TuffLuff Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 31 minutes ago, The Baron said: They probably won’t talk to me. The last time I was on the radio (via Zoom) with Rick Parry the producer said he would only come on the show if I didn’t ask any questions and my microphone was switched off when he was being interviewed. Out of interest is there any reason for that? The EFL don’t appear very transparent to me (for the record I didn’t think Morris & Pearce weren’t and neither are Gibson & Couhig!) but I think it does raise alarm bells for an organisation of that size. That lack of openness/transparency is nearly encouraging owners find their own ways against FFP and therefore spend over what they can afford on the premier league gamble. That’s not to excuse any owners from blame, but from the outside there is a culture that’s nearly encouraging their behaviour?

Giving any credence whatsoever to what Barry The Ram comes out with is pure lunacy. Nah, comparing that analogy to a Twitter account might be though!

I know my mothers and great aunts divi numbers if I didn’t bring the little yellow divi ticket back when I went errands to the Co-OP for them I would be in trouble.
