The Football League in England have woken up to the notion that they do not have a working business model. Solidarity payments from the FA Premier League’s new TV deal will earn Championship clubs £2.3m a season (considerably more than Celtic will receive from TV for winning the SPL), with League One sides earning £324k and League Two sides earning £250k.
Unfortunately, for those hoping to establish a well-balanced and competitive structure, parachute payment to those relegated from the Premier League will earn each club £69m (£23m in year one, £18m in year two and £9m in years three and four).
The Guardian report that today Championship clubs are expected to warn the Premier League that they risk permanently damaging the “integrity of the Football League” by increasing parachute payments to the proposed level. An unusual case of a group asking for some of its members to receive less money.
The Football League doesn’t have a viable business model. Clubs spend unsustainable amounts of money trying to attain the riches of the Premier League, where they can add zeros to both income and expenditure. Most fail and many of them plummet down the divisions. Even those who drop into the Championship with parachute payments (albeit at the old level) find deleveraging too difficult.
The SPL doesn’t have a viable business model either. They should be talking to the Football League and see what benefits could accrue from working together.
10 years ago tonight:
Liverpool 0-2 Celtic
Bang! Celtic are in a European semi final.

Spiers has probably the most fair assessment I’ve read on the GB situation and the Offensive behaviour Bill thus far today in the Herald
Which snooker player goes by the nickname “The Outlaw”?
Morning all. Lovely day here so far.
Osbourne wittering away and Balls traipsing after him, through the TV studios. Clueless all of them. Still, better them than Salmond and his corrupt crew.
First name is Joe.

Reports from Portugal this morning stating that Norwich have bought Ricky Van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon. If I was Gary Hooper, I’d be seriously thinking of signing Celtic’s new contract offer.
Options are fast running out for him.
Not sure if this would go down too well at a hun wedding? :

Doyle axe text from Trapattoni defended by Republic of Ireland coaching staff By Colin Young
..Ireland’s coaching staff have defended dropping striker Kevin Doyle from the squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Sweden and Austria by text after the Wolves captain expressed his disappointment at the decision.
Doyle revealed he discovered he was dropped from the squad for the first time after returning to the dressing room on Saturday night, just moments after scoring his first goal of 2013 in Wolves’ 2-1 over Bristol City.
Manager Giovanni Trapattoni sent a text message informing the 29-year-old striker, who has earned 53 caps for his country – most of them during Trapattoni’s reign – of the decision.

Your package is ready to go but you’ve still not provided me an address buddy. I’m at a loss until you do so.

Celtic are interested in signing James Dunne.
The Scottish Premier Division leaders have been to see the Stevenage midfielder play on more than one occasion already this season, with Neil Lennon, the club’s manager, having also taken a personal look at one of Boro’s best performers this campaign.
Boro signed the 23-year-old in the summer on a tribunal fee after his contract with Exeter City expired.
James William Dunne (born 18 September 1989) is an English footballer who plays for League One side Stevenage as a midfielder.
Dunne started his career at Wimbledon’s youth academy, before moving to Arsenal in 2004. Dunne spent four years progressing through the ranks at Arsenal, and was loaned out to Nottingham Forest in October 2008. He returned to Arsenal having made no first-team appearances for Forest, and was released by the North London side at the end of 2008–09 season. He joined Exeter City in July 2009, and went on to make over 100 appearances for the club over three seasons. In May 2012, Dunne joined League One club Stevenage.
Doesn’t score many goals but probably fits our remit to buy young with potential and sell on for profit.

ACGR – On it’s way to you now chief.
The Exiled Tim @ 23 44 .
Trading Iraqi Dinars ?
Based on a long time ago and therefore possibly no longer accurate ——-
Banks in Detroit and Chicago bought and sold Iraqi dinars [ high fee / high commission ]
Standard way of doing it in the UK [ for relatively small amounts ] was to use London based Indian currency dealers who converted dinars into rupees and then sterling . Expensive !..
Good luck !
Happy birthday TTTT
Enjoy the day, catch up at some point
Hail hail…
The Exiled Tim
Check what they are going for on Ebay. They will be collectors items. They may be worth more in years to come than they are now. I apporeciate you probably want to offload them quickly though but it’s worth bearing in mind. A currency collector may take them off your hands with a view to punting them on in a few years when they are worth more.

Thanks for reply , I just think we have to get these issues to a bigger audience . My biggest problem with all of this is the ” we are still the same team ” rubbish that is being pushed by the zombies and the MSM , this needs to be challenged at every turn .
