An article in which Mark Clattenburg criticises the appointment of an official who's a Luton fan, presumably on the grounds of the potential for unconscious bias, without acknowledging anywhere in the piece that he's a paid consultant for Nottingham Forest.

If clubs rely on one-off, luck of the draw replays to survive, the industry is fundamentally broken. Replays shouldn’t be sacred for that reason. But give the EFL a proper fair deal before you scrap replays. Do these things in the correct order and you don’t get a backlash.

🇩🇪 Bayern Munich & Borussia Dortmund in the #UCL semifinal - and they’re not even the two best teams in Germany this season. Not bad for a league which is apparently being held back by the 50+1 rule and desperately needs private equity investment to compete. There is another way.
