Who'd have thought someone who worked for an arms dealer was a wrong 'un?

The Longest Winter — A Season with England's Worst Ever Football Team
at 20:32 6 Mar 2023

Apropos of nothing, I'm planning to read this.

The 1973/74 Rochdale AFC team is widely regarded as the worst-ever to play in the Football League, finishing bottom of the third division, winning just twice in 46 games, ending the season with a 22-game winless run and using 32 players including some amateurs drafted in from Sunday league clubs to make up numbers! This book tells the story of this difficult season for both the club and the town.

Parachute payments and VAR
at 12:34 27 May 2022

In yesterday's Times, Rick Parry set out the case for abolishing parachute payments and confirmed a VAR system could be used in the Championship as soon as the 2023-24 season if agreed by clubs.

Parry said that research by the EFL found "quite chilling" figures, including that since 2010-11 the total paid out to all clubs in a season in parachute payments has risen from £30m to £250m. The likelihood of parachute clubs being promoted has gone up from twice as likely as other clubs from 2007 to 2017 to three times as likely over the past five years.

One parachute payment of £44m is also substantially more than the £36m paid to all 48 League One and Two clubs collectively.

Also, the League Cup is under threat because of the expanded Mammon League.
