Sounds like we have lost to the better team, we should be ok this season then, because we normally only lose to the teams below us

Unfortunately for us they are signing Brereton- Diaz for about £9,000,000

I saw that @superjorge but didn’t want to burst my own pipe dream. I still hope that Adebayo gets snapped up before the transfer window slams shut. It’s a long old season and we have to hold some resources back for a January squad reinforcement, to account for injuries / loss of form / fallings out / mystery illnesses, etc…

Has anyone got a programme from this game they would be willing to sell? For over face value of course!
See Blues will be promoted if they beat Posh tonight ran away with this league with 6 games to spare. We we’re better placed then them I think at any stage in the season .
sobering thought .
Big difference being they have a manager that knows how to keep things ticking along and what’s required to achieve promotion plus they had their own goalscorer that has delivered.They also managed to offload injured players that required rehabilitation, wonder where they went ?

Shitloads of money spent on players, record fees etc.
Just for accuracy.

Very true that got a lot of criticism for the money they paid for Jay Stansfield but he’s certainly been worth every penny the will get that back in spades back in the championship
Full houses massive season ticket sales why not huge potential there ,think they’ve gone for a little bit more then incremental improvement.
I’d have got Blues promoted season.

With £27M spent on players - anything other than the title would have been a joke..
With them and Wrexham, it really has been those 2 and the rest….
Brings into focus the need for a club salary cap in relative divisions - it breeds unfairness based purely on finances..
That said, with Wycombe going so well (no idea what they’ve spent though) there always seems to be a club who defies the odds in such an unbalanced situation..
I’m afraid that horse bolted a long long time ago in all sport and other forms of our daily life .
Wycombe have a very wealthy owner.
They do but he hasn’t invested anything like the capital involved at either Wrexham or Blues (which is the point I was making..)
I guess it’s all relative but it was clear that Blues owners would ensure they spent their way back to the Championship immediately and with crowds the size of theirs, they have the numbers to validate it.. I’d imagine their footballing related turnover far outstrips a club like Bournemouth for example…
Just seems that it was utterly predictable but I guess others have done the same in the past..

Yes you are correct. Money talks in football mostly these days. Vale, Doncaster and Bradford are probably in the top 5 or 6 spenders in league 2 this year.
Still have to manage it though which is where the Blues and Wrexham managers deserve credit.
MK and Gillingham have consistently wasted big budgets in league 2.
