my apologies yes he is
Ya they doing a terrible job so far..Considering the outlay, the recruitment is very weird for a club of their size. Older players on large wages. £7.5m on Broadhead, £6.5m on Sheaf etc. with no real sell on value.
For a club whose ambition and budget is premier league, signing a large chunk of players who are known quantities and very unlikely to be able to make the step up is strange. But they also still have Parkinson as gaffer so I really don’t think the lads running the operation are the brightest football minds.
Assume you mean Leicester?Thought they were getting Gary Rowett? I think he's a decent manager.
Tbf, the squad they came up with was for the most part an above average League 1 squad, so they needed players they knew could perform at this level.Considering the outlay, the recruitment is very weird for a club of their size.

I agree there. Birmingham just seem to be throwing eggs at the wall and hoping a few don't break, Wrexham clearly went after people who know the league and can be trusted for consistency.Tbf, the squad they came up with was for the most part an above average League 1 squad, so they needed players they knew could perform at this level.
That's their modus operandi; spunk loads on a new squad whenever they need one, because they don't have to think about cash turnover. It's anti-competitive, in my opinion, and very bad for football generally when club(s) can have a budget that way outstrips that of rivals and isn't in any way tied to success on the pitch or a canny turnover of players.
As for how they're doing; all you can say is they seem to have a better clue than Birmingham. At least they try to sign the players that they actually need / suit how they play, even if at massively inflated prices.
Doesn't really need adjustment then does it.I know it is a bit too early to say it, but it looks like there's genuinely potential for about 12 teams to be in contention for one play off spot.
Best chance would be Hull staying in there till the end I think.If (spit) we end up in the play offs, I really don't want Southampton or Blues in the top 6. Come to think of it, I don't want Wrexham. Charlton, Sheff Wed and Oxford please!
They’d just buy a whole new team in the PL.Considering the outlay, the recruitment is very weird for a club of their size. Older players on large wages. £7.5m on Broadhead, £6.5m on Sheaf etc. with no real sell on value.

Yeah, it's anyone's gameNot sure why some think top 5 are cemented.
Would anyone truly be shocked if hull for example fell out of the playoff zone never mind the top 5?
One weekend where they or Millwall etc lose and chasing pack win and it's all very close again.
Don’t doubt that it’s just I’m not sure I’d trust Phil Parkinson to get them up. Similar to Birmingham, it’s great at this stage but if they don’t go up this year, next year will only be harder. How many years can they actually sustain spaffing money up the wall and hoping Phil Parkinson gets them up before things go tits up.They’d just buy a whole new team in the PL.
New rules are designed to stop thinks like that so lets see what happens, they may have snook it in early enough.Birmingham selling their women's team effectively back to themselves to dolly up the accounts so they can piss more money up the wall, pricks
Yeh rules were put in place after Chelsea did this right? Blues attempting to cheat shocker.New rules are designed to stop thinks like that so lets see what happens, they may have snook it in early enough.
They come into force next season, basically doing it whilst they canNew rules are designed to stop thinks like that so lets see what happens, they may have snook it in early enough.
Wrexham will have no financial issues whatsoever. They'll be able to spend until they get promoted.Don’t doubt that it’s just I’m not sure I’d trust Phil Parkinson to get them up.

At the rate they’re both spending, I imagine they’ve got to be getting promoted in the next 3/4 years given they don’t really have many saleable assets that will make them major profits.
They really are lower than a snakes belly. Fucking rotten club.They come into force next season, basically doing it whilst they can
No, they have buying power.Wrexham will have no financial issues whatsoever. They'll be able to spend until they get promoted.
I don't think sell on fees are part of their objective really. If they think they can get promoted they presumably will be pulling in some extra recent from the USA which means that transfer sell ons are less important than they might be for us.Considering the outlay, the recruitment is very weird for a club of their size.

Villa did it after chelsea as well ie sold their women's team to themselvesYeh rules were put in place after Chelsea did this right? Blues attempting to cheat shocker.
I'm only looking at the top 5 because Derby, Wrexham and Preston are 14 points behind us with 14 games to go. We won't be in the top two if any of them catch us up.Not sure why some think top 5 are cemented.
Would anyone truly be shocked if hull for example fell out of the playoff zone never mind the top 5?

Yeah - think you'd want Hull, Millwall and either Derby/PNE (don't laugh) or Bristol City.Best chance would be Hull staying in there till the end I think.
They are worth up to £500m. Much closer to £50m though.No, they have buying power.
Apparently the club is valued at up to £500mil...
Southampton are only three points off 6th and have really picked up!Not sure why some think top 5 are cemented.

They were under different rules then. The £39m loss over 3 years is for FFP in the Championship which is known as profit and sustainability (P&S)Wrexham are well under at the moment but with PSR they could fall foul of the rules.
They have made a loss of £10.7m over the last 3 published accounting periods from 2021-2024. That is well below the £39m loss they're allowed to incur.
The 25/26 accounts will be the interesting ones though. I can't see how revenue will have increased that much for them and they are spending multi millions on single transfers now and making a lot of them.
