Some might say the EFL did what was expected of them - if Mel had been left to carry on without being challenged by bodies like the EFL the who knows what sort of a glorious mess he might have put us in. -21 points is the least of our worries given where Mel has left the club financially and is so much less than could have happened if he had kept on making the 'Las Vegas' bets, aligned with his belief he could dance his way out of this with smart accounting, he got in the mode of undertaking.

But, and it's a huge but, I find it skin crawlingly distasteful that celebrities come on television and ask us all to give cash because our society isn't able to support those in need.

It's just wrong, and we all (including me) fall for it every year because we also know that if we didn't fund these charities then they wouldn't get funded at all. 

Indeed - that's emoji-wang

He completed purchase in Sep 2015, the season before we rolled out of the play off places after a 3-0 home loss to Reading (sorry to remind you) on the last day of the season. But hey, play offs, a doddle, waltz them every time.

Bad guy? He put a club that was one game away from the play offs into administration within six years. Too right he was a bad guy, too right he ran the club poorly. A damn site more poorly than all those small business run their own companies, even though they now won't get paid from DCFC thanks to Mel's ramshackle business manner.

Whether we did, or whether we didn't, is actually irrelevant. What we did do (or rather what he did do) was run a club beyond it's means, write cheques we literally couldn't cash and own the club with a level of irresponsibility that will ultimately mean that many suppliers, employees and fans are financially impacted by it.
Stop this drivel about points, amortisation and who was wrong done to and start looking at the fact we are in administration and many other local suppliers will suffer as a result.

Port Vale vs Derby or England vs Brazil?

There's only one person to blame for all of this, one..
He's lied to us, conned us and left us high and dry.
The EFL are applying rules that are in place for every single club. 
We've lost more than we should. 
Morris tried to flount the rules, failed and left us.
Putting us in administration was the final nail.
But if you wanna sing F the EFL for applying punishments to us for breaking rules that we knew were there and knew what the punishment would be then go ahead.

Maybe Rashford thinks he can do better things with his money than the UK Government can, that was kind of the point of the post taken to the ultimate end point.
I've long said if I had my time again I would stand to be an MP (I wouldn't but bear with me) and my 'thing' would be variable taxation. We have a base level of tax, which is needed to cover the running of the country - schools, infrastructure, police, etc - and then individuals can elect to pay more tax (indeed are encouraged to) but they have a say where that tax goes. For example, I pay the base 25% but I can elect to pay another 5% as long as it goes to the NHS. And for the most wealthy those numbers are published and made available to all.

Also, remember seeing this film on posters in India

And this one, that had me thinking as well

That was my attempt at humour.
Won't try again ?

The opposite, no? I don't think @BaaLocks resents the contributions he makes but rather the socio-political circumstances that necessitate them.
Also, he's contributing irrespective, so there's that...

I’d rather the beeb spend money in this or some other home grown sport than spend money on the NFL , a rich foreign sport. That should be left to the commercial channels .
