Have there been any football clubs that have voluntarily closed? (Recently, as league champions and that have been well supported and well run... with good sponsors)

Can’t see that side bringing the punters in. Hasn’t Lawson already said he is staying at Poole?

1. Brennan - 7.23 (7.05) 2. King - 6.67 (6.50) 3. Rew - 6.19 4. Klindt - 6.46 5. Lawson - 7.00 (6.83) 6. Jenkins - 3.46 7. Edwards - RS Total - 37.01 (36.49)

There are still rumours of a six team top league given nobody in the championship wants to commit financial suicide by moving up is there a likelyhood someone with money to burn is going to take on Northampton ?

Thing is reading between the lines it looked like the plan was Bewley to Ipswich and Belle Vue retaining Kurtz in 2026 if Belle Vue end up retaining Dan it could leave Ippo having to attempt at some kind of strength in depth approach whatever that may look like.

Premier League and most Championship footy teams are established businesses - not sports clubs in your old-fashioned sense. Even League 2 Colchester United is up for sale as a business, with actual assets.
