Bev Attwood

Bev covers the club as an institution: who owns it, whether the accounts stand up, what the supporters' trust has been told, why a stand has been shut for two years. This is the division where financial rules bite hardest, where a parachute payment reshapes a promotion race before a ball is kicked and a points deduction can undo a good season, and she treats all of it as football news rather than business news. She has read enough well-produced press releases to say when that is what she is looking at.
