    Gregory Robertson sums it all up, 'all clubs know their position in the food chain'.

    Where do financial cheats fit into the food chain? Is there a built in rule for teams who are have a supposed fairytale history being exempt and excused?
    Southampton, Wednesday, Derby, Leeds, Leicester all seem to get a preferential write up.

    Wigan got relegated, Luton got battered and Bury no are longer in business.

    Where will Reading fit into this model? They've got no history but seem to be let off the hook.

    The two clubs he played the most for in his career are both Radio Sheffield clubs, so that might be why he comes over so negative. He made the point we stayed up because of Wigan. Well if they cheated but he doesn't mention this. He still thinks Stendel is in charge of Nancy so he's not done his homework. Poor journalism throughout the article.

    Agenda agent for the supposed bigger clubs, can't have a little club going against the mold and trying to compete.

    Know your role, stay in your lane.

    Next week he'll be writing that the national league should roll over and let Notts County go up because of their history. Ignore the many other ex league clubs in the division.

    The media love West Ham, Newcastle, Leeds, Forest, and Villa.

    If you read The Epic of Gilgamesh, they were all really strong contenders in the Sumerian Premier League. Because of this, everyone else must step aside, awestruck, and not get in the way of them, at the very best, failing to trouble the Europa Conference League.
