Millwall fans on the pitch taunting the Bradford players and fans.

Gutted for Bradford, but have to feel for Steve Morison who is vocally ashamed of his own fans. Embarrassing club.

[Adam]

Selfishly I'm glad Millwall have gone up, as it means we don't play them next season and I can easily go to Bradford away, where as I'd never go back to The Den. Not surprised their fans have seen fit to wreck it, surely that's the only pitch invasion ever at the new Wembley? Hopefully the last as well. Feel for Morison, Harris and the rest of the players and staff but soon enough they'll get over that and be able to enjoy themselves.

The Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani has taken full control of Leeds after buying the remaining 50% of shares held by the co-owner Massimo Cellino.

Radrizzani, 42, bought a 50% stake in the Championship club through his company Aser Group Holding in January and it has been widely reported he had the option of completing a 100% takeover at the end of the season if Leeds failed to win promotion.

Radrizzani, who has also becomes chairman with immediate effect, told the club’s official website: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to become a custodian of this great football club.

“The heritage and history of Leeds United attracted me to the club and having spent time at games and at Thorp Arch, I can see that we are ready to move forward to the next level.

“This is a long-term commitment, there is a lot of hard work ahead of us and I am aware of my responsibilities as owner of Leeds United.

“I can assure all supporters that everyone at this club will be doing all we can to build a successful team at Elland Road.”

Nile Ranger has been jailed after admitting online banking fraud. The 25-year-old Southend United footballer was sentenced to eight months for conspiracy to defraud by obtaining bank details and transferring money.

Does Nile Ranger have more prison sentences than goals in his career at this point? I think he might tbh.

[Colly]

At least he's going up in the world, online bank fraud is a lot more white collar than his usual batterings and drug offenses.

Norwich City have appointed Daniel Farke as the club’s new head coach. Farke arrives at Carrow Road from Borussia Dortmund and becomes the permanent successor to Alex Neil, who was sacked in March. The 40-year-old German is joined by countryman Edmund Riemer, who will take on the role of assistant head coach. Both have put pen to paper on two-year contracts.

I hope this is because he's been offered a PL job rather than an indication that the new ownership is no improvement on the previous regime.

Makes it sound like Norwich got a coup with the Dortmund manager when in fact he's the manager of their reserves squad.

Harry Redknapp says he wants to sign former Tottenham Hotspur defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto for Birmingham City – but that the player has told him he is more interested in a career in pornography.

Because if you do a job you love you'll never work a day in your life.

His name literally has Ass in it and that's the best you can come up with?

Apparently Blackpool have only sold 5,000 tickets for tomorrow, as their fans continue to boycott their ownership.

The legal history section on his wiki page has about 12 different entries. That includes an FA fine for homophobic twitter posts.
He's scored 16 career league goals.
