Ten days before the season starts they have no manager, coaches or backroom staff and can only field a first 11 the majority of which are the youth team. They also have the North stand closed because it has structural issues and needs urgent work so the safety certificate has been revoked which seats a lot of those who purchased a st.

feel sorry for their fans but jesus what a basket case and cant see them getting out of this with their corrupt owner who has stated he will not be funding the club anymore or paying the wages outstanding to players and staff.

yet again its the fans and community that suffers whilst the FA fail to do their job again when it comes to overseas owners.

typical that their first game is against Leicester

Ricketts · 2025-07-29T13:55:54+0100

thank goodness they are not playing us. Shades of Bolton.

Would be a nailed on 0-0 followed by a 10 game Sheffield Wednesday losing run

Why typical?

Be ause Leicester who seem to have nine lives now get the easiest first game of the season that anyone could wish for when Sheffield may not even be able to field eleven professional players

You lot do make me laugh. Every time I post something you always respond, that’s why I am still here. I am never on the wind up.

Will congratulate you when you go up too. Some of you take it to heart ⚽️

One of the stands at Hillsborough has been closed as well. Chansiri got a company in Bangkok who never flew out to see the stadium to do the health and safety check

Also, Wrexham are at it again. £7m bid for Nathan Broadhead, Ipswich’s 6th choice winger.

no_loyalty · 2025-07-29T21:44:18+0100

Absolutely no chance Sheff Wednesday are staying up this season, even if a takeover happens in the next couple of weeks.

If only we could go for it like them Broadhead would be a great signing

£7m on Broadhead is a massive overspend imo. Game of opinions and all that but I don’t think he’d be an every week starter here.

Could play upfront or on the wing for us. Would give us great versatility.

I agree with that, it’s just an insane fee for a 27yo.

SkyBlueCharlie9 · 2025-07-29T23:06:55+0100

Broadhead was left out of Ipswich's friendly tonight. Wrecsam are favourites to sign him. Boy are they going full on. Could be pushing for playoffs if they get a couple of central defenders as well.

SeaSeeEffCee · 2025-07-29T23:11:46+0100

I would expect both Birmingham and Wrexham to be challenging for the play-offs to be honest. They clearly both have the cash to compete and Wrexham at least certainly don't seem to struggle to attract players to the 'project'. Wrexham sticking around in this league for a few years might be beneficial for everyone to be honest. Their documentary is massive in America and if they can increase interest in the league it may result in some bigger international TV deals.

TomRad85 · 2025-07-30T06:34:35+0100

If my club was heavily linked with signing Broadhead and Keiffer Moore for a combined £11 million, I don't think I'd be too thrilled tbh.

Next season you’ll have plenty of those. Blackburn, PNE, Sheff Utd, Sheff Weds, West Brom, Portsmouth, Ipswich, Derby…busy year for rivalries

KenilworthSkyBlue · 2025-07-30T06:54:28+0100

Wrexham are building a capable midtable Starting XI but as it stands it still needs a huge amount of work. They won't be anywhere near play offs.

And as predicted they're having to majorly overspend for what are fairly average players at this level.

KenilworthSkyBlue · 2025-07-30T07:10:58+0100

Also slapping £7m on Broadhead is categorically awful business.

Not to mention that he has a history of recurring hamstring issues.

Correct. We're at our strongest since the last century. It's horrible when a shite owner destroys your club and you have to start again.

You now have the owner who is destroying your club and he hasn't got a pot to piss in yet refuses to sell your club. We are rivals at the moment because we're both Championship clubs. But we're closer rivals to the clubs that will be pushing for promotion than with your club.

I always have sympathy for those supporters who get their clubs crushed by owners. But somehow I don't see myself having an ounce of sympathy for yours.

Birmingham's challenge could go either way. Team full of strangers without much Championship experience. Spending a fortune doesn't mean a lot. Ask Stoke.

Wrexham need to spend a lot just to become an average Championship side. This season will be more about consolidation than anything, then continue their journey.

Wrexham have seemed well run since the takeover. It's the media fawning that makes them unlikeable. I think they would be happy just staying up in truth. Birmingham however are the ultimate American narcicistic club and their fans have become generally loathsome too.

Paying double the price for Welsh players is an interesting transfer strategy - hopefully they’ll come and bid for JDS

Chicken Mcgraw · 2025-07-30T11:46:41+0100

What a fantastic signing for Ipswich. Interested to see how Boro use the money.

We starting our business any time soon or?

One thing we can guarantee is Wrexham win at our place. It’s what Welsh clubs do at our place! (Not looked at stats but from memory games against Swansea / Cardiff / Wrexham being frustrating!)
