Think I read somewhere (probably on here!) that the financial fair play rules in League One are far less stringent than in the Championship, so Birmingham can fling money around this season buying players much more easily than they can in the Championship, hence making sense to spend big money this season, and then have no problem complying with the rules next year.
Broadly that's my understanding too. I suspect it will have a knock on effect if they are in the Championship next season as transfers get amortised over the life of the contract and the wages will still be being paid. But cross that bridge when you come to it and get out of L1 ASAP I guess is the plan. You can have all the plans you like but there is nothing written in stone that they,ll all work out.

You can not like the way modern football has gone while still enjoying the team that chose you being successful. Having your cake and eating it though. It really isn't. I'm not against clubs spending money. I am against a cabal gaming the system for themselves at the expense of the rest of the game.

That doesn’t change. I don’t like the way football has gone, but I’m still a Stockport County fan. Your club is for life.

Your club is for life. As are the City fans, love their club, have always loved their club. Why I suspect you're "anti-money in Football" posts are an attempt to make you feel a little bit better about cheering on the current Stott bank-rolled team you "love" ??

What are you actually against though in terms of todays Football? vs what you accept to enjoy County being successful ?? It seems like you hate the thing that week after week you're celebrating? (honest answer please, not a cryptic intelligent one??)

(honest answer please, not a cryptic intelligent one??) I've not been cryptic at any point. I've been quite clear that my issue is with the Premier League, how it behaves and how English football organisations more generally behave in relation to it. It's you conflating the PL with 'football'. Why would I hate watching County on the basis of a single thing I've said?

Toodles.
