Hypocrite

that guy is an absolute muppet.

Anyone heard from Highland since lockdown?

Hope hes ok

To be fair, I rate neil. Think he is a pretty good manager, and has done a wonderful job at Preston. His comments on this do rankle a tad though.

A jealousy of Leeds.

Not news to most of us, is it?

I only think some of these clubs do so well because most of the clubs in the bottom half of the league have either been stuck with FFP issues with massive player wages due to being in the PL recently or because their budgets are too small e.g. Barnsley.

If you want to deflect from the problems within your own club, have a pop at a big rival club to try and garner some support

That's all this appears to be.

But Neil's problem is that LUFC players came to an agreement to defer wages. It was not imposed and was not a shock of looking at your account and seeing you have not been paid when you expected to be paid.

It's not a good look for him as it shows a clear misunderstanding at best, and at worst, some kind of deep-seated dislike that colours his ability to think critically

Just want to point out, he never actually mentioned Leeds in his comments. Just reported that way, he said clubs that deferred wages, didn't name us.

These are business model decisions and clubs choose how they do things.

- If successful, it pays off. Like most clubs promoted to Prem in last 20 years, as well as when Wilko got us up.

If unsuccessful, it hits clubs hard for a long period, like us since relegated and clubs like PNE and Blackpool since the 60s and 70s, and Portsmouth and Luton etc.

Neil and Neville have no justification for trying to tell other clubs how to run their business model as long as the business models used are within EFL boundaries and constraints

... and that was from mid-April, some 7-8 weeks ago
