Don't you just hate Giles Clarke?

I dunno whether it's me (it probably is) but this guy just seems like a
public schoolboy. I find his whole manner, tone and most importantly his
views completely old school like a tory politician in the 1980s sort of
snearing a bit like the Spitting Image puppet of Norman Tebbit.

One week he's saying "we've made our position perfectly clear" - the next
thing the EPL is almost certainly on the cards.

I do not much care for IPL but his assertion that franchise system has never
really worked in English sport is really something that many fans of
English football need to hear about.

He comes across as a stiff snob who is miffed he has been preempted from
making a killing out of an English innovation (Twenty20).

I do not hate him. Just pity his position. Hopefully, Mr. Sanford (his
favourite moneyed man) will be able to help him some.

Go on then: give us a list of English football clubs that are 'franchises'.

For the benefit of accuracy, Adam Sanford is a West Indian medium-paced
bowler of mediocre repute; Allen Stanford is an entirely different kettle of
yams.
