The Accrington Stanley Chairman Andy Holt is under investigation for allegedly extra incentivising his players to win, by offering something that is not any part of their registered contracts. I couldn't believe what I was hearing on Five live today whilst on my way to the match.
Apparently he offers to treat all the players who played on a winning match day to a McDonalds burger.
Is this the most stupid thing ever by the EFL? It's a ferking burger not a gold plated Rolls Royce.
Actually the knives are out for Andy Holt as he has rattled those in the ivory tower of the Premier League with recent comments. Holt has recently said 'Football League clubs were like a starving peasant begging for scraps from the top flight'.
The Premier League responded 'We will be writing to Mr Holt to ask him if he wishes the Premier League to continue the support we currently provide for his and other clubs in the EFL'
Holt said other Chairmen support him.
Looks to me that they have passed the crap downhill to the EFL to cause embarrassment in any way they can hence the 'Burger gate ' investigation. In a word, Pathetic.
