Financing the Boro
A quick nod in the direction of my fellow Unfortunate Mike Baker and an important post he has contributed to his own site, SmogBlog; a trailblazer of the footballing blogosphere.

Despite last night’s vital 2-1 win over Derby and despite the departure to Nottingham Forest of flop of the season, Kris Boyd, you don’t need a degree in Econometrics from the University of Teesside to speculate that the books may be toppling a bit down at the Riverside. Here, Mike digs deeper.
