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. |  | | |  |

BBC reporting that Wrexham are about to offer out-of-contract Tom Cairney (34) £50k a week.
I mean blimey, we’re nowhere near competing with that. |
We've got little chance of competing with them, really. Nor do many others.
But if they persist in their hiring policy of ageing, bigger names - they will, with any luck, come unstuck in the higher divisions. Maybe. |  | | |

Wrexham are likely to be the league's boo boys next season and quite rightly so. |  | | |

How can ffp allow them to spend that sort of money on one player?They must’ve spent a fortune last season getting promoted,so they must be overspending their income. |  | | |

I think I read somewhere their income will be bigger than all Championship clubs other than relegated ones - sponsors, shirts, US.... | | | |

Per Companies House, their turnover in 2023/24 was basically the same as ours, with them playing in League Two. A loss of £2m compared to our £13m. Very likely that's gone up in the meantime.
The celebrity owners are throwing money at it, but as you say, it also helps with the kind of income generation from sponsorships and shirt sales that QPR could only dream of. Can't see United Airlines and Meta/Facebook queueing up to sponsor us. |  | | |

You wouldn't want to be a tea cup in the Sheffield United dressing room when Wilder trudges in! Sunderland are promoted. | |

Commentators going on and on about how brilliant Sheffield Utd were and how amazing that they lost…… I thought they were generally sh1t. |  | | |

That was some unbelievable finish for the winning goal too. Well done Sunderland, glad they beat Sheff Utd and a team without parachute paryments , succeeds. |  | | |

Means nothing to me really who goes up but there's something about Wilder that I don't like, so In my own silly world of blowing raspberries.
Take that. | |

Yet one day their Hollywood owners will walk away.
Just because you spend the most on wages, signing players and basically throwing your cash around doesn't guarantee success. What other clubs have tried that............... | |

Yeah I get those vibes too. When Sheff Urd scored today he celebrated like he'd won the world cup. Looks a right fanny now. | | | |
