Right, didn't know that, it's a good deal if you can become part owner without shelling out.

.it cost the new owner £500k for the club and its assets and it cost him over £4m to get it back ready just to play football

Enjoyed the Macclesfield show. Jimbo is quite a character!
Reminded me of Sunderland 'Til I Die in that it's not really about football. If you've not seen that I'd recommend it. It was meant to be about them winning promotion to the Premier League and the first half hour or so is all positive and happy; then they get thrashed 0 - 5 by Celtic in a pre-season friendly. The shift in tone is quite something.

I see the weekend's EPL fixtures have been postponed so we can enjoy Ingurland's WC qualifiers against Albania and San Marino. And they want to hold the World Cup and it's never ending series of meaningless qualifiers every two years now instead of four.
Personally I'd quash the qualifiers and restrict it to the top sixteen seeded nations on a straight home and away knockout up to the final. And if you ain't in the top sixteen and never make it, tough. This is a tournament for the best, not one where no-hopers are given a chance to appear on television.

So much for the romance of the cup.
I think he is missing the point that without qualification games you can't amass seeding points to try and break into this "elite top 16" .

Gerrard has signed the contract and is now the new manager of Aston Villa.

This is true but he does have a very good point about the endless rounds of meaningless qualifying games. It should be possible to seed the smaller countries in some manner, play each other before the winners enter a qualifying round against the larger nations.
England v San Marino has never and will never be a meaningful match. The only impact it has on world football is to prevent hundreds of thousands of fans watching their team live that weekend. It is an utterly pointless fixture.

Wish him well (not too well obviously) but I think he should have stopped another season with Rangers. 'Mind the gap' 😉

Wasn't that long ago that games against Albania were meaningless qualifying games.
Although, to be fair, the chances of principalities and micro-states ever acheiving adequacy in football are pretty much zero, which doesn't apply to Albania.

That makes perfect sense Joe if your coming 'at it' with your football 'hat' on. However the competition is first and foremost about money (deja vu, all over again) hence the max amount of teams, playing every 2 years, filling the coffers of World football with ' filthy lucre '

So do most Rangers supporters, but in the end money talks as does ambition. Gerrard needs to prove himself in the Prem if he is ever to fulfil his long term aim of managing LFC, this was only going to happen by competing with the best clubs in The Prem.
Hopefully we can quickly get back to winning games and re-establish ourselves as the biggest and best team in the West Midlands

Not entirely true, don't forget San Marino stopped England from qualifying back in 94.
