But a front 4 of Clarke, Szmodicz, Philogene & Hirst before they even need to sign anyone is ridiculous

Oh yeh of course, i think they'll win the league personally but just had to point out the team we put out was pretty much set up to lose.

Not often i'll take the side of Sunderland but saw some Blues fans talking about signing Chris Rigg and i think the comments gave me brain rot, i mean, "growing global profile" ffs! These lot are genuinely the worst fans in the EFL, the most deluded, the most stupid and seem to be enjoying being some sort of Temu Wrexham. Being in the same league as them is going to be unbearable.

So if it got the right, he’ll leave a premiership team if they get promoted, to join a championship team who’s just got promoted because a few Americans like them? Fecking hell

Yeh same, i'd even put them above Sunderland who i think are just a horrible bunch of wankers.

If Wagner got jailed for fraud and Blues went under i reckon i'd throw a party.

Embarrassing how they think Wagner is the 2nd coming of bloody Jesus or something. So cringe.

Blues owners are going to gamble it all, it may come off, but if it doesn't, they will be in the shit, big time.

Humphrey ker was on Chris moyles this morning. Denied this and vardy and a few others and the idea that Wrexham will spend 40k a week etc in players.

Think they are being a bit overhyped because of the whole disney thing.

Gotta love silly season though

My main worry is those two pushing prices for average Championship players tbh. Though I suppose we benefit from the other side if we’re selling this summer.

Same. Complete bellends who have spent 20 years trying to tell the world that they are 'a proper club' only to sell their soul to an American desperate to change all of that.

I have worked with loads of them and they always mock us for having a bowl stadium and a drum. Now they are building one and have lightshows before a game. Laughable.

Whether that gets built or not is up for debate but the fans are absolutely desperate for it to happen. The funniest part is that they think they'd actually fill it.

I'd be very surprised if this happened. The wording of the rules have changed. Now they have to take on the Prem without being able to wriggle out of it. They continued breaking the rules so more charges against them.

If they manage to get away with it this time they might as well just drop the rules. Can't see ut happening at all myself.

They'll regret it. So desperate for new owners that they are selling their soul.

Absolutely need the book throwing at them. They have been cheating financial rules to give them an unfair advantage almost every season & wriggling out on loopholes.

The points deduction really needs to be significant to stop them (and others) just continuing down the same path.

The irony that they're still cheating now & are absolutely terrible is most amusing though.

They won't get the decision they deserve. It will be more likely be enough of a points deduction for the Prem to save face and not too much for Leicester to put in an appeal. I would say 5 points max. They deserve much more though.

Quite likely. Clarke and Philogene both had big moves but havent really done much. Also cant see many premier teams signing the other 2.

Hard to overstate how much I'm dreading the blues/wrexham sideshow next season. I don't think (and I hope) they're not ready to challenge for promotion immediately but I do think at least blues will be in the mix in a few years, would be good to get promoted before that happens.

I don't even get the Blues thing that's what pisses me off. I get the Wrexham thing, its kind of unique, what's the deal with Birmingham? Who cares?

Ipswich playing like a team who are about to have a difficult summer.

Delap gone, McKenna will go eventually. They’ll do well to keep hold of Cajuste and Hutchinson. Clarke will be the key man.

I think they'll finish top half but don't expect they'll properly challenge for promotion.

We'll see, there was PL interest in both before based on their championship performances.

Will be again

Don't want Blues or Wrexham early doors (copyright Big Ron). Lets get them when they have run out of steam and the hype has worn off.

Has a team ever done consecutive promotions from league 2 (or 4th division) to the PL (or 1st division)?
