Football is insane as an industry.

And for Fraudage to say it doesn’t need a regulator is yet another example of him always being wrong on pretty much any debate you care to pick.

I have real issues with it. Kids paid £hundreds of thousands per year to barely play while their peers are earning £10.85 an hour on zero hour contracts for delivery firms or in Domino’s. Utterly fecked up imo.

I am not sure a football regulator will solve everything, but it is very much needed. Football finance is crazy. The existence of clubs should never be put at risk to try to get into the Premier League.

We need a wealth levy: only trouble is you can bet clubs like Newcastle and Chelsea are paying players into offshore accounts/proxy payments to overseas family members.

Leeds £49 million loss in a season, thanks to legacy wages from the prem, on EFL revenue.

At least our wage bill isn’t over £70 million, on EFL revenue of £35 million, and paying a manager more than our TV revenue (EFL).

It’s sad how Mark is allowed to gas light the club because lots of people don’t understand numbers.

With the liabilities from many purchases too over the next couple of years, IF we don’t get promoted this season or next, we are in trouble, big time.

That’s the legacy if we don’t go up, all that prem money and looking at annual losses of £30 million plus.

I honestly don’t know how Ashton gets away with the risk taking and lack of agency. No wonder he’s told Farage McKenna is gone without promotion…, he gave him such a massive wage it’s impossible to keep him.

And the waste is breathtaking, the consequences aren’t small. We don’t get to just start again, Ashton ‘loving a deal’ is great, but the waste could linger for decades.

"A total of £3bn and counting. That is how much Championship clubs have lost in the past 10 years.

To put it into perspective, for that amount you could buy a pie and a pint at a game 300 million times over."

I understand £3bn without the rather strange and extremely unlikely framing, BBC...

Which ever way one approaches those figures that the various national papers have recently presented re the vast losses/gambles taken by EFL clubs, especially the Championship, it takes some manipulating clairvoyance to suggest that Town's comeuppance awaits, irrespective of the fact that we currently appear to come off rather well in the table of profit and loss.

As to Ashton's part in that, although you are perhaps cashing in on open season, it's hard to believe that the desire to sign those particular players, who have so far disappointed in a Town shirt, initially came from Ashton himself.
