That Bradford City should be yet again linked with a move away from Valley Parade should come as
no surprise. This time, the local council want them to move to a "sports village" at Odsal Stadium,
which they will share with local rugby league club Bradford Bulls. Many Bantams supporters,
however, are struggling to see what exactly the benefits of moving to Odsal would be to the
football club.

Former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein is being lined up for a return to top football.
The People says Dein is the red-hot favourite to be the new Football League supremo - in a move
that will keep alive talk of a major top-level revolution.
The former Arsenal wheeler-dealer is being tipped to succeed veteran Lord Mawhinney in a key
appointment that will shape the game's future.

Statutory demands are curious documents which have caused some degree of controversy in recent
months in the world of debt recovery. They are served under the Insolvency Act of 1986 and are the
first step in the process of petitioning somebody's bankruptcy or issuing a winding up order
against a company.

It seems as if every other week this Major League Soccer column trumpets the league's uniqueness
as its most valuable asset and most challenging problem.
That opinion hinges on the single entity system which dictates that money, players and
competitive integrity are controlled by MLS headquarters in New York City.

When Sol Campbell signed for The Magpies, there were many who thought he just got his
directions wrong when he ended up at Notts County. An ex England international with a distinguished
career, playing for a League Two club, but for how long? The accusations levelled against Campbell
were that he walked out during a training session.

Former England international Sol Campbell has revealed that he is trying to push a move forward
that would see him sign for Newcastle United. Campbell controversially left Notts County just
months ago and has been looking for a squad since.
"I have had talks with Chris Hughton and if all works out, I would be happy to sign for
Newcastle United," said Campbell.

Just for the sake of it, see below a pic of the most famous phone booth in Scotland, used in the
best movie ever made by a Scottish director that is in fact the best movie of all time!
The plans, drawn up by Bolton chairman Phil Gartside, are intended to bridge the
financial gap between the Premier League elite and the rest of the game, but they are thought to
have little chance of being accepted by a majority of club chairmen.

It has been one of the quieter football revolutions of the last decade Peterborough United have,
over the last couple of years, gone from being also-rans in League Two to being back in the
Championship for the first time (if we gloss over the various name changes) for the first time
since 1994.

They wait and watch. That's what they do. About three hundred or so of them on either side of
you. The older ones seem to be to the right of you, with the younger ones on the left. Watching
football in the away end at Millwall is a strange, surreal experience. It starts at South
Bermondsey railway station, where you're funneled away from the home supporters and down a long
walkway with metal fencing on each side.

This week's Video Of The Week takes us back to the race for the Second Division title from the
1978/79 season and features three matches from an episode of London Weekend Television's "The Big
Match", presented as ever by Brian Moore. The first match is between from Selhurst Park and is
between Crystal Palace and Notts County, the second match is from The Goldstone Ground and is
between Brighton & Hove Albion and Blackburn Rovers (about whom Moore says, "they've already been
relegated to the Third Division, so at least they'll be relaxed) and the final match is from Roker
Park, and is between Sunderland and Cardiff City.

Whilst it is normal for one or two Football League clubs to be given a bloody nose by a
non-league club at some point during the early rounds of the FA Cup, predicting where this will
happen is a slightly trickier business. Yesterday, ITV went with the "romance of the cup" and saw
Norwich put seven goals past a Paulton Rovers side whose defence's pre-match training didn't appear
to contain any extra "hap" sessions.

It seems as if there's been an exponential increase in clubs heading for the courts over unpaid
tax or VAT bills this season. The answer to the question, "Accrington Stanleee, ‘oo are dey?" was
"the League Two club that owe £308,000 to HMRC" until they found salvation the other week. And it
feels like every other lower league Scottish club has been up before the tax beak in recent
weeks.

Just as the Second World War had started at the beginning of the football season, it ended in
Britain, at least at what would have been the end of it. It took, however, many years for the
country to recover from the end of the fighting, so perhaps it is unsurprising that the Football
League was unable to resume fixtures for the start of the 1945/46 season.

When the story first broke that Newcastle United's Mike Ashley had decided to sell the naming
rights to St James Park, it seemed unlikely that he was doing it with the best interests of the
supporters of the club at heart. However, the confirmation made this week that for the rest of this
season St James Park will be known as "sportsdirect.

The events of week 10 only serve to confirm just how exciting the English Premier League is. Though
not as competitive in terms of talent as the La Liga, the Premiership still remains the most
intriguing and captivating football league in the world.
Who would have thought that Burnley would be in the Top 4 for League's best home record.

It looks like the Women's Super League in England, a new semi-professional venture (not fully
professional, as some are saying), will finally launch in 2011 and the application process is now
open for clubs who wish to participate.
The plan is for eight teams to compete in a summer season from March to October, thus minimising
schedule conflicts with the men's game but also going up directly against Women's Professional
Soccer in the United States.

Newcastle United regained the top spot in the Coca Cola League Championship after edging
Sheffield United 1-0 away from home. The Magpies went into Monday evening a point behind West

More than a decade before "The Full Monty", the decline of the city of Sheffield and the effect
of the collapse of the city's steel industry was already well documented. This week's Video Of The

Sheffield Wednesday's attempts to get back into the First Division for the first time since
1970.

After a disappointing start to the season that sees them sitting above the League One relegation
places on goal difference, Brighton & Hove Albion have parted company with their manager, Russell
Slade. This in itself isn't much of a surprise, but it does provide us with a reasonable case study
on the psychology of football supporters and the pressure under which clubs find themselves.

Genius or Madness?
The Premier Reserve League is a valuable resource for clubs in the Premiership. Each club in
the Premier League is able to play in the top league against the reserve clubs from other members
of the top flight. It offers teams a chance to give fringe players a run out and give players
returning from injury, a competitive environment in order to integrate them to game shape.

There comes a point at which inept management crosses an invisible rubicon and passes into
something even more depressing and worrying. There can be little arguing with the case for the
prosecution. Ashley's time in charge of the club has been an unmitigated disaster. He oversaw
relegation from the Premier League when the club had the fifth highest wage budget, has managed to
almost the entire support of the club and managed to fail to sell the club when it had a buyer
which seemed keen to tie up a deal to secure the purchase of it from him.
