Championship 21/22

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Good luck to Blackpool,never felt any animosity towards them.

[arbitro]

Congratulations to the Blackpool fans who hounded the odious Oystons out of their club. That was a huge moment in their history and I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if they finished above us next season.

….I feel really pleased for them. I remember the day when we marched together, in pouring rain , to share our mutual dislike of our owners….…

…..they are rid of their shackles, we are still bound. They are rid of their management…we remain on the journey to nowhere . I actually envy Blackpool and Bolton…. They are clubs reborn …we are either dying or dead…..

oh for a manager with the guile and hunger of Critchley

Wagner to West Brom.  Solid manager at championship level.  Meanwhile Tony is doing the pie run to Leavers.

[chaddyrovers]

No surprise that Wilder isn't getting the WBA job. Given that they have Sporting director there and that's one of the reasons he left Sheffield United. 

Surprise they gone for Wagner. Not someone I rated that highly.

Looks like Appleton has rejected the WBA job to stay at Lincoln to finish the job there. Source is Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett.

He's probably thinking he's got the Lincoln job for a few years if he wants to stay there and if he goes to WBA and doesnt get them back up quickly he'd be back out of a job in 18 months time.

depends on what the WBA budget would be and who has final say on transfers with a sporting director Luke Dowling there. Plus who is advising the owner and his team

I would never wish a direct opponent good luck.

Yes surprised by this news considering that he has been running the head coach search and it appears that his suggestions have been ignored by the owner. So its looks like they part ways based on that from what I read yesterday, Don't know who is advising the owner or the CEO. Could be agent I guess 

[chaddyrovers]

Surprise by this but looks like Parker is going for Bournemouth from Fulham

 

 

[JHRover]

If Parker was from Blackburn, played for Bolton and Wigan and wore a tracksuit on matchdays he would have a very different reputation in the game.

Not long since he was being linked by the media to the Spurs job. London based, ex Chelsea, Spurs and West Ham and wears fancy clothes so he's sorted. Not sure what the fuss is about, he should have got Fulham up with that squad.

West Brom close to appointing the Barnsley manager after meeting the compensation clause in his contract.

Derby told to re-submit the last 3 years accounts. Could be relegated and Wycombe re-instated.

We will be lucky to only have a transfer embargo.

Interesting but I fail to see how this happens in the timescale available. We've got 6 weeks until kick off day. During that time Derby now have to submit amended accounts, the League need time to scrutinise them, then if they feel Derby are guilty of wrongdoing they will have to charge them and then go through the disciplinary process to determine a sanction, and then if that is a points deduction for last season (relegation) then of course Derby will launch an appeal. 

Dealing with all that will take more than 6 weeks. 

I expect the League to wobble and try to impose a points deduction on next season instead. I just hope Wycombe have lawyers at the ready.

Re the EFL/Derby article, what does the following mean in layman's terms:-

More specifically, the panel determined that the Club’s policy was not in accordance with accounting standard FRS102 because it failed to accurately reflect the manner in which the Club takes the benefit of player registrations over the lifetime of a player’s contract.

I suspect the alarm bells will be ringing loud and clear by September.

[Wheelton Blue]

Under the present management and considering form over the last 20 or so games, 2 points max looking at that list I reckon.

Eek.

Form from a previous season has no bearing whatsoever, I would be targetting 9 points from those first five fixtures.

Horrid opening month. Difficult November. Horrid February with a little bit of comfort in April as we will already be relegated by then🤬
