General Championship stuff including non-Midlands teams

[Aber gas]

The fuck has a charity game got to do with them?

Stopping a player appearing in a charity game no matter what he's done is low imo.

Absolute state of them. They'll surely change their mind on this.

Can't really blame them can you..

That club has been in free fall since 2010. Every season they have consistently get worse. Can see them down in league 2 before long.

Sunderland reminding me of us the season we went down, we started to sort the shite before our first season down here though, they're not. Wouldn't be surprised at a double relegation from them.

 

[Madejski]

They hired a manager more suited to this division than yourselves though. I know Di Matteo has got promoted out of this league, but I consider Grayson to be a safer pair of hands, a bit like Allardyce/Pulis in the Prem.

I think they may stay down here for longer than Villa though, as they don't have the finances to match. A longer rebuilding period.

Eh, we splashed out last season, we're going to make a profit this. We built most of our promotion squad last season and added a couple this.

Sunderland won't go down under Grayson but I also don't think they'll get promoted under him.

I expect him to stabilise them and then probably get binned off within in a season or two.

Feel I should add that I'm not an arrogant fuck... I meant we built most of our squad for an assault at promotion last season. Reading that back sounds like I think we'll walk it.

Apparently Ian Cathro is joining our backroom staff. Don't think he did much up in Scotland mind.

 

[Super_horns]

Worked with your manager in a previous role I think?

 

[markwwfc1992]

Yeah, worked with Nuno at Rio Ave and Valencia. From reports he has always been a decent assistant, never good as the manager though.

Building work on our new fancy-pants training facility to start forthwith, after the planning application has just been fully approved.

Have some of that, you snobby tory c***.

Consortium led by Chinese billionaire Chien Lee apparently in advanced talks to take over Barnsley. The same group who have an 80% stake in Nice.

Patrick Cryne is in ill health at the moment and there has been rumours flying around Oakwell for a while now.

Can't say I'm enthusiastic at the prospect.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

Lee Tomlin has been charged with GBH, Warnock is never going to have a side that isn't labelled as dirty is he?

But... You're not in the West Mids, we're the only ones allowed Chinese owners.

Speaking of which, Walsall need to get their arses in gear and get themselves a Chinese billionaire.

We did well to get £2.9m with that hanging over him

You didn't even get £2 million for him mate. But having said that with the charge on his head any money was good really.

Was reported at £2.9m or undisclosed when it happened.
Transfermarkt tend to be pretty accurate and have it as £2.9m

Likely it wasn't that much upfront but could rise to that fee.

Possible, Warnock said yesterday we've spent just over £3 million so far, Ward was circa £1million, Patterson £400k. Then there's the fee we paid for Bogle as well.

Media our end were saying we got most of (if not all) the money we paid for him back, so either you paid the £2.9m or we paid less than the fee reported at the time.

Suppose it depends who you want to believe, I'll go with Warnock and our chairman on this one.

To be fair if he was speaking about any other club I may believe him, but when it come to us I don't believe a single word that Warnock says.

 

[Jockney]

He'll plea it down and get a supervision order.

Reading v Barnsley on 12 September postponed because of a waterlogged pitch for Grimsby v Derby earlier in the season...

Westwood best keeper in the championship

 

[Nuttall]

In his defence its not very often he makes a mistake at all, although that was a big one last night

Our game vs Cardiff has now been moved for the third time.

It's now back onto the Saturday and is a midday kickoff, as the police won't provide the officers, despite an agreement being in place.

Utter shambles. Neither club could have done anymore to try and make the night game work. Think the SWP need to take a trip over and teach Avon & Somerset how to do their jobs...
