Danizen Posted 9 February Share Posted 9 February 10 hours ago, Koke said: Thi ****ing nonsense again??? I can't wait to get out this league. How many times does it have to be explained to them that Leicester and Southampton sold players for nearly £100m. And Leeds have a netspend of £1.5m or something low like that. It's a backhanded compliment. Before this season, the established narrative was that the Championship is nails to get out of and that it chews up and spits out the bigger clubs that get relegated. This season, the relegated clubs have shot that to bits so there's going to be a lot of resentment. The people that make that podcast have to pander to that for the numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rn9013 Posted 9 February Share Posted 9 February (edited) It’ll be interesting to see how the narrative reverts back to normal next year. This year has been a bit of a freak season with 3 huge clubs, 2 of which were established premier league clubs, being relegated that probably shouldn’t have. Compare that to this season where it is likely at least 2 out of the 3 clubs to be relegated will be some of the worst sides to have been relegated from the premier league.

Quite a bit of over reaction after that game with loads wanting him to be our next manager because his team beat us in a 1 off game 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn were very “you attack, we attack” under JDT and Eustace is much more safety first. They’ll need to adjust quickly else they’re in trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 9 February Share Posted 9 February The other thing about parachute payments is at least 60% of this division has had them at one point or another recently and should know it doesn’t always equate to an advantage and going straight back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Fox Posted 10 February Share Posted 10 February One of those interesting ones today, Leeds haven’t lost at home all season, Rotherham haven’t won away all season… could it be… Probably not, but after Sheff Weds win, Rotherham do need to respond or get cut adrift. Huddersfield haven’t lost since we beat them in the first game of this year, I can’t see them continuing that run at St Mary’s. Ipswich will know if they can get a win, they’ve got the best run of fixtures coming up, could they return to form? Alternatively, fail to win tonight and we get 3 points, and it becomes 1 point per game they are behind us and it becomes unlikely they can catch us.

Daggers Posted 10 February Share Posted 10 February 19 hours ago, KingsX said: The purpose of parachute payments is to make it possible for demoted clubs to move from the League where the 18th place club (us) pulled in ₤133M last year, to one where an upper-midtable club makes ₤20M or ₤25M. This disparity is now so great, relegation is ruinous almost by definition. How does a business deal with overnight loss of ¾ of its revenue? Without the parachute, demoted clubs would have to unload every salable player, at fire-sale prices. Fire even more staff than they already do. Probably slash their women’s clubs and community programs. Some would still face bankruptcy. Promoted yo-yo clubs can trim their cloth, and keep spending near Champ levels. If they and their fans accept just a modest chance of competing … for 17th. But a club like ours, up for a decade, with some years in Europe and none near relegation (until the dwarf saboteur), will not be running a bare bones operation. How can such clubs plan? We were not sure we were down until the last kick at Goodison. We sold our most valuable stars and trimmed (vice slashed) staff. Without the parachute, cost control would have required a bloodbath. No Enzo, few familiar senior pros, and a lot more sudden unemployment in Leics. There is no easy answer, especially with the PL clubs still fighting over funding the rest of the pyramid. But killing parachute payments, increases competition in the Champ only by destroying relegated clubs’ ability to compete. Might sound good if you’re a Cov or Brizzle fan … but why are some of our fans on board? So you’re saying the decks would be cleared, people like Rudkin and Big Sooz would be out on their arses, and the club would shift hands to someone possibly far more competent than our little billionaire horse bothering playboy? Yes, that sounds terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
