    Watched their game with Luton tonight. Christ we are light years away from that standard of football. What I wouldnt give to watch football anywhere near that level, brings home just how dreadful the standard of league 2 football is.

    And they deserve massive credit for not spending silly money whilst they're doing it:

    This all done with a lot of off field problems that have been well documented in the media. I know one of the lads responsible for the cowshed loyal they have behind the goal and the club has the got the feelgood factor back. I have faith that Hughes can do that here now we have a proper set up with assistants managers and the like. Hopefully Sparks and Rupp have learnt lessons from their past mistakes and give Hughes the tools necessary to finish the job.

    That is alarming. Only 4 teams that are not operating at a loss.

    Aren't there any EFL financial regulations that rule against this type of operation?

    In the Champ you cannot post losses in excess of £39m in any 3 year period but I think they're about to change the rules from next year to a spending cap on wages at 70% of revenue. If you've seen stories about clubs selling their grounds for massive sums of money, it's usually because they need to offset some big losses although this practice is now banned.

    As it stands, finances in the championship are an absolute disaster zone. The average income for a club without parachute payments is £15m and the average wage bill is £35m.

    Yep Pride Park was valued at over£80m, and still is in the accounts of the owners but Derby new owner is trying to buy it for £25m

    Bless em no more parachute payments and would expect their best players to leave, wish we were having our own success instead but I’m relieved we won’t be watching a West Yorkshire derby in the PL next season.

    Best team won but town had a couple of decent shouts for a penalty. Glad there is no VAR in the lower leagues

    Boy the one on LOB was cast iron. The greatest wrong here, was Jon Moss did not review, after a VAR check. Why did Toffolo withdraw his leg with Colback. Leave it in, Moss gives a penalty.

    Lost, and with a degree of VAR doing them in. Beautiful.

    Tw*ts.

    Tbf to Town they have punched way above their weight this season a lot of their fans feared relegation at the start but once again they seemed to have picked up a good foreign manager

    A PL club should take a punt on O'Brien

    Agreed Dave. Felt a bit sorry for them but only themselves to blame really after a sluggish start.

    fans saying Lewis OB could be off to Leeds now!

    Punched above their weight?

    They have received £42M, £32M and around £20M in parachute payments over the last 3 seasons. That's an extra £100M that 90% of the other clubs aren't receiving but somehow we're praising them for only spending %55 of turnover and trying to pretend they're over achieving?

    Well from next year they get nothing so let's see how the turnover and over achieving part looks in 12 months.

    Its their equivalent of us losing the L1 playoff final, but on a much bigger scale. We needed that win to retain several players, and really kick on. Same story for them.

    Happy days. Hopefully they'll be back in L1 soon.
