FBA (and other interested parties) - iFollow is a 'TV ST' for ex-pats; all games home and away available except those that are shown live by Sky. Quite a good service and reasonably priced.

Sounds awfully familiar, Hong Kong based companies?

ESPN + covers all Sky games in the US, so, along with I Follow, we do get excellent Pompey service.

As football finance fiascos go, it's a good one, but it needs to up its game before it can challenge ours.

Last minute equaliser by Charlton and 85th minute LuaLua goal for Luton means the points deduction now puts Wigan in the bottom three, needing to beat Fulham to have any chance of avoiding the drop.

Whispers that Sheffield Wednesday are to get a 12 point deduction - reduced to 9 on appeal.

Also Barnsley might be about to get plunged into Administration.

Might all be total crap but it's being talked about openly by fans of both clubs.

Safe to say the bubble has finally burst?

I'm sure there ever was a bubble at our level.

The money in the premier League is just so big you get people risking everything to getting there. I can only liken it to using your life savings to buy lottery tickets.

Cam McGeehan might be a bit cheaper shortly then....

Wigan, Derby, Sheffield Weds. We are going to be starting 2020-21 before we know which teams are playing in L1 for the season. This is a mess.

Clearly, that can't happen. The EFL will hear all the appeals prior to the start of the season. Should any of the affected clubs take the matter to court and win, they'll get some sort of financial compensation, but have to stay where they were put.
