If I understand the article correctly, the match Mr. Fear attended with Mr. Reynolds was the one where Wrexham clinched promotion to League Two.
Josh Windass lives up to his family name and Sheffield Wednesday get promoted to the Championship
This season was a first. The National League, EFL League Two and Championship promotion playoff finals went all the way to penalties, and the League One playoff final was literally three seconds away from going to penalties.
ā¦
Clapton CFC are promoted out of the feeder leagues. They get to enter the FA Vase, and could play in the FA Cup if another team doesnāt enter (although they are unlikely to get selected this year, if there is a place)
Carlisle United have announced their retained list
The biggest surprise on there is that Joel Senior has been released, I have heard rumours that he wanted to be closer to his family in Cheshire so maybe there was no point in offering a contract, Someone nearby will sign him (Stockport, Salford, Tranmere, Crewe or Wrexham are the closest in League Two). Jamie Devitt and Brennan Dickenson have recurrent injury problems and Carlisle canāt afford to have them and a backup player for when they canāt play, and the rest are youth players who didnāt make it to the first team (although Owen Moxon is proof that their professional careers arenāt over yet).
Say what you will about the Ted Lasso show, but thanks to that I understand a lot more of @anon73430903ās posts on this subject!
Cambridge United might get rid of their toilet seat badge!
However, Martin Calladine, author of āThe Ugly Gameā and āFit and Proper Peopleā, has been particularly scathing on social media of Johalās claims of wealth.
"The situation is simple: despite claiming to have lots of money, none of Johalās UK businesses show any significant profits,ā he tweeted.
"The main ones are a drinks āempireā which sells a drink you canāt buy and where two companies are late with their accounts.
"The other main area of operations is a supposed āprivate equityā firm.
"Itās not a private equity business, itās a year-old off-the-shelf limited company, which doesnāt even have a website.
āFinally, there is sarblimited.com, a crypto ponzi scheme, which uses the PE companyās branding.
"Johal has made no public comment on why an active fraud is using his companyās identity. This whole episode is absurd.ā
We donāt need another cryptobro buying a football team, Crawley Townās disastrous season should be enough warning to anyone who thinks otherwise.
Wigan Athletic are already starting next season on -8 points, and at this rate could end up with as much as a 20 point deduction before the first game.
theyāve been trying to coax him for years. now they have fired Messiās old managerā¦ will he still come? or is Saudi money too irresistible? BarƧa canāt afford him now and he doesnāt have a contract with PSG anymore. Messi does have a fab home in Miamiā¦
where will he go?? 
Gotta love how ethical sporting orgs have been looking like lately
They just picked up our former fave Josef Martinez from here in the ATLā¦ his first game against AU with MIā¦
I thought they were trying to get betting sponsorship out of sports.

Just look at Them.
MLS is supposed to have a salary cap. I donāt see how they can have Josef and Messi on the same field and have room under the cap for anyone else.
Didnāt they run afoul of something along those lines? I think it said that in the articleā¦
It just said āroster violationsā in 2021. Maybe thatās what it means.
I guess itās just weird that Messiās salary at PSG was higher that many MLS clubās whole payroll, but somehow this is OK. I love watching him play, but it seems like there should be something to balance that out.
Wha?
Come sit by me, old man!
So I got some more info on this, from my friend who pays closer attention to soccer than I doā¦ apparently the Saudis offered him a boatload of cash (like over a billion), but still went with Inter Miamiā¦ apparently, how theyāre dealing with the salary cap stuff (which apparently, there all sorts of weird loopholes for it anyways), is that he gets whatever his salary is, but he is also getting paid in other ways - like heās apparently getting a stake in MLS? And likeā¦ shirt salesā¦ so it might not make up for the 1.2 billion or whatever the Saudis were offering, but all that together might have been enough to make living in an authoritarian country seem less attractive even with all that bankā¦ It could also be moral objections, and maybe his wife said hell no to living in Saudi Arabia for any length of time (thatās my friendās speculation).
