    Wouldn't it be terrible if someone like Cardiff won it.

    I also think it puts clubs in a difficult situation. If a club is given £250,000 then they feel as if they have to spend it. They might not want to add to their wage budget.

    the finalists have been announced, no Charlton I am afraid and it seems like it will go to a championship club who probably don't need it

    What an absolutely terrible idea. Hope that one of the two Leeds fans or the Forest fan wins it. Those two clubs will have a transfer embargo and almost certainly won't be able to spend the money. That would put the mockers on the scheme and, with luck, ensure it doesn't happen again.

    What a bizarre concept. That said, hope it goes to Exeter for them to use on staying afloat.

    Shame they didnt do a few clubs from each League as no League One team is a finalist

    Hope Exeter win it

    So the money went to..................

    NOTTINGHAM FOREST

    The team with a Kuwaiti billionaire as owner. Not only that, they are under a transfer embargo for the upcoming window so they can't spend it anyway.


    I despair.

    Just about sums up what is wrong with the game.
