I wonder if Wagner realise they are not even close to being the biggest club in their own city?

Just seen that Blues documentary is out. Who the fuck is that shit for
I'm guessing they'll just stick Bradys face on it and hope some gormless Americans give it a click. Genuinely the most embarrassing club in England right now.

You haven’t seen Welcome to Wrexham then?

Full of both owners using the platform to through shit at those that ‘attack’ their club or the process.

Course he does. Thats why he’s manufacturing a rivalry with a club of a similar stature.

He actually is the main character there. The bloke is probably the most narcissistic smug bellend you'll ever see and those toothless goons absolutely lap it up.

Agreed. Vast majority of teams are just replacing what they've lost.

Same applies to Norwich, who have probably had one of the better windows. They've sold Sainz, Rowe and soon to be Sargent in this window.

Yes, as good as some of their incomings seem, not many teams prosper after removing 34 goals

He might be the main man there but he is a bellend, I swear he gave a 'talk' to the brum team when they lost to posh as they collected their runners up and the posh team had to wait untill he finished

that their model works in this league

They can pick up good old championship players when in league 1 but now you are looking 50k plus a week for past it PL players who still aren't going to get them promoted. Plus they have loads of players they are massively overpaying who have a while to go on their deals who won't move as no one else will pay them anywhere near the same.

Could give a fuck who owns them, I can just see the massive flaws in their model.
Click to expand...
If they stay up it has worked? It's a consolidation year

No one is saying it will get them promoted. I am saying I don't think they are specifically aiming for a first time promotion to premier league.

Model may change over time but I see zero issues with what they are doing for their first season in the championship

They're going to have one of these silly call out things aren't they? TBF to Wrexham they could state that they've reached the last eight of a european competition, something Birmingham will never do.

I don't even get why they are wanking over Brum? I've said before I get why the Wrexham thing is kind of unique. Blues is just some smug yank prick no one had heard of and Tom Brady who no one outside of North America gives 2 shits about.

They are basically in the situation we were in 2 seasons ago with a better base squad. Will be very interesting to see how they get on

Their revenue, whilst exceptionally high for a club or their size, will be swallowed by a likely massive wage bill.

In Moore, Coady and O'Brien you're potentially looking at around £70-80k in wages per week alone at a very rough guess.

Might be like the Bolton situation when we played them and drew. Was that the season we went up or fished 8th in League 1? Can't remember.
