Oh yeah, piece points all that out. I am not convinced at all by the recruitment, which is the driving force of it all anyway

In what way?

Chris Wilder's sacking points to a new era in English football If the Sheffield Utd boss's exit seems harsh, there is more to it than meets the eye

Chris Wilder's sacking by Sheffield United is reflective of a growing shift towards long-termism in the Championship: younger coaches, younger teams, attempting to address the financial unsustainability.

Newcastle's owners are paying out millions to their rivals - this is not normal The tentacles of state ownership leave their marks on almost everything

The Club World Cup $1bn, DAZN, Newcastle United and Saudi Arabia’s growing tentacles across world football.

None of this should be normalised. All of it is messy.
