Too much ambition or too little? English football clubs remain at the whim of their owners – Track Record

Alert! Alert! I've written another piece for Track Record. This one is about clubs with very different owners, Liverpool and Sheffield Wednesday. Too much ambition can be an issue; not enough can be deadly. It's free, and ad-free too. Give it a go...

Take your point Colette, but the lads are definitely on the move, across the Shannon. And I'm right under the red dot. #teamWoody

Of course. I'll ask them to leave the old pole up for the woodpeckers, and put up the new one up next to it.

Fella from the Electric has been examining the wooden pole on which our power line hangs. With a very grave face, he informed me that the pole has been severely weakened by... woodpeckers. He seemed slightly bewildered when I punched the air with delight. But... woodpeckers!

I've been penning a few words for the Track Record (new, free, no ads... football, music, etc)... Well, they've got a podcast called Route One. A 15-minute scamper in/ around the world of football and much else. Give it a go. This one is happily me-free!

The trick is to put it in an old actual fireplace. Flue goes out the back and and up the old chimney. Which was swept yesterday.

The other brilliant book is Jakko Jakszyk's self-told life story. A complicated personal background, and a mad journey, thru Level 42, into his own favourite band, King Crimson, is described in high-speed, chatty, style. You'll laugh at rock n roll. You'll cry at human life.

I read a LOT of music books. This year, 2 have really blown my mind. Kevin Rowland's memoir is painfully honest and self-critical. You end up wanting to reassure Kevin that it's all been worth it, for us at least. Hopefully for him too. Those records! This book!

There's a new thing. Called Track Record. Free. No adverts. No clickbait. Just decent writing about sport, music and stuff. I've done a piece about the insane levels of both Crisis and Panic in football. And why it's happening. Give it a go.
