their game at Northampton, all the Dons fans held up signs saying 'Fix Football' and started singing 'back to the Ricoh, they want to go home'.

Proof that others in the football community give a ****. Top bunch, the lot of them.

Ironic that when clubs come together to help each other like this, the common enemy is the FA/FL.

The FL's motto is 'Real football, real fans', which is frankly, 'real bull****'. They allowed my club to be turned into a pathetic shell of its former self by condoning this groundshare and have the audacity to claim to represent fans' interests.

The FA last week released a statement in which they deferred all responsibility to the FL and refused to get involved. Both parties stood by when they helped get rid of Wimbledon, and they're doing it again now. Tomorrow we face Stevenage in front of another crowd estimated to be less than 1,500.

As the AFC fans rightly asked, who is going to fix English football?

Unfortunately, the FA's top priority currently is attempting to get a good England team going, which ironically would do at least a bit better if every club functioned properly. Attempting to win the WC will never happen for the FA, they bark on about how good the next generation is, an example is Luke Shaw, he will properly be good in 4 years, yes, but your Neymars, Ronaldos and Messis are still going to tear him a new one in 4 years. The World Cup won't be challengable for 20 years at the least, so it's about time they went back and got every club, like Coventry, able to work correctly. England will never be great at football again if clubs lower down the leagues don't have the money/resources to create the youngsters. United, Liverpool, Chelsea etc won't create the entire England squad I'm afraid.

Has Zola ever been successful as a manager? Good player and a decent chap but doesn't really seem up to management from his previous experience

QFA

Fancy snatching Rhys McCabe off Portsmouth via loan for us? You fixed Maguire for us.

He didn't do badly in his first season at West Ham from what I remember. They even managed to finish above Manchester City who'd started to throw money around that season.

Can't believe how low Portsmouth are in League Two as well. 5 years ago they were the FA Cup holders and playing AC Milan in Europe, now they could be relegated to non league football. Shocking what's gone on at that football club.

Also Leeds looking in big trouble with the potential for unpaid wages this week. That Italian fraudster looked like the last chance saloon as the Leeds fan on here was saying.
