How on earth can a league one club spend 10m on one player? Fucking ridiculous isn't it? Surely if they go up this season will count in the last 3yrs of FFP? If it does they will be fucked right? |

Jay Stanfield has signed for Birmingham.
The fee quoted is 12 mil upfront plus up to 8 mil in add ons.
How the hell is that allowed in league one.

Can see Birmingham pissing the league and spending again hard for 2 years in the championship going for gold. Very risky strategy but they are in for a fun season, if it goes tits up which is very likely they are absolutely fucked

I see that Blackpool, having ditched the Critch, have decided that Steve Bruce is the answer. Not sure to what question though.

AFC Wimbledon's pitch has 'collapsed' under the weight of rain!! Don't know how true but saw on twitter it was saying it was a sink hole and could take months. Thought it was a newly built ground so would be odd if a sinkhole was under it. |

That's true Al.
Never seen that before. I saw the Geordies donated £15k to their fund to fix it so fair play to them for that.

Loved Ollie's time with us before Paladini put him on gardening leave.
But his second spell with us marred my opinion of him.
But I still like the guy and wish him all the best at Swindon and in his ghost-busting efforts.
