He said if they sold him they couldn't do much as they were already maxed out on salaries under FFP.

Awful wasn’t he

I reckon he will go to Wednesday for a year as it’s his boyhood club, probably after Leicester go up this season (shudders…) and call it a day after that

Seem to be in most pundits/experts top 6 but don't see it myself.

They wouldn't have made it last year without Diallo in the same way we wouldn't have without Hamer.

His contract is up in the summer

He’s always wanted to go back there at some point, he very almost went back in 2015 but Leicester pulled out the deal they kept him and ended up winning the league - funny old game

I would be amazed if he ended up there. There was plenty of pre season speculation but seriously Wednesday don't have a pot to piss in. And he's got to convince Mrs Steptoe

Bristol City now £25m richer from Alex Scott sale. Norwich getting a decent fee for Aarons. Leeds now beginning a player churn. Just to name a few …

There’s a lot of money slushing around the Championship. Selling Vik and buying the players we have feels like keeping up rather than a significant advantage over anyone.

Depends how well they recruit. No point having cash if you spend it all on overrated crap.

It’s an advantage because we’ve done it earlier and although they may not be 100% up to scratch right now it’s better than some teams waiting until mid Sept/early Oct to get them up to speed.

Difference is it feels like we are keeping up with the top half of the league, rather than keeping our head above water (and the relegation zone).

Seem £25 million is the new £5 million for the championship, £35 million doesn't really go as far as it does when Brentford were in this league selling there top players

Southampton don't look all that do they. Problem is the transfer window doesn't close for a few weeks and they probably have 100 million plus to spend if they want to.

West brom fans seem to have done a runner 20200 at their first home game v Swansea, and almost a full away end too

I make us the 3rd best supported club in the West Midlands home and away behind villa and wolves now

Ipswich very happy with themselves for being top after 2 games. Their forum's first 2 or 3 pages is full of self-praise. So they've beaten Sunderland and Stoke so far. Be interesting to see how far they can go considering the number of naysayers saying they were relegation favourites (myself included. They've shocked me).

Honestly never thought they’d be anywhere near relegation but their squad, to my knowledge, hasn’t massively changed over the summer and yet bookies had them as one of the favourites to go up. I’d stick them somewhere in the 10-16 positions, barring some mammoth signings. Manager is very good as well.

I had them down to finish one place above Norwich in the top half.
