Rest of the Championship thread 11:07 - Aug 10 with 338718 views | Hunterhoop | 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. |  | | |  |

Rest of the Championship thread on 12:05 - Jun 3 by daveB | he's been coaching for several years, wil probably do alright, a real shame he had to retire from playing so young |
I know and wish him all the best. It was a terrible injury. But coaching or being in coaching set up is very different to being the Manager of a big Chamionship football team. That’s all I’m saying. |  | |  |

Rest of the Championship thread on 12:56 - May 25 by lassel | As said as nauseum, they have not been making big losses because they’re printing money in sponsorships. United were paying them £10m a year in L2 for shirt sponsorship which will have had uplifts since. They’ll be spending a fortune this summer once again. |
Don't any sponsorships go through an assessment of fair market value? I don't think they can use this in any FFP calculation? |  | |  |

United Airlines is not linked to the ownership of the club, so this is a deal with a 3rd party. What United pays is presumably related to what they believe is the publicity they receive. |  | |  |

where he can live in a seven bedroom detached house more cheaply than a two bed flat. Plus he will get that massive signing on bonus and increase in wages. But, its Jack Robinson who is the money grabber? |  | |  |

Maybe they only have to demonstrate that more than one company wanted to sponsor them? I guess that is what market value means isn't it, when something is worth what someone is willing to pay? Stoke and Bet365 have always been dodgy imho, can't imagine loads of people queuing up to sponsor them? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

FMV is only applied to related parties, so their deals with Netflix, United et al are fine from that perspective. |  | |  |

Quite. Protestantism in particular, a German export that one. And much more recent to these Isles than Catholicism. |  | |  |

You are correct, paganism is the religion of these lands. You know the Good Life, which is the old woke :P |  |

But I wonder what his relationship was like with our Ronnie. Edwards could quickly become a hero up there and would p*ss that league . Unless of course the English premier league is calling |  | |  |

He's going to be fcking insufferable up there. Telling you how brilliant his "process" is every week because they've done Kilmarnock 2-0 at home. |  | |  |

I think the fans of that club will eat him alive. Needs to do well in the CL qualifiers with no money and a crap team. I doubt he’ll last a season and could be gone my Christmas. Think they’ll hate his ‘style’ on and off the pitch. |  | |  |

94% possession with 2 shots on target against Dundee at home. Celtic will presumably win the league, but Rangers have a massive chance of creating possession history. "Boys, no-on's ever achieved 99% possession before but we have the chance to make history. If we win the toss, I want that ball played straight back to the CBs. We all know that Dundee will play with a low block. Perfect - that's what we want because it means we can knock the ball about on the edge of our box until the ref blows for half-time. Second half, we need to press like bastards straight from the kick-off, win the ball back, play it back to our keeper, and we're all set for another 45 minutes of stroking it around at the back. Now, say after me, 'Possession is my obsession! Caution over adventure! It is better to slowly probe for an hour, than to attack wirh pace and power!" |  |

TBF if I went out with Lucy Pinder I'd probably play around at the back a lot as well. |  | |  |
Rest of the Championship thread on 10:58 - Jun 5 with 1352 views | 100percent | Obviously no longer a championship side and also bereft of a manager since Muslic abdicated behind the berlin wall to Schalke, but Plymouth seem to be getting all their signings in pretty damn quick. They've also brought in a couple of additions behind the scenes after Muslic was very vocal about the set up. Have to say that I don't remember their latest acquisition from Hertha being at QPR ..... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c87jw9q8e84o |  | |  |
