Jordan James with a consolation for Leicester, would be great signing.

Angry lot aren't they? Almost as if they'd spent last night walking around in the freezing cold looking for an non existent fireworks display. Again:

Hundreds gather in Birmingham for New Year's fireworks display that didn't exist

AI adverts are believed to have duped people into attending a non-existent New Year's Eve celebration.

Tbf to them, they purchased championship players. There is a lot to be said for players that know the league. Windass, Moore, Sheaf, Doyle and Hyam were very sensible signings to get them used to this level. Next year they’ll be a force.

Birmingham signed players from here, there and everywhere.

Pity that the likes of Hyam, Sheaf and Doyle just went straight for the payday though. The league doesn’t need yet another piss taker blowing up transfer fees and wages.

That looks a lot less than 62,000.

I counted about 23 and would assume there's at least another 23 inside the ground, but still, that's a tad short of 62,000.

Probably all season ticket holders. I’d anticipate at least 7 walk-up sales on top of that only leaving 61,947 empty seats.

Click to expand...

On Friday, Major League Soccer club Philadelphia Union announced that they have transferred the 28-year-old German left-back to Championship side Birmingham City. Transfermarkt understands that the deal is worth €2.5 million plus add-ons. The initial fee is only half of Wagner's market value of €5m.

Wrexham have done ok but it’s an expensive way to build a team buying older players on high wages with no sell on value. Be interesting to see how the PSR figures look in 2-3 years time.

They've just overspent on players by a ridiculous margin and have essentially cheated ahead of most teams that would come up from League One (I say most because Birmingham are with us this season as well). It isn't anything to be proud of whatsoever.

Stockport would have completed a rise from tier 6 to tier 2 but for those clubs.

If you can point me to a Wagner or Deadpool putting tens of millions in then go ahead.
