"If you want some accessible but informative insight into football then I suggest you couldn't do better than the Political Economy of Football website, which is not only intelligible but comes with the added bonus of being written by Addicks fan Wyn Grant."

Accrington Stanley fan Ilyas Khan has become non-executive chairman at the club two weeks after staving off a winding-up order with a £160,000 donation to pay off a long outstanding tax bill.  It is said that Khan, who runs his own investment company after a career in banking, is worth tens of millions of pounds.   One of the hopes is that will be possible to build up relations with the Asian community in the area, including businesses with an Asian background.   Khan has pledged that he will settle the club's extensive debts and provide some money for a future promotion push.
