Williams isn’t up to men’s championship football at the moment, it’s not just fitness. I told everyone ages ago that he was currently considered part of the development side but nobody listened. The hope is for him to go out on loan in January to get minutes under his belt then reassess him at the end of the season, we have an option to extend his contract if he can get himself performing at a decent level.
Birmingham got a £115k fine. From what I recall it was largely Birminghams doing? Not sure what we got fined for.
And looking at their reasoning, we are going to get clobbered for a much higher amount for the Stoke game because it won't be our first offence in five years -- it'll be more like our second in five weeks (and no I haven't counted how many weeks it was since the Brum game).
It was Birminghams 6th offence in 1.5 seasons, second of this season. Their previous one vs Ipswich only got them a fine of £20k, which would have been the 5th in the space of less than 12 months (actually even less than 11 months).
According to the FA website some club called Hull City FC have been sanctioned for the Birmingham incident, thankfully for Hull City AFC.
