Sam Barnes was shown a straight red card for this mistimed overhead kick🟥 Harsh or deserved? 🤔

This is one of the most unforgettable moments in Premier League history

Guess who’s back, back again? 😎 Confirmation that Owen German has rejoined the Magpies on loan from @altrinchamfc on a deal that runs through to the end of the season. Welcome back, Owen! #WeAreChorley

The National League Transfer Window is now closed. Thoughts and prayers are with Robbie Savage, at what is understandably a very difficult time for him.

Update - we’re finished

@JustinWalley10 Not sure why but this appeared on my timeline just as I was thinking about what to read this Easter. 1 copy bought here

Thanks to the 1 person, whoever you are, who bought my book in the past 3 months! Because 1 copy sold is better than 0 copies and means my book is still 'alive'. Somewhere.

@CJPhillips1982 No

Should Southend United have been given a late penalty at Altrincham? Here's what Kevin Maher thought: echo-news.co.uk/sport/25958337…

I officially hate Altrincham 🫠 Unfortunately, the story of our season… getting beaten by teams who are sitting in a low block after scoring early simply is our kryptonite. Can’t fault The attitude to keep going but beyond frustrating. 🦐

@SUFCRootsHall how do beat top of the league but lose to these lot?

@SUFCRootsHall Come on blues these are garbage 🤣 where’s that urgency gone that we’ve seen in the last two games? Get your heads together and sort it out!

FT | Defeat this evening. AFC Telford United 3-0 Macclesfield FC

The whole nonsense of inspection needs ripping down. Emperor’s New Clothes. It’s all horseshit - reaching valid/reliable high stakes judgements about a school based on a short visit by strangers who couldn’t do a better job but presume to judge. What a job .. demoralise a community of professionals with zero responsibility for the fallout and then leave, spouting crap about being champions of disadvantaged children. The delusion of it. 😡

@henrywinter I fear that this will keep small clubs small and those big ones big, will bring an end to change over time

New licensing system for the 116 clubs in Premier League, EFL and National League requires them to hold “sufficient resources” to steer them away from any potential “cliff edge”. Level of risk will be assessed on a club-by-club basis by Independent Football Regulator. From 2027/2028 season, clubs in the top five divisions will require a licence from the IFR in order to compete. Clubs need to show liquidity to meet their financial commitments and cope with "stress" such as relegation or withdrawal of owner funding. Club liquidity will be monitored on an ongoing basis by the IFR which can also impose measures such as “reducing expenditure or restructuring debt”. (Players not counted as liquid assets as “clubs cannot readily realise their value outside transfer windows”). Clubs must also show evidence of “having meaningfully consulted" with fans. “It cannot be right that so many clubs exist on a cliff edge where one change could threaten their entire existence – fans should be debating formations not finances,” says IFR CEO Richard Monks. “Our licensing regime will ensure that club risk is managed appropriately, creating a more stable environment for growth and investment.” Four “key risk factors” that IFR expects clubs to “monitor and mitigate” are... *Business Model – funding gaps between income and costs. *Liquidity & Cash flow – the ability to meet short-term financial obligations. *Solvency and Debt – risks to operating in the medium to long term. *Governance – adequacy of financial decision-making and risk management.

@Inter_Alty1977 Some heroes there

What I see here is what I’ve always seen from the club - 100% total transparency and clarity, some other clubs would do well doing the same… Radcliffe are very fortunate (like a lot of football clubs) to have an excellent owner who puts his own money into the club. A club that’s needed huge infrastructure investment over the last couple of years. A fortune spent on the best pitch in the league. A ground invested in to become NLN compliant ie floodlight upgrades, turnstiles, food kiosks, fan zone etc. A lot of money (clearly) has been invested into the football club - it needed it as it was previously left to rack and ruin. A club budget or club spend is different to what a first team budget is… There’s a saying in business, you have to speculate to accumulate and that’s exactly what the owner has done, again like many other football clubs owners have done. But I’ll repeat, there’s huge difference between a club budget (football club spend) and first team budget… So relax, Jordan Hulme is still the top earner at the club on £300 a week 👍

AI predicts how League Two will look in TEN years time 🤖😅

Pat Jones has joined Scunthorpe United from @ChesterFC for an undisclosed fee.

@altrinchamfc @Inter_Alty1977 @TCFC_Official @NL_Enterprise Completely agree but pleasing we changed styles to counter them

🗣️ "We've played a lot better than that this season... and not won" Neil Gibson's honest assessment following today's win over @TCFC_Official 👍 @NL_Enterprise | #Alty
