Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
So, Brum, Forest or Blackburn?

Far enough I suppose if 2 independent sources, and a cross check from an equally disbelieving third source doesn't make it believable I guess nothing will.
Shall we just say 15 players over 3 windows and move on with our day.
I think Blackburn will go down. It's beyond me how Forest have got in to this situation (yes, yes, 70 signings but they've beaten most of the top sides). I want Brum to go down for the simple reason that Arry in League One = GUFFAWS.
Of the three I'd like to see Birmingham go for all the stupid shenanigans the owners deserve it, even if the fans don't.
The saddest part is that Probably relegation may condemn any of them to very significant financial hardship as their owners won't see the benefit in forking out in league one.
Think Birmingham and Blackburn's parachute payments run out this year too which puts them in greater financial peril.

Blimey that's a lot, no wonder it's not working out for them.Shall we just say 15 players over 3 windows and move on with our day.

We're sending down a team because of its owner.
1997 send down BHA because of its owners?
May the best teams stay up.

He wouldn't be there would he, he's not under contract.

Redknapp is only in the manager role until the end of the season. Allegedly with a deal that will see him only get paid if he keeps them up. He's also being tipped to be their new director of football if they stay in the Championship, but given his past financial misdemeanours, you'd have to question the sanity of anyone who thought that would be a good appointment.

Agree re GG and Bennett at Blackburn, plus of course they sold Shane Duffy to us last summer. I was impressed with the football they played at the Amex this season too, and were possibly a little unlucky to lose.
It makes me smile too, when you see the likes of Forest, and several other so called big clubs floundering in the lower divisions. Makes a mockery of people who say that certain clubs have a right to play in the Premier League. The only way you are able to do that, is to earn the right. Just as we have done this season.
Oh come on it's hardly the same is it. Birmingham fans haven't been screwed over, they haven't lost their ground. It was their manager that was screwed over, and this is funny karma. And yes, the fans suffer too, but that's true of whichever team goes down.

Er, I think you mean Bolton (P). Whoop, whoop, EIEIEIO, whoop, whoop.
Brum do deserve to go down for their stupidity in sacking Rowett but Blackburn joining Wiggin for the chop would be wonderful......especially whilst the mighty Wanderers are on the up again.
Whoop, whoop.
Forest - big headed, the scenes as they beat little old Seagulls from the soft south ... you would have thought they'd won their third European Cup.
Feel sorry for Blackburn fans with their hopeless owners and have always liked B'ham's spirit when next to an arrogant club/fans at Villa.

Didn't their parachute payments stop years back?
He was very shabbily treated by Derby and he turned down Forest earlier this season didn't he? I think he may very cautious in where he goes next. Unlikely to be a club run by meddling directors.
For above reasons really can't see Clough ever leaving Burton
Burton just proves what sense, spirit and stability can get you - versus wasting money on over paid squads that have none of these qualities

Burton and Clough have been amazing. Championship manager of the season you could argue.
Huddersfield fans on their forum despise them after the late winner there, praying for their relegation. Which made me like Burton all the more.
Who's?
Pretty certain this year was Blackburn's last but could well be wrong.
Also not sure what the tapering agreement was on the old tv deal.
Maybe I'm totally confused but though on the 15/16 financial analysis @El President did it had some kind of footnote to this effect

Not that fussed but I think it will be Blackburn.
May be the best thing for them. They can go into admin, write off that huge debt and start over again. They may well suffer another relegation after the points deduction but will be able to build from scratch and maybe, just maybe, be bought by someone half sensible.
