Think Stoke would fare better with a decent Sporting Director. Not sure what qualifies Jon Walters for that role but his track record on player recruitment and the appointment of Nadal as manager/head coach is highly questionable. Sadly, Sporting Directors of the ilk of Dougie Freedman are as rare as rocking horse shit.

Do we know if Miller or Brittain will be announced arriving/leaving today?

Pape Gueye off to Kasimpasa in Tukiye for £864,000

We cant compete for talent in this toss pot of a league!😂

Bravo, Mercer

1. Winners of the Championship Ipswich- sorry to be unoriginal 2. Automatic promotion (runners-up) in the Championship Birmingham to do an Ipswich 3. Four Play off semi-finalists in the Championship Coventry Middlesbrough Southampton Rovers (assuming a Leicester points deduction) 4. Three relegated sides from the Championship Oxford Hull Sheffield Wednesday 5. Where will Rovers finish in the Championship? 6th (has to happen eventually) 6. First Championship club to change manager (after the season starts) Watford 7. Winners of the Premier League Liverpool 8. A notable wild card prediction of something that will happen in the Rovers universe during the season (e.g. Donald Trump visits Ewood Park) I finally get to a game at Ewood again

I agree, would not be at all surprised if they end up making a change. He's done a great job to get them up to the Championship but I'd be very surprised / impressed if he took them any further.

Utterly astonishing amounts of money for a player of his Level.

We've also seen Luton and Ipswich bounce through the Championship. If you can spend on quality to add to momentum surely you can do something although too many new faces could maybe disrupt that. Sadly like us Hull and Stoke are the ultimate going nowhere anytime soon clubs due to the idiots who run them, in some ways the Bet365 mob are the British version of early Venky's although you'd 'bet' on them getting it right sooner or later but they'll end up in the crap with FFP as well probably.

Well errmm,when your Club has naff all else to talk about.....

Interestingly, that was also VI's opinion of both them and Birmingham this season (when asked how he thinks they'll fare, at that kit launch thing the other week). And I agree with him; how many times have we seen the likes of Stoke or Hull spend a relative fortune, only to struggle at the wrong end of the table, as the side just hasn't clicked / the signings turned out to be dogshit?

'Wrexhams global profile'....give us a fookin break!!🤣

Wrexham is closer to his family apparently 😉

Actually i was about to say how good it would be if Eustace bailed on Derby for Wrexham mid season 😉

Interesting how this has morphed from the transfer thread to the Dolan thread to the "exiting " thread to now...the Wrexham thread. At least it isn`t the Derby(or Eustace)thread. That really is a bridge too far!!

The topic title changed. It was one of the greatest ever on this board. I had absolutely no clue what it referenced. Now it's as plain as day. Smiles are few and far between on here can it be changed back to Harold Varner 111? It will brighten my day up.

Think the main issue Wrexham will have to face in the Championship is their manager - his record in the Championship isn't great. Parkinson I think is a lower league (1 & 2) 'specialist' but like a number of other managers we've seen, struggles at a higher level. Would be no surprise to me to see Wrexham change their manager before Christmas - they are spending a lot of dough and expectation levels will be very high.

I hope the other members are remembered too when it's their time.

Pretty pathetic batting collapse. Our bowlers have to be on form.

Less than 24 hours to kick off and total silence about how to watch it.

Snoop Doggy Dogg- Who am I? (What's my name)

It's not about spending what you wish it's just being able to invest up front in the first year of a new cycle but no one seems to be a hundred percent sure how it all works so it's no wonder clubs fall foul of it. I'm not up to speed on any of it but i did read somewhere it's different rules in league 1 so presumed they might get a reset on promotion to the Championship although that wouldn't make much sense either. They are going to have to go some in the next few years to cover the fees and wages they are chucking around but with an average gate probably less than us.
