if he moves to Birmingham he lacks ambition They’re the only ones who can/will pay what Fulham want though so it’s probably a choice between them or not playing at Fulham

Ludicrous rules. I hope all of the Championship lobby the EFL first thing in the morning.

I just don't see how those middle aged buffoons in suits can watch what's happened this summer with Birmingham and think it's fit for purpose.

It sounds crazy but if they get promotion due to his goals then 10 mil is well worth it. He will score for fun at that level. Fulham are taking the piss a little bit though. It would be funny if they keep teasing Birmingham and then rejecting at the last minute. They should get promoted without him. It would be funny if they didn't get promoted because rather than investing more on the squad they spent the money on 1 player

Have they got their man? Incredible signing if so, and I’m jealous I must admit.

Why on earth would he want to go from a premier league club to a league 1 club.

Why on earth would he want to go from a premier league club to a league 1 club. Because he will play as opposed to not playing Refreshing to see, most players would rather stay in the pl even if they don't play

Need some fun hopefully watching it go tits up Would be a wonderful sight wouldn’t it, they’re already so smug as it is. Thinking they’re gonna run away with the league. They might do just that, but I’m sure it’ll come back to bite them at some point.

But when we were staring the drop in the face last April, we were consoling ourselves in the fact we could spend a shed load once relegated (albeit, inevitably, spend it badly). That's quite easy to understand and explain. It's called double standards and it's always acceptable on an internet messageboard. The bluenose w*****s.

I predicted that earlier in the thread. Fulham have played a blinder here. There's probably a buy back in there too for a similar amount.

Big pressure on Brum with this signing. Hope he has a season of niggles😉 I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Look at Matt O’Reillly. £25m plus from Celtic to Brighton and a Crawley clogger wrecks his ankle. Stansfield will be a target. I said niggles not a career threatening injury

I'm not popular on here so I won't stay long but I will say, utterly ludicrous for a League One club. It actually makes a mockery and tbis is coming from someone who is broadly pro elements of FFP.
No Club in or Relegated to League One have ever done tbis before. Ipswich were heading that way but their backdrop was of austerity which can feed in, they had a Pre Tax Loss of £18mish in Promotion Season..
The funny thing is the Rules have been updated again this Summer,the EFL Handbook shows the updates to Championship P&S/FFP. Clubs entering the division from either end have to submit varied types of info to the League by 30th June, ie the 30th June as the new Season approaches. Interesting to see how Birmingham square that circle.
Birmingham lost Pre Tax-£25m and -£25m in 2021-22 and 2022-23, so no evidence of Austerity feeding in?
