Glad it’s stopped. OK, as a supporter of a club with above average attendances I’m automatically biased, but nonetheless it always struck me as daft that larger clubs shouldn’t be allowed to pay what they wished and suffer the consequences if they get it wrong. I don’t see how you can lay down conditions to force owners to manage their clubs properly. Imagine if, at your place of work, your boss said ‘sorry I’d love to give you a rise but our trade association won’t allow it’.
