@Wheelton_white All true, but it’s minimal risk in the grand scheme of things. That risk paying off, and there should be no reason as to why it wouldn’t - considering that retail has grossed £1.2m per year for the last couple of years in a row, is a chance to strengthen the XI

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@HParkz10 Personally, I like it. Fashion, like music and love, is all in the eye of the beholder.

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@Wheelton_white That’s subjective. If retail was in house rather than run by Castore, the £1.2m per annum it apparently generated, under the new SCR rules the club would be able to spend 85% of that revenue on players, rather than 85% of £120k as stated in the last set of audited accounts.

🚨 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥: Adam Wharton hasn't been called up to the England squad for the World Cup. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❌

He's just delivered an absolute MASTERCLASS in a European final.

@RobertJenrick I can see people dropping to minimum wage then saying the rest of their salary is ‘overtime’.

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@moving_charlie @WLBennett Funny, as I’ve read other articles written by finance experts who look towards private equity as the culperates

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@_ElliottJackson Seems fair to me. Their decision to break the rules to gain an unfair advantage directly affects the lively hoods of so many people connected to other clubs. It would appear they didn’t care about that.

[EFL Communications @EFL_Comms]

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.

In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.

The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

Farage accounts ‘not consistent’ with claim he paid for £1.4 million house with I’m A Celeb fee https://t.co/YOl4FmFpmz

Yet @reformparty_uk are saying there’s no point to renewable energy in the UK

🇨🇳 China just switched on the world's largest offshore solar farm

2.3 million solar panels. 2,934 steel platforms. 11,736 piles driven into the ocean floor. Built to survive force-11 gales and sea ice.

It sits 5 miles off the coast and powers 2.67 million people.

Oh, and they're also farming fish underneath it 😳

@BethRigby Why did he also have to consult his lawyers if he knew it was ‘legal’?

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@secondtierpod He’s just laying it off with no pressure. Proper forward play would be to take a first touch with all the weight of the opponent on him and still retaining the ball. Sadly, that’s a dead art form these days.

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@labourpress @UKLabour It looks like he’s been bought by a wealthy billionaire. Surely, Farage sees that? If he does, he’d return the £5m in the bests interests of the country or resign.

@KieranMaguire Btw, not taking anything away from Hearts. I hope they do it. Nothing better than a successful underdog story.

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

Love to know #Hearts wage bill compared to #Celtic and #Rangers. @KieranMaguire

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@KieranMaguire So Hearts’ achievement is similar to a lower mid-table Championship team budget against teams with parachute payments? Interesting, as all I’m hearing at the moment from one club, is challenging can’t be done and keeping in the division is the only KPI to be judged on. #pnefc

@BRFCTrust do such vital work in our local community. Donations will stay in Blackburn, which I feel is important.

[Gary Robinson @garyrobbo81]

@BBCLancsSport It’s not the manager’s place to talk about budgets in such fashion in public. I’ve not heard other managers at similar sized clubs, with similar budgets to North End talk about finances so publicly this season. For me, it sounds like an excuse. Other clubs are currently punching.
