Wake up EFL

Dennis Swift

Tuesday, July 30th, 2019

Now that’s a big relief
A massive weight off the shoulder
Our football club has been saved
But still the problem smoulder
Were not out the wood as yet
And we start the season no less
with no big thanks to the EFL
They could have prevented this mess.

There’s not just Bolton who have troubles
But a few more clubs besides
Notably Bury, their game is suspended
And this is where football divides
Whilst the premier league becomes richer
And with clubs like Bury in crisis
It puts the game into perspective
When you look at these transfer fee prices

The EFL should do a lot more
It’s the season ticket holders that pay
They are that clubs bread and butter
When a twelve point deduction enters play
With no vetting of dodgy owners
They allowed them to bleed the clubs dry
How many more will they allow past the gate
Who never have a money supply

We’ll kick off the season at Wycombe
A game I never thought would be played
Yet we desperately need more players
Many left coz they never got paid
But the EFL aren’t finished there
They’ll deduct more points for the strike
Again, it’s the fans that will suffer
Stop behaving like you’re the “Third Reich”
