I don’t agree with all that mate.

They belong in the league because they have gained enough points to be there. Simple, those are the current rules.

Manchester City’s model isn’t financially sustainable, and to be fair probably most clubs without wealthy owners models aren’t.

This comes down to the FL having some balls.

If clubs like Bury and Macc consistently don’t pay players and don’t fulfil their fixtures then there needs to be punitive measures BEFORE they implode mid season like Bury. Point deductions should be mandatory for missing players wages. That surely would be fair in the same way that Admin was previously an advantage.

The size of crowds shouldn’t be and isn’t the defining factor of success. if it was we’d have our place firmly in the top half of league one.

I feel for any team struggling. But saying they don’t deserve to be there isn’t right.
