Been roped into thinking that previous managers have genuinely loved the club, but again, I think Wayne does.
Look at his son’s face at the final whistle. That’s a young lad who is obviously influenced by his dad’s feeling for something, lovely to see.

It when do you get investigative journalism looking at something from all angles these days? Now it’s about publishing ASAP and moving into the next story.

Club should have been smarter than to leave itself vulnerable to being successfully sued by him, but this is a shoddy piece of journalism.
At no stage does the author question whether any of this is untrue.
Which most of it is! There are literally videos and photos from the night in competing papers that say otherwise.
I feel bad for his mental health issues, but i question whether the life coach is helping him to improve as a person if he is happy to front up to a national paper and lie to keep his career going.
For me, not welcome at the club again  while I'm a fan.

The man is a fool, and he has failed the club and himself. He complains that Covid left the club £20m short, but has more or less detailed over £20m of bad decisions in his interview. Those bad decisions have been stacking up for years. As a fan, I had always believed he had those bad decisions covered, so ultimately it was simply at his own risk. Instead, he took the risks and then stacked the consequences on the club, and you, and me, and all the suppliers, staff and players who are now in jeopardy. Awful.

Anger really. Fan or not, Mel and co had a responsibility to ensure decisions they made could be backed up long term, and no matter how good something felt in the moment, they were custodians of something they supposedly loved with history.
They got a lot of leeway for those risks other owners wouldn't have received, precisely because they were fans.
That it has ended up like this is a deep and abiding shame, and although I appreciate losing that much money will not be nice and I am sure they are upset, they have failed.
I am also angry at the EFL for being so badly run it has allowed yet another club to go bust. What exactly do they do, other than negotiate bad TV deals and make things worse?

In tournaments, you make your own luck and this thing about easy runs is total rubbish. We qualified well, achieved a great seeding, and then played well against our group without serious injuries or overexertion. You win the 'easy' run by earning it.
Do you remember when we played the US, Algeria and Slovenia in 2010, and I think The Sun had the headline "EASY"?
Well, we finished second to the US and then came up against Germany immediately. The US played Ghana.
 

Mel rinsing the incompetents at the EFL for one last time:

Wish we hadn't been in this position but hopefully this is the beginning of the return from the brink.

When you run a sports league and you have to release interchangeable fixtures because you mangled the interpretation and enforcement of your own rules, surely you have to consider whether you're the problem...
That said really wish Mel and Co had at some stage decided not to take the piss. De-escalating it just a few years back would surely have just avoided this.
