In the wake of Southampton's point deduction and relegation this week, OTP looks at the English
clubs which have been left looking like a bunch of bankers. 1. Leeds United Peter Ridsdale led
Leeds to football's archetypal financial meltdown. While they only cost small change compared to
the millions spent on managerial compensation and outlandish wages, Ridsdale's [.
Eddie Johnson once again came on to start the second half for Fulham, this time in a friendly
against Bournemouth. Unfortunately, Eddie wasn't able to add any points to his tally and the
teams ended in a 0-0 draw.
Still, it's good to see Eddie getting chances. He'll probably have one more friendly to prove
his worth to Hodgson against Peterborough United on July 25 before the real matches start.
Flying with passion.

Craig Lindfield is hoping Liverpool will allow him to return to Accrington Stanley on loan next
season.
The striker has scored twice in 18 appearances since joining Accrington in January, having spent
the first half of the campaign on loan at Bournemouth.
He has yet to make his first-team debut for Liverpool and is keen to build up his experience back
in League Two with Stanley.
There's been a clear out of Les Rosbifs in recent days, what with the transfer silly season in full
swing and approximately six weeks of the transfer window still to run. Even though a number of
Englishmen abroad are contracted to their clubs, it gives their owners the prospect of a payday if
they can [.
Morecambe have taken former Liverpool youngster Craig Lindfield on trial, skysports.com
understands.
Lindfield is looking for a new club after having his contract at Liverpool cancelled by mutual
consent.

and 2007.
The English Championship, League One, and League Two divisions are all taking shape as they are
well into their 2009-10 season. Here's a recap of all three divisions along with video
highlights.
English Championship Video Recap
Its still very crowded at the top as Newcastle, West Bromwich Albion, Cardiff City, and
Leicester City are all within one point of each other.
This one's from mid-Novemeber and had gone undetected til now - presumably because most people
don't prowl the internets for highlights from England's fourth tier. Bournemouth's Lee Bradbury
scores a goal after a defender displays quite just why he's in the fourth tier and Lee decides to
plow through his team with the slowest seven [.
This week's featured video is a full length episode of TVS's "The Saturday Match" from April
1983. The main match is a critical match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur from
The Goldstone Ground. Brighton were bottom of the First Division and without a home a league win
since the previous December, but they were still in the FA Cup, and could have been forgiven for
having one eye on their upcoming semi-final against Sheffield Wednesday.
League Two side hit the first of many self-destruct buttons.
League Two big-spenders Notts County have sacked manager Ian McParland.
Speculation had been rife that director of football Sven Goran Eriksson was set to depart Meadow
Lane, just months after he joined the club.
The recession is biting Southend hard, as new figures highlight the problems seaside resorts face

1974: The year of the Watergate scandal, West Germany hosting and winning a World Cup made
nervous by the hostage crisis of the Olympic Games held in the same country two years earlier, the
death of Juan Peron and two British general elections. It was also the last year in which Rochdale
AFC last played outside the bottom division of the Football League.
As we mentioned on here a couple of weeks ago, it took the Insolvency Service to do what the
Football League, the Football Conference and the Football Association had failed to do in spite of
numerous opportunities and declare Stephen Vaughan an unfit and improper person to run a football
club.
One thing that has never been in question about Jermaine Defoe is his undoubted ability. Since
West Ham United nicked him off of Charlton Athletic as a 15 year old, Defoe has scored goals. Be it
for AFC Bournemouth on loan, West Ham United, Portsmouth, both spells at Tottenham and England,
Defoe scored.
Cheltenham Town 1 - 1 Rotherham United
League 2 Saturday 20th September
On the form book this match looked to be the draw which Cheltenham then managed to pull off. But
when they say that a good team will get points from a game even when they are playing badly I doubt
that the sooth sayers meant this badly.

Elton John once sang that "sorry seems to be the hardest word." Well if recent trends in English
football are anything to go by, he was wrong. Sorry is quite an easy word. In fact, 'sorry' has
fast become the simple get-out clause for the thrashed, humiliated football team.
Wigan Athletic not only apologised but refunded fans' tickets after the 9-1 debacle at Tottenham
last month.
