They do. Their problem is they've been dragged into the relegation battle and everyone but WBA, Sheffield Wednesday and themselves are picking up points. If they don't turn it around quickly there will be a gap and not many games left.
i must be in the minority... i want leicester to get a competent manager given they have to play Middlesbrough and Ipswich
Yes I'd happily have them survive their purgatory if it meant taking 6 points off those 2.
This Blues fan wants to go all out for Lampard
Kind of shit would happen and they beat us in the playoff final with Ryan Reynolds doing a lap of honour.
We cannot put ourselves in the position of facing Wrexham in the playoffs. The media, the EFL and probably the officials would all be against us in that scenario.
That would be a new Disney fairytale with Oscar’s but you should be publicly flogged for suggesting it
50k a week is madness. This is why we need promotion this season. Wolves, West Ham, Burnley will be too good, Wrexham and Birmingham are spending 50k a week. Thats if you’re ignoring Southampton and likely Leicester resetting
we can’t compete with that
I'm not usually that bothered about the Premier, but the way Birmingham are behaving right now, I am now hoping for the strongest possible three clubs to come down and that they will all be brilliant in the Championship next season.
Let them spend as much as they want if they are buying duds
But are they buying duds? This Spanish guy seems decent considering Ajax want him, and say what you will about Wrexham but they’re hovering around the play off as are Birmingham, If they keep spending there’s a chance that they’ll eventually get it right. I’d also argue that both are a decent manager away from being right up there
Wrexham seem to be buying the right players, but at massively inflated prices (which is why I find them problematic).
Birmingham give no indication that they know what they are doing at all. It's all scattergun.
The frustrating thing is that neither are able to outspend their rivals due to success on the pitch, hence why I think they are both bad for competitiveness in football generally (and yes, I am well aware that there are plenty of other examples of clubs doing this).
They’ll both definitely get promoted eventually.
Wrexham seem to have signed far better players this season/ones most suited to how Parkinson wants them to play. It feels that there has at least been some planning to their transfer policy and some level of consistency.
Birmingham on the other hand appear to have been using some sort of roulette based transfer prediction machine. Which given a number of their signings, may be a segment of some whacky Japanese game show.
Wrexham will do, but I'm not sure about Birmingham. I think they're more likely to end up fucked.
Yeah, I was thinking they might be in trouble if they don’t get promoted soon. Unlike Wrexham who will probably win the league in 5 years time.
That twat was out again talking to the Blues fans about how they are spending money like it grows it trees and the goons were slobbering over him again.
Kind of want Wrexham promoted with us just because the sooner they’re in the PL the sooner they’re relegated and the sooner everyone loses interest.
They stay within financial sustainability rules as it’s a cash injection which is allowed
Both are massive wanker clubs but nationally, both will get very positive coverage. Then there will be another ‘how did this happen?’ story about a club that flew too close to the sun at the same time.
Paying 50k a week in this league is not sustainable, that will end in tears.
Dan Neil to Ipswich on loan for 6 months.
Ipswich not messing around, clearly.
'Not good enough' for us, according to some experts on here, but McKenna and Ipswich clearly think he is good enough.

We are virtually guaranteed promotion and Ipswich aren't, therefore this is a great signing for Ipswich but would be terrible for us.
Crying over not signing Dan fucking Neil is a new low for this fanbase
Please can we all stop saying things like this, just for the time being.
Thank you.
I can only assume you missed the favourite chocolate bar pages of the transfer thread, or the 100 + page Connor Chaplin thread.
virtually guaranteed YIKES
