Although how wonderful this championship league is the football clubs that play in it can't continue to spend 6% more than their income on wages, sooner or later clubs in the league will hit the wall or wealthy owners will lose patience and walk away us included, i find these figures astonishing i'm imagining that the high wage bills is down to clubs paying to get in the prem, we need premier league football sharpish or we may be stuck here playing championship football or worse, we can make it this year can we?.

Of course, Notts balances the books brilliantly, RT doesn't have to put a penny into the coffers and NCFC do not owe him a penny.

I'll have to send you for some lessons with Tricky's old mate, if this continues.
