Different rules for different teams. Leighton Orient had to forfeit last year because they couldn't get 14 to play.

Definitely seems like different rules for different teams.  That game we played with four outfield players on the bench still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

 

I guess on the flip side won't these teams just have to cram all their games into the same window somehow?  Fixture pileup could be a silver lining.

One could argue that we paid/are paying the price for having a big squad. And perhaps we could have forced the issue by cancelling training and/or closing the training ground etc. Maybe we were too nice.

If you thought the Premier League were bad at handling the COVID situation, Serie A are on another level...

owner-associated sponsorship deals will be permitted, provided they are deemed to represent fair market value.

And City bang just received 2 more sponsors, and yes both come from their owner. Footy is dead, footy was bought and paid for long ago.

Blatant bias and corruption......but hey some even here still believe EPL is clean and well, that its the refs who just happen to suck at their job, yet the same refs continue with zero accountability.
