Technically no there isn't. Problem is there are 20+ other highly ambitious teams, many with massive resources, desperately trying to get into PL.
True! Yet others seem to think we're going to be spending £20-£30m if we go up because we won't settle for consolidation!
Spending 20-30mill is a bit of an anomaly in FL1. Birmingham seem to want to make a statement of their wealth from what I can see.
I'm talking about when we're in the Championship. I still don't see us spending anywhere near that amount next summer if we go up.
Ok. I think if we’re in the championship, it’s a different level entirely to what we’re at now in terms of player fees and wages. We will of course have greatly increased income for just being in the championship but it will be very interesting to see exactly what the owners are prepared to spend and what they anticipate needing to spend to be competitive or even just survive.
We also have to factor in different profit and sustainability rules.
No way is he. I wouldn't have paid a penny over £5m for Stansfield. He's decent, but £15m ? Really ?
Its a FFP cheat, L1 & L2 financial rules apply over two seasons, so if they're here for one season they can sign whoever they want and aren't subject to rules over it, then if/when they sell him, the entire transfer fee counts as profit towards FFP
By logic on here yes he absolutely is worth that. Was easily best player last season in Birmingham side who were crap, scoring goals in Championship.
