  1. EEEP from a players perspective!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41839083 I found this an interesting. I initially clicked on it because I thought 'It really is, Finley Burns cost £175k' but it wasn't what I thought at all. If a player needs to move to a lower category academy for whatever reason, the new club could be...

    Sign players early ......... or play a waiting game

    With the squad decreasing each week Brown, Horton and co will be working away looking at signing new players for the coming season.

    Does the pyramid system change much?

    The pyramid system certainly makes football more exciting and gives non-league clubs hope of the Football League dream. HOWEVER, it changes very little. Non league clubs remain non league style clubs playing in the Football League..in general. Look at the lowest attendances in League 2 last...

    Pyramid schemes and high pressure direct sales.

    Anyone got any stories. I have just got back from a visit to someone's house under the guise of a social event hosted by the parents of my young nephew. I thought something was odd when I spotted some leaflets for cookware on the coffee table and sure enough a 'friend' arrived to cook some...

    Pompey - Liquidation!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/portsmouth/9120108.stm My Dad always says to me it will be like a pack of cards, if one club is allowed to fold then the deck will start to fall.... Should mean extra promotion places up for grabs filtering down the pyramid if this does happen?
