The Championship Thread - 2025/26

73 days to go.

 

Less likely the Skates go down though.

 

I think they'll do alright this season as long as they keep their manager. Though it wouldn't surprise me if he got poached mid season.

 

More likely to get playoffs under Mourinho than relegation battle. However, I am not convinced Portsmouth will manage to keep hold of him.

 

Hull City now given a transfer embargo due to late payment of £1m to a Premier League club

 

If they don't keep hold of him, they could go for Mousinho. He could do quite a good job for them

 

Just seen on Saints web that there's no trains on the weekend of the skate game either.

Suggest that reduces the chance of no bubble from 5% to 0%

 

Mistake by the club here?

 

Although saying that the beeb are showing that time too. Surely not?

 

Ahhh, both have corrected it now.

 

Both were correct... in Hong Kong

 

10 weeks to go

 

Leicester fans having a bit of a meltdown today as been heavily linked to Wilder

 

A bit early to say we are definately relegated, isn’t it?

 

Deontay? ……surly packs a punch.

 

Maybe Leicester having problems dealing with Sheffield Wednesday too?

 

By all accounts Leicester's first choice is Rohl and by a distance. However, the situation with him and Sheffield Wednesday means the situation is really dragging on. Getting Still in as early as we did is far more preferable to getting dragged into this saga. I'm saying this even though Rohl was my number 1 choice for the Saints job.

 

I agree with this. Whether it will have an impact next season, only time will tell, but they kick off the season 5 weeks today, have no manager in place with a pre season plan, back room staff etc.
So it’s far from ideal, and definitely gives the rest an advantage at this stage, as the longer this drags on, it gives less time for the new manager to implement his style and ideas.
