I don't think you can pull to parachute payments, whilst it might not be fair I think that more enthusiasm on balancing your own books accordingly needs to be addressed before anyone considers removing what is a lifeline for most struggling clubs. The system is unfair to an extent but so is football in general, at least in terms of clubs being forced into being competitive. The Premier League is extremely lucrative and there have been talks of reducing the money paid which falls down the leagues. In an ideal world, the Premier League would understand that their profits and income can generate a more exciting system. However, they're only interested in keeping the money for themselves. It was a huge mistake by Derek Pavis voting in favour of the Premier League to form and branch away from the English Football League (as did all who voted in favour - off the top of my head, I think there were only two who objected). As for me, the PL and EFL should have worked closely but the blueprint for the PL was always aimed around greed. We have seen the same with the talk of the European Super League. It's taken the EFL some time to adapt, and the rebranding so far has helped to generate more income, but there's going to be further issues if you remove the parachute payments. We ourselves would have been stuffed without the money from our relegation from League Two and made life dangerous within the National League. Yet, I do see how it is unfair but at the same time it really is a lifeline for teams.

That's just crazy, but I do recall a similar thing happening in the UK. I hope the judge throws a stricter punishment.

I grew up staying in and around Winthorpe, I loved the Dunnes Pub until it burned down and the Smiths arcade. The walks along the seafront are some of my favourite memories come wind, sunshine or rain. Skegness is fine, there's plenty to do and things are improving. My early memories are of a run downed area needing financial reinvestments and to be fair that's happened. The beach has always been wonderful, even now with the ugly grass (it's part of the sea defence). Biggest issue is the types of people it can attract, they might not always be the most thoughtful or smartest. Those who act like thugs, play loud music aren't in the spirit of what there is. Single people and couples, they might be best elsewhere but for families it's a great place to escape to.

@Piethagoram I think some fans over did it, but I have witnessed with my own eyes how respectful Luke Williams were to our players, yes, he went off (to which I felt was a mistake) for conceding goals at home - yet he always made sure that he left on good terms with everyone. I have heard from staff how he remembered their names, including folk like @Dan. Will Randall is a flawed signing, but I can see the thought behind it. Randall sort of isolates himself from the squad, I don't know why but even when I have spoken to him - I haven't found him friendly or bothered. He lacks self motivation, I'm sure Williams tried with him but for whatever reason he isn't responsive. Not even to Stuart Maynard, who gave him cameo appearances and he never took that opportunity. Most fault falls on him as a player, I feel. Defensively, when we went up the board and Williams should've strengthened the defence more, along with being more mindful of the two-year deals, I agree on those points.

I can't help it, but it's very true. To be fair, he should've been much better for us but even the first season he had under Kevin Nolan was masked with plenty of mistakes. Thankfully, we were better on goal that season. PS. If anyone wants to join my anti Richard Duffy fan club, please DM me. ????

We shouldn't be afraid to hoof the ball at the right time, we have players further up the field that are capable of bringing the ball down and playing it across the floor. This is a very good signing, he looks physically strong and I can't comment further about his previous performances as I know very little about him. However, I was happy with his interview and comments from those who have seen him play (remember him playing) have spoken highly of him. Comments such as being surprised that he's not moved to a League One club is a good compliment.

I think some have the issue to be harsh on Aden Baldwin, yes he made mistakes but the majority he was played into making them. The slipping and falling over, that could be annoying but I never faulted his effort. People don't remember how poor Richard Duffy was for us - I think him as a captain never reached the levels of criticism that the likes of Kyle Cameron and Aden Baldwin got. The club probably said they were aiming to sign more defenders, and as such they wouldn't increase his pay to a level that both could agree. Alternatively, the club might have had it labelled as a release with the intention of seeing what he would want. He's a good defender, but unfortunately his team mates weren't strong enough to form a partnership that was defensively strong nor less prone to mistakes. All of our back three have these moments, it's mostly down to pressure and poor passing. I wish Aden Baldwin all the best.

It shows how quickly a career cab change, but anyone can miss a penalty. What I find most disappointing is the fact there's a player in him, he has the ability but no manager so far since dropping down to League Two has had that management to get his confidence back up. That's extremely disappointing and shows a lack of desire to get players who have played at a higher level performing well enough. He could have been a star for them. Hopefully, wherever he ends up this time round it will be different. I am not surprised by Steve Cotterill, he only gets the best out of players that are performing well and then gets a higher consistency. It makes me very thankful to have witnessed the Luke Williams era, as it's the closest I have seen to a manager that cares about the whole of his squad.

I didn't want Leeds to go up, so I am pleased for Southampton. I hope that Leicester City and the Saints are able to stay up next season. They're teams that deserve to be the Premier League.

I've been enjoying time with the family, now they're getting older - times like this is rarer but I've been trying to make the most of when we can. Yesterday, it was a little rainy, but today we've had everything but snow and hail. Rain, drizzle, sun, wind, nice sunny weather and then a storm. End of earth type, but it lasted only a short time. We were walking back in it, headed into a shop and when we got out it was nice and sunny rain. ???? Yesterday, I should have noted we also saw that plane which crashed in Lincolnshire, it was flying very low as we was out and it didn't look the pilot was doing it intentionally.

Tom's a good coach, I am sure he will find something. I don't want to speculate on if he decided to leave or if the club pushed him out of the door, we don't know if it was mutual or that the club has just decided to change the direction. I will say, I think we've been lucky to have him as our coach. Watching him train and warm up with the keepers before every game, you can appreciate his efforts and to boot he's a really nice person. Good luck to him as he moves on with his career, I wish him all the best.

Solihull Moors, they did well to gain their league status and were unlucky to lose it. I hope they return because it's another local team, their ground might not be the best but its one I haven't been to in person but know well. Had Gatehead kept their form and managed to reach the playoffs, I would say them but the other three clubs I don't wish to see in League Two.

John Bostock and Matt Palmer made a great partnership, but this season he just wasn't the same. His attitude and desire were never the issue; some players simply find it difficult to adapt when their routine is disrupted. Palmer's injury, along with his own, had a profound impact on him. We require someone with his qualities, but who is more agile. I have always felt Scott Robertson and Matt Palmer would make a great duo - but a defensive minded DM would be excellent to bring in.

Well done, @ARLukomski. You've done remarkably well and have been consistent over the PL seasons. You did an incredible job in winning it! I feel a bit disappointed by @cheeky~k8, but she did ever so well to be fair! It was nice to see her step up and have a good, doing very well at the beginning but falling wayward at the crucial times. ???? I'm secretly very proud, but I just don't want Cheeky to know it. Hard luck, @gtownjohnno and @william1984. Thank you to everyone who has taken part. I hope to see you all join our resident sausage with another fun time next season.

Good player, Richard Brindley. When we first signed him I was delighted, but it's never suited him being pushed into a centre back role. He's best on the ball, being able to open up the play and make runs into the middle of the pitch (useful out wide too). He did a remarkable job covering the position, it's unfortunate that we never saw him quite settle in the role. I think it's best for his playing career to seek first team opportunities. Best wishes to Brinds.

I think Sam Slocombe would be of benefit to us if we added him to the transfer list, alongside Adam Chicksen. Chicksen can be a great player, but we have only had one top season from him and that was under Luke Williams during our National League promotion campaign. Prior, he was very average and had been flirting with fans released list. He's a good player on his day, but we need someone more consistent and up for the fight to push players to be at their best - rather than being selected only when you are at your best. Junior Morias showed that when given a chance he could contribute, and I think under Stuart Maynard he might just get that chance. I don't know what's kept him out of the team, but I don't think these injury talks have always been the case. There's room for Morias to feature, and his pace could be a very useful asset, as is his eye for the back of the net. I believe a lot of people are harsh on Kyle Cameron (on social media), next season I am hoping for him to show that he can be a vital player for us. He's a good captain. Nobody can question that because all the players have stated that they wanted him to be it. I don't think we've had many leaders who are suitable, I mean Jim O'Brien would have been ideal at the beginning of his time, but we have stepped away from players like that. Sam Austin in time could be a decent call, but I don't think Dan Crowley, Macaulay Langstaff, Matt Palmer or Scott Robertson fall at that level. As for those released, it makes sense. I don't think we can say goodbye to Jim until we know for sure that he won't be joining as a staff member. Richard Brindley is a great guy and a very good right back, but he just doesn't fit our system, and it makes sense for him to pursue his playing time. I really hope he attracts a good club, that he can do well and settle within. Connell Rawlinson perhaps should have gone sooner, but it was fair to give him a chance after our promotion. I wish him all the best, it's not his character or ability but his pace and how he fits into our back three. He should do perfectly fine elsewhere, especially at a club that doesn't expect their defenders to play it out from the back. Aden Baldwin is a surprise, but he has made quite a few mistakes, which I do feel he tends to do more positive about in his play when those don't happen, but I can understand that we want a defender who is a bit more switched on. His passing ability may be hard to replace, as he seems quite natural on the ball at the back and could defend quite well - it's just those concentration relapses, slipping over and mistakes which seem to have cost him. It wouldn't surprise me if he ends up with a League one club, more time to do the right things, he should find a club easy. I'm not bothered about those I haven't mentioned.
