Wages to turnover 126%. Ouch. As I've mentioned before, most Wednesday [emoji23] fans I know didn't even know what FFP was until recently. Many are still confused....

Sheffield Utd's fall from early season pace setters has been even more spectacular.

A little bit similar to our first season back in championship.
To be fair, they are 7 clear of third with a game in hand and 8 clear of fourth with two games in hand.

Massive charge £40 to sit in an end stand, to watch an avoid-relegation campaign. Rip off. I've paid £35 this season to watch PL football from the NS.

Yes...be good for "small clubs" if Cardiff came up and then went straight back down next season.

They could learn a lot from the gambling alchemist Mr Tony Bloom.

If Burnley do qualify for Europe against the odds, I may fancy calling Jason Mohammed on 606 suggesting the Clarets could "gift" or "sell" their place to Massive Wednesday or Champions of Europe (Leeds) because those two clubs have so many more fans and therefore it would "make more people happy".

Another massive defeat at home for Massive, League One is still possible next season

I like to have a look at the Massive "Owls Talk" occasionally and they were convinced that with Chansiri's investment that getting to the PL was a forgegone conclusion until it all started to go "pear-shaped" with the play-off final loss to Hull.
They've splashed out a fortune on injury-hit and/or ageing players on their way down - for a start, there are 3 ex-Burnley players all getting huge wages by Championship standards and lengthy deals at that. Both Dave Jones (33) & George Boyd (32) left Burnley because the Owls were offering longer deals and it is the same for a former Claret, Steve Fletcher (31 this month) who has been injured half the time since arriving at Hillsborough.
Derby, another club with a foolish owner, are the same - they've signed players in decline like Chris Baird (36), Curtis Davies (33), Tom Huddlestone (31), Dave Nugent (32). Experience is vital but not too many "oldies".

Massive get tough with BBC local radio, over a small cut in broadcasting payments.
Cutting off their nose to spite their face, springs to mind.
