Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Promotion odds. It’s a good bet if anyone thinks there won’t be a points deduction. Birmingham being so short is disgusting.

 

You seem surprised

 

I had to call my brother to ask, his name was Mike, or Michael most likely his full name, surname was Proctor.
I googled him and he still works at Sunderland as a coach!

 

He’s our first team coach, now. They reckon he’s a big part of the success which is happening at the club. The players are always speaking highly of him.

 

Think Birmingham will be right up there. They’ve probably enough to finish top half with what they’ve got now and are ready to spend big again apparently.

 

I’m putting a couple of your lads up at my house when you come to the SOL, next season. Going to take them on the piss around Durham. They’re going to return the favour when we play down there.

Love the bond between our clubs now

 

Not sure how you can be so certain about Fatawu and Mavdidi staying. And I think it'll be harder to shift some of those others than you think.

 

The £70m for Hermandsen and El Khanouss will soften the blow though. Expect clubs will be queuing for the double swoop.

 

Both on long contracts and in Fatawu's case ... also this...

A club media interview? And what happens if a PL club comes in during the final week of the window?

Long contract doesn't necessarily mean they won't go. Just that you can command a bigger fee.

 

Agreed - but we don't need to sell either of them for PSR reasons - 4 of the top 5 wage earners will be going / gone ...

Suspect the 'health' of our squad next season will 'disappoint' many non-Leucester City fans ... can't wait.

 

I'm not saying your squad will be poor or anything just that it's basically impossible at this stage to tell so I'm not sure how you have so much certainty.

Thing is with relegation it can look all Summer like you might hold on to someone only for a club to come calling in the final week having missed out on other targets.

Shifting high earners isn't necessarily easy either. Winks for example must be on a fair bit and you'll need to find somebody willing to pay him the same to move him on.

 

Winks may well have his contract cancelled - he was left completely out of the picture after refusing the manager's not unreasonable request to stay overnight just one night a week at the training ground rather than a long drive to and from training each and every day ...

 

Surely paying the rest of his contract off would take a chunk out of your budget though. Would be shocked if you did that.

 

If he's in breach of contract, we won't be paying him much at all ... only thing I know for sure was that he wasn't in any matchday squad during the last 2 months of the season ... also that it's a requirement to attend home games in person, even when you are not playing ... which he didn't...

Ironic that the only thing being discussed on the PL General Matchday thread is the Championship... and, in particular, Leicester City FC ...

I'm available for other PR work too

 

That Wrexham price is a joke. When the market opens I’ll lob them in an acca to finish bottom half.

 

I think Brum are only that price because of the money their lot have dropped on them.
