Leicester face a points deduction, Ipswich will be next season’s more palatable Luton and then I would say West Brom as they can’t spend huge amounts.

Norwich are shite at the top level and never invest

The shite bit I don’t disagree but the last couple of times the have been in the division I am sure they spent decent amounts, they just bought shit.

Sums it up pretty well, but just depends which way Ipswich go, if they choose to spend they will be hamstrung by current PSR rules as we were, & if they choose the little investment route they will be plucky little Ipswich. IE as you said Bash a nicer version of Luton

Last time they sold their best player to Villa before the season started

I will be fascinated to see what the P&S allowance for a season in League 1 is. It's not going to be much and that is going to put Ipswich at a massive unfair disadvantage

I think it’s £3-5m tops?

Would be more competitive if Onslow or Rab C were in the prem chap.

With successive promotions I’d imagine the PSR situation for Ipswich would be worse than ours. Not sure what losses are allowed in Div 1 but you’d think it was less than the championship so that’ll hamper any investment even further poor buggers

I think they’ll have between £51-55m in allowable losses

Now, if the IC do not overturn our promotion bonus allowance that then fucks Ipswich more also.

Birmingham now winning.

That means all the bottom teams are winning other than Blackburn.

But unless Blackburn lose, Birmingham will win and go down anyway as it stands.

Remember, Blackburn away at Leicester so a goal there very possible. The Blackburn fans are going to be seriously sweating on another goal difference relegation here

It's about time they went down. Especially this season when they sacked a decent manager to replace him with a gargoyle.

Yes that did them no favours at all. I still think they will spend more than West Brom though - they have some financial issues still so won’t be big spenders at all.

I can’t decide which of the two I would prefer to go down. Plymouth are also only a goal away from dropping.

And Blackburn have scored…

 

[Pope John XXIII]

That's insane, all the relegation battlers are winning. Harsh on Birmingham, but as others have said; they've been escaping for years.

If Blackburn win at Leicester they deserve to stay up

 

[Ingy]

I would be more than happy to have Szmodics in our squad.Good calm finish when clean through.

 

[finbar70]

Can see Hull scoring

Odds are that if they sell Szmodics then they will go down next season.

I see VAR and ref are continuing their Cartel bias in the Arsenal game.

Not sure if I'm correct but can't they spend next year to try and stay up and worry about any points deduction in their second season?

They could do that yes
