Watching the other teams here are a couple players I’d love to poach in Jan if we are in the same position now:

Josh Sargent - ST - Norwich
Jason Knight - DM - Bristol City
Imran Louza - DM - Watford
Giorgi Chakvatadze - AM - Watford
Femi Azeez - RW - Milwall

Those are the only ones I’d have and they’d cost a bomb.

If any I’d go for Chakavatadze who I think has a release clause.

They could well be waiting to see how the season goes for them so the deduction can materially impact them even following any appeal.

It’s lucky these teams get the parachute payments to soften the blow of relegation otherwise they would be able to have massive squads and keep signing players.

had a look around online, most reports have a lot of 'could' and 'may be' as to timing and scale of punishment.

Also found this on one of their blogs- turns out they've just been unlucky:

'There are still no evidence Leicester have breached any PSR rules. They can potentially go free. They could also be deducted. So far, no one knows. Spreading rumours and assumptions is so wrong. This is especially true if you will be taken seriously long term. Several unfortunate situations contributed to this outcome. However, there were still a lot to look at with positive eyes.'

If we're looking at players who can maybe make the step up to the Prem we look at 4 of those maximium. Ironically 2 of them are at Watford.

Josh Sargent has already played a full season in the PL and was rubbish.

I didn't name him tbf but i would say he was young and he's done enough in The Championship to potentially deserve another shot. At the age Sargent was playing in Prem, Haji was scoring 0 goals for VVV-Venlo, so i don't think it would be fair to judge based on that.

Norwich fans blaming their predicament on their board being affiliated with the Soul Church or something. I think really they've gone off the deep end this time.

Might explain their player's resemblance to Lazarus at the CBS, mind.

The football fan would hope he sees out the job he [might have] started with Boro. Like would Lampard try and finish what he’s got going here if someone with deeper pockets on a more negative trajectory approached him. You don’t know people do you.

According to some outlets Edwards is in line for the Wolves job and Mckenna is interested in the Celtic job, obviously could be all nonsense but it would be a big blow to both Boro and Ipswich, just more things going our way this year

Rob Edwards: Middlesbrough reject Wolves request to speak to boss over vacant head coach role

Middlesbrough reject Wolves' request to speak to their boss Rob Edwards about the Premier League side's vacant head coach role.
www.bbc.co.uk

BBC reporting Edwards about to be approached...hilarious if true...will probably scupper their chances of promotion (fingers crossed).

Edwards would be mental to go there now, real Mick Beale QPR-Rangers vibes.

But it's football, he will be offered a lot more money, closer to home and old connection + will back himself. Be gutted if was boro fan.

Find it bizarre that it says Gary O'Neil was their first choice considering how unpopular he was when he left.

I don't get the demand for Rob Edwards. He's had a very poor record apart from 6 months at Luton with a team he inherited and then effectively got hatters relegated through 2 divisions.
Promising start at Mboro but have stumbled a bit lately.

If they don't get a points deduction I would think quite a few clubs who got the deduction will be suing the EFL

Not sure it's that big a factor in Middlesbrough having a good start.

They've only won two of the last eight games in any way.

There not doomed though are they? Even under pererria they didn't actual play as bad as a team you would expect would play when not won a game all season

He did his badges at wolves. It might be a good move for him if he keeps them up and if he doesn't there a club with more money than Boro anyway to bounce back

Why not? You think 8pts is insurmountable or you don't like their squad?

New manager bounce and that gap could be down to 3 or 4 within a month

Saying that I'm with the other poster through who said thinks Edwards is a bit overrated although he is doing a good job at the mo tbf
