Will football learn from this? 11:27 - Mar 26 with 627 views | Chrisd | I appreciate the present situation is a unique one, but with many clubs struggling financially will football as a whole reassess the financial side of the game? Something needs to be done because the money is just ridiculous especially at the top end, but it has a knock-on effect lower down the leagues. I just wonder if club owners are now considering that they need to manage finances differently in going forwards? | |

A nice touch for sure, but it sounds like they've every intention of seeing that money again. Which I suppose is fair enough as they are contracted, but gives the impression they expect to get back to business as usual of overspending (not aimed at Leeds per se, just the general state of finances in the Championship). | |

Difficult to say if football will be valued even more as an escape or will drop further down the list. I guess we'll see the level the crowds and the Sky Sports subscriptions return to. The unpleasant grind of ITFC's position and immediate future doesn't bode well for us - we need escapism from that! | |
