He seems to have a lot to say but I don't remember Gary Neville complaining when he was raking it in with Sky and the Premier League whilst anyone outside the PL had to suffer. In fact, he still gets around 1m a year from Sky for talking nonesense. And then there's Salford..

I have signed but agree with everything Ian has said. Not one of the teams in the premier league thought about any of the teams from the lower leagues. The premier was all about money, the ESL was all about money, if the whole of the premier league had been invited into the ESL, then I do not think there would have been, one premier club arguing against it. Rant over.

Yes, the only reason Sky have been so vocal about this issue is because they would have been excluded from an ESL broadcasting deal.

Sky sports news went overboard.
BT mentioned it a little.
The beeb was just a bit disgusted.
ITV was a bit miffed.
GMB was mortified.
Sky news. (See above)
Channel 4 was mysterious.
Channel 5 wasn't asrhed.
And Boris went with the popular vote.

We have to be protected from the absurdity of foreign owners wanting to profit from football.

Aaaaaaaggghh!
