Toyed with this idea last season. Shall we have a thread to discuss, comment on, cover the rest of the league? A place to discuss other teams’ results, performances, financial implosions, etc?
For example, last night, anyone catch either of the first two games? I didn’t. But somewhat surprised/worried Blackburn scored 4 given how they are meant to struggle. Was it Derby being utter sh*te?
Sounds like Preston are continuing in the same vein of being incredibly dull.
Clive, what do you think? Worth making a sticky? Might reduce the number of threads to manage. |  | | |  |

I just think with Farke, he won the division in pretty fine style with Norwich twice, then both times they went into the Prem and it was a disaster.
I don't think it's as crazy as it sounds to replace him at this point.
Lots of people said Bournemouth were mad getting rid of Gary O'Neil when they did... |
There's a massive gulf between the top of the Championship and the Premier League now, so any team going up is going to struggle. Look at the three promoted sides this year, all relegated a long time before the end of the season, none of them even managed to put up a fight.
I just don't really understand the logic behind the idea that a manager is great in one division, but then suddenly becomes useless with the same players in a different division.
A good example is Kompany, he was a good championship manager, but then apparently wasn't any good in the Premier League. But now suddenly he's about to win the Bundesliga with Bayern, so it really was all about having good enough players to compete at the top level. |  | | |

Is it fair to say that none of Ipswich Leicester and Southampton blew big bucks on players this season?
So maybe they're adapting the yo yo approach, cash the money and hopefully come up with squads that can survive the Prem for a few seasons. |  |

Ipswich's £150m incomings in the summer may slightly disagree
The gulf is very much real | | | |

Ah OK. Wow.
Seems like a lot of money for mainly average players! But I suppose that is the PL these days... | |
