Huddersfield have been told to repay £35million to its former owner. The current owner does not seem too bothered as they are expecting £91million in parachute payments over the next 3 seasons. Its no wonder there is no money in the lower echelons of football, how on earth can it be justified to reward failure to this extent absolutely f*cking criminal especially in the current situation when probably 50% of that figure would virtually safeguard all non-league clubs during this crisis link |

But TBH the prem clubs don't give a toss about anything below the Championship (because they need it for somewhere to go when getting relegated) There is a romantic idea of a 'football family' but it is a 'dog eat dog' society and has been for years. No premier clubs ever help clubs at a lower level. In fact when they buy a player of a smaller club they want to pay it on the drip, then work out how they can get out of paying as time goes on. Ipswich spring to mind with the Jon Walters transfer. Chester City were up for £1m in sell on fees but of course we went bust so it never got paid in full. To my knowledge they never even put so much as a tenner in the pot to help Chester FC start up again |

In fairness to Klopp, he brought a top quality squad to Chester preseason and let us have 100% gate receipts.

I might be wrong though |

I might be wrong though I didn't see your post before I posted and I've said something similar. I think you are spot on there. |
