Deloittes, world football’s financial authority, today estimated English Premier League revenues will drop by 20%, or £1bn, due to the crisis, a figure that will soften slightly – if they manage to complete this season. Question is, will a 20% drop cause systemic problems? I’m not sure.
Unlike the Premier League, the Scottish Premiership and the lower leagues in both England and Scotland, are heavily dependent on match day revenue. The SPFL’s agreement with Sky addressed some of the danger, but our game is significantly more vulnerable than the Premiership. The lower leagues in England have some of the worst metrics in world football. If I was looking for systemic problems, the EFL would draw the eye.

Talk of statues leads me to ask if Celtic were proposing to erect a statue to a deserving fan who would you suggest? My suggestion would be John Keane, the man who bravely stood up to be counted and saved us from Administration.

Bada, this from Krishnan Guru-Murthy provides some context.
“If you frame this as the “don’t mention the war” episode but don’t quote the scene about “ni**ers” and “wogs” then it obviously seems absurd. If you call it the “ni**ers and wogs episode” it might make people think.”
