The SCMP Protocol in League Two

Barry threads its way through this book. It's almost like this emotional core that goes through it. And one thing I thought was particularly interesting was Jonathan Taylor's report which highlighted the problem with how football is managed and governed. There are four different financial regulatory systems in each league. Fairness is one issue. It's sustainability is another issue. The real time financial monitor and expertise you would need in place to be able to make sure that clubs weren't doing what they shouldn't, says Alan Pardew. Because when an owner has financial stress he then impacts on his own businesses as well. That's my view - the football club should always be protected.
