I did wonder if he'd buy them, you know

Obviously he'd need to hire people in to run the place but they're doing that anyway.

It's kind of an embarrassing kit sponsor on the one hand, but equally it's not a betting company, so I'm not sure I'm in a place to laugh too loud. They're finally putting some people in the right jobs from what I can see - not sure about some of their hires to be frank, but that doesn't really matter as once the structure is there they can replace as needed.

Still going to be a tough league for them to get out of next season, some big clubs down there now (and not just "we won something fifty years ago, you know", but actually big), and some clubs who are very good at that level.

And then they have to stay in the chumps which is increasingly hard to do for newly promoted sides - not quite the same as the gap from the chumps to the Prem but certainly more of a gap than there was even five years ago I reckon.

If they don't get up in a couple of years or so I reckon the s**t might start hitting the fan for them. And if they do they might be surprised by how hard they suddenly find life in Tier Two...
