Can't help thinking that Jimmy Hill gave us a new image back in the day, making us Sky Blue and all that went with it. The sky blue train, the sky blue song and then some. The world moves on and as much as I have enjoyed the sky blue image I've never been a big fan of it. As we once again rise...

I think some of you are over inflating players wages in the championship. Add to that clubs will change their wage structures. I certainly do not want released players that have already had a career, gone down that crappy road before, and would not be motivated enough coming to us. Plus do not...

Of the two list, both premiership and championship I can't honestly say they excite me one jot.

Back with the negativity again? What is it with some of you? Please consider we may actually do comfortably well next season? I've seen nothing apart from a few teams to be concerned about. We strengthened each season from League 2 to the championship. To say just survival should be considered a...

Chris Houghton would do a fine job where ever he went tbf. Decent guy, decent manager and gets the best from his players, while on slightly restricted budgets. Reminds me a lot of Mark Robins, but has proved himself time and again.

This is a misguided view. After the recent pandemic compounded even more so. It would need to be a Villa or club of such staure to be tempting and that is highly unlikely as M's has himself been unproven at championship level? I suspect hardly any team in the championship would double or tripple...

MR's has done miracles under trying circumstances since returning. SISU played their part in backing him. Adi Vievash has been integral to MR's, so if one went the other would go too. Bristol City have no pedigree of top level football. Thie gound is old, their support average (two city club -...

Even if the lease was fully asignable the landlord (Council) must approve it and can attach conditions. Those conditions however must be considered reasonable. It's a good point though - is the 250 year lease asignable? Never really gave it much thought before.

Someone suggesting he would earn 10k a week at Forest? I think not. Unproven at Championship level and Villa did not put up much of a fight to keep him? He would be a slightly unknown commodity in the championship and as has been said he did not feature constantly for us in league 1 until late...

according to flag A we got twins.

There will be negotiations on these revenues you speak of. We are a championship side now, bigger crowds, and we are not going to hand over 100% of those revenue streams. Having us there will bring in better sponsors and a string of other advantages for WASP. Try to think outside the box!

Can we dimiss this Walsh love in? We have replaced him already apparently with a 1.2m agreement for Gustav Hamer who arrives for a medical on Monday so say reports.

Wish we could...should never have left. But we are where we are. History is just that, history and we learn from it.

Birmingham have no pedigree of premier League and are the eternal championship club playing in the shaddow of Villa. Currently in all sorts of predicaments too. Coventry regardless of their financial difficulties (which too many make of) are a far better option and prospect. I fully expect a...

Wilson is injury prone, and while he had his moments including a call up for England, I think he would do well to get a promoted club the likes of say Brighton tbh. He may not even get an offer and be staying in the championship.

Wage average is disrupted by relegated clubs and their parachute payments and contract situations. I sense wages for championship players fall somewhere between 300k a year to 1m a year. A majority well under 1m. An few will be on crazy money where owners are pumping in cash to get promoted. A...

Like any business it's how you run it that counts. The premiership is a pot of gold for some, and a reluctant debt wagon for others trying to keep up with the pack. Small clubs like Burnley can't compete with the likes of Man Utd. If they try then they will be riddled in debt. They don't have...

If I was the WASP owner I'd be chasing down CCFC now to find a deal. I'd want their 18-20k average attendees spending at the Ricoh, using the bars, the casino et al. Plus some 500k smackers in rent and other sundry additions. Hell I'd paint the changing rooms Sky Blue. I'd get my stdium...

I am slightly amazed at the respones here. Surely the weaker the opposition is likely to be the better our chances of staying up? While parachute payments make them all able to spend way more on players, the fact is West Ham or Villa would likely be tougher oppo than Bournemouth or Norwich or...

It looks increasingly bad for Villa after today, and their fixture run in looks very tough. While many want them to join us in the championship I'm really hoping they stay up. They would be a stronger side than say Bournemouth, and if they stay up we may have first dibs on O'Hare who I think is...
