Alex Stewart @afhstewart.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The sudden desire was due to the enormous amounts suddenly being pumped in, with a backdrop that the collapse of ITV Digital sent a lot of clubs into insolvency in the early 00s. Add Leeds and Pompey into that and the rationale is pretty obvious 1151
