About Twohundredpercent

Long-form writing on English football: the clubs, the grounds, the tournaments and the money that holds it all up, or does not.

Twohundredpercent covers the parts of football that do not fit in a match report. Clubs in administration and the owners who put them there. Grounds that were sold for housing. World Cups that were fixed, boycotted or moved. Non-league football on a wet Tuesday, because that is where most football actually happens.

What is here

The Club Crisis Index records every administration, winding-up and expulsion in the top five tiers of English football since 1986, with sources. The series pages collect the long-running strands: 100 Owners, World Cup Tales, Those We Have Lost, The Vault and Match of the Week. New pieces go on the blog.
