    6 championship clubs need bailout

    If a bail out is to happen there has to be a formula and consequences for clubs needing / taking it. Imagine if a £50M pot was divided equally between a certain number of teams, for some it may still not be enough to save them. Say one club needed £10M of the pot to survive, can anyone imagine...

    6 championship clubs need bailout

    This has been coming for a while though. The pandemic has brought things to a head but championship clubs particularly have been living above their means for years.

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Yes, the Spagetti april fool BBC report - 1957. I remember it well. It reminds me of funny things my mother used to say. Just after rationing ended after the war, I remember I loved apples and would eat them as fast as we could get them. My mother used to say those apples don't grow on trees you...

    Transfer Rumour Aiden Finnegan

    I think Aiden Finnegan Beginnegan sounds better

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Agree. Just saying that's where we were when they took us over, so hopefully we would want them to leave us in a better state than that.

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    That would be; in the Championship, with a ground we don't own, but minutes from administration

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Yes, some of the bondholders may have been instrumental in this whole saga

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    If I were a Wasps bondholder I wouldn't be very happy about being asked to waive the covenants while they were turning down obvious income.

    The HS2 line will be close by, and that's not going down too well with the locals is it? There was also a bit about Dallas Burston polo club on the news recently, the owner was moaning about the construction traffic effects.

    Bright

    I think we dodged a bullet at the beginning of last season, when he kept hinting about coming back but had no intention of. I wouldn't even want him as a loan now, luckily that's not possible as things stand.

    Bright

    The trouble is we would have to sign him. A loan wouldn't be too bad but there is no one to send him back to now.

    Transfer Rumour Mario Mandzukic?

    Yes, reading the story if true, it seems Strachan was more understanding than I thought. It makes sense we preferred the money to an unhappy player. Strange that Strachan and Jarni seemed to carry on a good friendship following that...

    Transfer Rumour Mario Mandzukic?

    If I remember correctly we signed and paid his club but he refused his personal terms contract, or something like that

    Transfer Rumour Mario Mandzukic?

    Deja vu Robert Jarni was also Croatian I believe, and wasn't he seen wearing sunglasses at the game prior to his non-signing?

    Time For some Perspective

    We were soundly beaten, but Liverpool and Man U were hammered far worse. I can't see either of them being in relegation trouble

    Just had a strange phone call

    It's been 11 days short of a year since we last lost at St Andrews before Friday. MR took us up as champions, losing only 3 games, and I think only Jurgen Klopp had a (marginally) better record across the 4 divisions. Yet we are talking of sacking him at some point in the future if results don't...

    Hamer

    Unfortunately Morrison is right, but people like him are part of the problem. Instead of just saying it's part of the game, they should be condemning it.

    Time For some Perspective

    Interestingly we only had 37% possession against Bournemouth at home, but we had 54% against Bristol City away who are one of only two teams with 100% record. Against Bournemouth, they looked physically bigger, stronger, and fitter than us as well as the difference in skill, and also they kept...

    Time For some Perspective

    I still think Sheff W will have a difficult season. Arguably they have had a slightly easier start than us and have only got 1 more point. Their standout result so far has been a home draw with Watford. They beat Cardiff but they haven't had a good start either. I posted earlier that I think 40...
