Stansfield is a ridiculous signing at that level.
Not really .

Of course he is, he was £15m, that's 5 times more than any other club at that level has ever spent. He's also cost about half of their entire turnover from the last set of published accounts, he's a ridiculous signing for that alone. Aside from the finance side he'd proven himself as a decent goalscorer in the Championship and was looking like being on the fringe of a premier league squad. It's be like someone down there signing Archer from us.

When three points against Wrexham is your season highlight, you know you're Blues.

It wouldn't be the most unlikely thing in world history.

You think they will win the league next season?

Hopefully it bites their FFP fat arse . Does FFP exist at their level ? He's decent player at that level which is why I question "ridiculous " . Without him they lose that game tonight . They are donkeys .

I think they have to go up otherwise they are fucked. But they will go up with ease.

However i dont think they have much budget next season as they blown it all this year. I didnt see many championship clubs spending 15m on players and blose did. Unless they sell players dont see how they can spend big next season

As we know the championship is brutal , a hard league to escape . They will be there for years and years if they stay up .

Anyone notice when they get the slightest sniff of anything remotely resembling decent they become utter media whores.  I don’t know of any other owners who are like theirs when they take cool aid.  Except for wrexhams possibly.

Probably not, but it's not massively outlandish.

Keinan Davis came on and set up the winner to send Udinese to the top of Serie A, ten points from their first four games.

Seems like he's having a nice time there.

Why are the beeb giving so much credence and coverage to the tramps, and why the fuck is being called the "Hollywood derby?"  Blose have got a former American Footballer who lives on the East coast in their corner, fuck all to do with Hollywood.

It was the only match on and it wasn't just "da beeb" being as Sky decided a third division match needed to be on live.

It wasnt very hollywood. Reynolds wasnt there, there was only brady,beckham and neville and the other wrexham owner.

Not exactly a massive 'star studded event'  like they try to paint it to be.

I remember everton had sly stallone years ago. We have had hanks a few times as well.

The reality of the situation while those losers think they are something in the baby levels of league one, we are preparing for CL. They would sell their jail mates to be where we are.

A part of it was probably with the European games and LC they were limited in games involving 2 sides that weren't playing this midweek.
