Two stories in the papers today about clubs in Championship (QPR asking to be let off its FFP fine and clubs rejecting a salary cap) in effect refusing to be governed. What future is there for the division and the EFL generally if, even now, some owners are refusing to change?
Some of them behaving like Leona Helmsley facing the IRS, without recognising that they themselves have a stake in the regulator. They are members of the league and if its clubs refuse to be governed, the league cannot survive.
Who do they think is going to come to their aid financially if they refuse to change their ways? Rather than admit their own mismanagement, some owners seem to be making the unspoken assumption that they will survive by waiting for other clubs to go under first.
However other industries work, sport cannot succeed if clubs don't recognise a mutual obligation to each other and the league.
For the umpteenth time: football has lost control of itself. It must be regulated properly.
