The canos incident was just the latest. he physically hits one of our players with no suspension and our player "verbally assaults a ref" and is suspended. Pay no attention to the fact that the call was incorrect.

Regarding being an "embarrassment". Our travel numbers are comparable to the teams referenced even though we are in the championship. You can multiply that number if we are in the prem so yeah, we are a much better traveling team than the teams we referenced. The prem's not hurting for money but the championship could use some more full stadiums. Not a ridiculous proposition that the FA is corrupt or unethical at all. Far from impossible to assume they wouldn't act on it. some of the members of the various committees intensely dislike LUFC so not silly to assume they might act on it. You just keep pretending that they are future candidates for beatification and knighthood.

Leeds should have gone up few years back under Grayson,he just needed a cup of tea from Ken to give us a push,he put a block on it and did not want Leeds going up due to the money he would have had to find when we went into liquidation,the figure quoted was around 30 million,that season it was Ken Bates who stopped us going up,not the Ref,not the organisation,not the linesman,Sir Ken Bates.
