and be challenging for title next season, How's that work then ? I had a idea last summer that all that scmp ****** didn't need implementing and that the club were bowing down to be loved, again only Barnsley FC take any notice of this half hearted financial fair play rubbish.
You should know by now we are the only relegated team that has to make a million changes and then have a season of bedding in before we can go for a genuine promotion shot.
Wigan have the parachute payments still don't they? Reckon they might do a Wolves. Millwall no chance.
Think Millwall will be about mid table. However with Wigan it depends who they hold on to. Think Billy Mckay and Grant Holt would be a good strike partnership if they hold on to them both
I think you're ignoring the fact that the team we got relegated with were bloody awful. With the exception of O'Grady and Steele, I wouldn't have wanted to see them in league 1 either, and I don't think we'd have fared any better than we have this year. Whether forced by a salary cap or not, we're doing it the right way. Not all of the signings have worked out, but they've been the right type of players in the right kind of budget area.
They can spend 75% of revenue on wages next season, given that Wigan will have parachute payments still then they have a massive wage budget in comparison to the rest of L1 (but they'll currently be paying some top wages still which will soon eat away at that budget).
Exactly. A crap Championship side does not automatically make a good League 1 side. Far from it in fact. How many teams have bounced back at the first attempt in recent years? Wolves, Donny, Leicester, Norwich I can name off the top of my head, but there are far more who spent quite a while down, including some of the bigger clubs. Leeds, Forest, Southampton, both the Sheffield clubs.
