Championship thread 25/26! (27 Viewers)

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.

Their fans are, in the main, misinformed as they’re used to the lower league model which accounts for revenue.

Championship and above is about profit and losses. They could theoretically make £1bn in income but if their expenditure is £1.039bn then they’re foul of the rules.

Surely it doesn't matter where it comes from, if you're overspent, you're fucked?

Was chatting to the Missus’ cousin on Sunday who is a Wrexham season ticket holder and he said Sheaf has looked really good since coming in but where he’s trying to play progressive passes forward they just don’t currently have the movement.

Also, gave a glowing reference for Hyam but absolutely slated Doyle and said he looks overweight and too slow. Was taking a bit of grief at Stoke away by all accounts.

He says they’re not expecting much from their game with us.

Looks like Gus will be out for our match.

Is he injured?

Just out in Cov

 

[lord_garrincha]

Is he injured?

No, it's his way of an apology for the free kick he scored.

What a guy!

The pressure is loaded onto the management and team.

Sheffield Utd picking up in form worries me, gonna be a difficult one on the 4th.

Cabbage face working his dark magic again, but no cheat code Hamer to score worldie free kicks this time.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I can't believe Charlton are 4th....real dark horses no one saw coming

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Hope Sheff Wed get at least a draw tomorrow. Win would be fantastic

The top 6 I doubt anyone predicted. If it ends even close to that, the Championship really needed it.

 

[TomRad85]

Millwall would be top if they'd beaten us and we absolutely slapped them on their own pitch. A cut above as things stand.

At home to dirty Lesta next, should be another defeat for Fucktastic Mr Fox

 

[Tommo1993]

Sticking with Sheff U finishing top 6

Wonder if they’ll look at sacking Cifuentes if that happens. 1 win in their last 7, not good enough for a side who must need to go straight back up, and are surely expecting a point deduction at some point too.

 

[robbiethemole]

All these from Lesta's board tonight :-

8 points behind Coventry. A fall-off like no other.

Imagine getting a text from your Father in Law saying “Mind the gap” about this too

Cov will go up with zero pressure from anyone unfortunately!

Coventry will have this wrapped up by March, who will be 2nd?

Coventry by bar the best side in the league. Got goals all over the pitch

Too right, bitches!!

Just can't see it
They have also had to get an emergency keeper in on loan too.

Maybe they could do swapsies with Norwich for Manning

Who has let their daughter marry one of them?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You look at where some of the teams we've had big wins against are at the moment it really is baffling how Norwich actually came the closest to anyone in beating us

 

[HadjiChippo]

Might be paper talk, but apparently Norwich want Robins, honestly Leicester could do much worse than to go and get Robins themselves, unless they’re really handcuffed by finances.

 

[wingy]

You say that but Oxford probably had the best chance in reality?

Half the teams that have taken points off us are in the bottom five. If we are seriou… *a single gun shot rings out*

Quote from the Nodge forum tonight, apparently without irony:

Norwich were in front until very close to the end

Manning has apparently said just now that he ‘thinks’ he has the backing of the board. Dead man walking

 

[covcity4life]

I hope Leicester don't sack their manager and bring in my boy mogga!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Norwich
Ipswich
Leicester
Southampton

all have to change their managers surely

 

[David O'Day]

Norwich
Ipswich
Leicester
Southampton

all have to change their managers surely

Norwich - Likely will
Ipswich - McKenna has a lot more leeway left after what he has done there
Lesta - Probably but there's every chance they are skint so it doesn't matter
Southampton - They have gone big in with Football Manager 24 boy

Only through skullduggery though, thinking about that game there has to be more of a sanction to stop the trend, isn't there a corner available if the goalkeeper hangs onto it too long, something similar with a teamm sanction maybe a pen to make coaches discount it as a tactic,of then there will shenanigans around that as well.

Sure, but it’s the only time we’ve even trailed this season.
