@wearsideview: “Massive news regarding Man City, would be the time for the league to make a statement regarding FFP, but I’m sure it’ll be watered down to a transfer embargo and a fine.”

@Parkersafc: “If we'd beat them in the League Cup final we'd have had European football. Then who knows how that could have changed our fortunes. No relegations, no 4 years languishing in the 3rd tier. Club financially imploded.”
