Get spending! Then we'll win the league!

It's burning a hole in my pocket and its not even my money

Problem is every championship club has got that aswell,but atleast it helps give us an edge over alot of clubs from lower leagues than the Championship.

what payment will leeds norwich and millwall get ?

Whatever they get, it's a disaster for football. JR doesn't like it. And if he doesn't like it with his passion for all things Rovers, you have to at least ask 'why?' It's going to create Premiership 2. And we won't be allowed into Premiership 1 since no bugger other than the relgated clubs from the previous 3 seasons will have enough money to compete.

It's tantamount to crime. It's rigging the entire structure of football. Actually, I wonder if a private prosecution for corruption, malpractice and fraud would have anay legs...?
