No idea but I did once see him driving down Earlsdon high street in a Tesla.

Mark Robins definitely drives a White Tesla Model Y. I was charging next to him at the Tesla Super Charger at Woodhall Services the other week.

Inevitably, Robins linked with Norwich job.
Has a buy out clause apparently!?!

It’s terrible and also, it’s very funny because it’s Birmingham.

However, I do think if they persevere with him he’ll do okay for them. Did everything on his own there just to get the shot away!

I don’t think the Brum fans will give him that time though, plus he’s 30 now and they undoubtedly overpaid for him.

No way Robins goes there. He's doing well and he'll be well backed by Stokes owners.

Lives not too far away from Stoke. Miles from Norwich, although he did play for them.
Stoke owners are minted. So are Norwich, but think Stoke's are more likely to invest.

You'd think he'd at least have to get a bit better but given cost, contract length, wage and age, I think they've saddled themselves with a bit of a stinker here.

The biggest whopper in English football and that is saying something. Absolutely desperate to be the main character and picked exactly the right club as the gormless twats gobble up every word and stroke his ego. In fact I'm betting his words and ego aren't the only things of his they are gobbling and stroking given half a chance.

There's a guy who plays for Real Sociedad called Takefusa Kubo who does exactly the same kind of shit. Can pull the trousers down of any defender but misses masses of chances like that every game. I don't get it.

Not just that but the interest from the owner loans will cripple them. Ridiculously high if I remember right

We're screwed, Blues boss says they must finish in top two. So there is only one autos place left. 17th to second by Blues. He should be saying we must stay up.

Long way to go but 1st 10 games can give indicators and at the minute Charlton look the most solid of those that came up. Im sure Brum and Wrexham will get better but i don't see either of them being a top 6 sides this season.

They don't.

It's a 3 year rolling average for any side, even those just promoted. The grey area is down to the EFL not having actual numbers from the first Championship campaign to go on until it's over and they submit audited accounts. They try and get round this by having clubs submit estimates but there is no punishment in them being way off so teams coming up essentially have a free year by telling the EFL they'll fall well under.

It's never been an issue before because most teams aren't spending extraordinary sums in League 1 and then double dipping after promotion.

If Blues don't go up this year then they will be falling well foul of the cap.

They lost a fair wack the year they went down if I remember correctly. They have given out some massive contracts to bang average players.

Wrexham make a fairly significant loss too but I feel they could divert funds from elsewhere to come under the cap if they need to.

Their issue is the quality of the championship and difficulty getting out of it. That doc is going to lose interest pretty quickly if the start is lower mid table every year and then the sponsors disappear.

Their funding is largely covered by US sponsorship so FFP is not likely to be an issue for Wrecsam.... or so their fans say anyhow.

If they do make a significant loss each year as said then FFP will be an issue, it will be for everyone as you can only lose so much over a 3 year period.
