Following on from the article highlighted yesterday on Soccernet, comes an "exclusive" in today's Observer that only three of the 24 clubs in the First Division can actually guarantee to complete their fixtures this season due to a combination of the ITV Digital collapse and the transfer window (no mention of financial maladministration or imprudent chairmanship). A good, readable article is diminished somewhat at the end when Palace chairman Simon Jordan rehashes the argument that would split the football league, saying that the chairmen of each division should be responsible for the running of that division. Without getting into the ins and outs in this limited space, it is an argument that doesn't stand up to close scrutiny once you disregard the blatant self-interest of the first division clubs' chairmen.
