Mini league 2020/2021

Hope its Norwich

Not a fan then?

I think Bournemouth will struggle, key players and manager both gone, but who knows.

I agree with most of those sides in the mini league, although perhaps Birmingham and Blackburn might do a bit better than that.

Dykes reportedly 2 million , Dickie reportedly £1.8 million and Amos between £500k and £1 million , as well as bringing In Thomas and Carroll but you keep banging on about no investment.

Yes there has been investment , but as Warburton said fees are often paid in instalments (at least they are when paid to us) so I guess we must have done the same with the fees for Dykes and Dickie.

Over the last few seasons there has been a relegated team in the mix as well, Bournemouth??

Before I start I will say from the offset that I dont think we will be relegated this season and predict a 17th spot finish but do expect us to be involved in the relegation mire ,hovering around the mid bottom half of the table for most of the season.
I'm confident we wont be relegated because there at at least 5 teams weaker than us this season,in fact this is the weakest championship line up I can remember in many years ,especially with Sheff wed starting on -12 points.
anyway I didnt do any mini league at the start of last season as I was quietly optimistic we would not be involved in a mini league ,this season I'm pretty sure we will be .
this is my mini league of 10 teams in alfabethic order
Barnsley
Birmingham
Blackburn
Coventry
Luton
QPR
Reading
rotherham
Wycombe
Sheff wed

Not sure Birmingham will be down there tbh, or Blackburn for that matter.
Coventry have a good manager and on the back of their success under him, will do well.
We need reinforcements of a certain standard, think the board will be lynched if they don't get some real quality in by the end of the window

Fair enough, I don’t have an agenda. I just have a different opinion. That’s all. I’d like us to get a few loans in and a couple of crafty cheap deals .and be nowhere near trouble . I just hope the board know what there doing. As I stand by us being in serious trouble if they get it wrong. The squads threadbare. Luckily we have a good manager in Warburton so I hope we can keep him for a while and let him carry on his good work with us

I’m sure them loans will come as well as one or two more signings , believe me I’ll be as disappointed as everyone else if we don’t get them in .

[QPR Rickson]

No just trying to bring a bit of reality to all the doom and gloom merchants . Those fees were widely reported by numerous sources but it doesn’t suit the agenda of some posters that the club are investing in the squad and still looking to do more . We all know are a few short but how about wait until the window closes before we all judge .

Had a peak at first few rounds of fixtures. Blimey, Wednesday have some toughies...... poor blighters will probably still be on -12 points after 4 or 5 games. Their chins will be on the floor and they'll be jumping up and down on trapdoor and it won't even be Halloween. None of the promoted teams came up with any sort of conviction or charge, they all lost boatloads of games so they won't have the momentum you normally associate with newly promoted teams. I get the feeling we could stay up with 38pts this season.

Wednesday even starting on a even knell would be in my mini league ,but with a -12 point deduction they will have a hell of a fight to stay up this season.
Rotherham will be the team everyone will be aiming to beat twice ,they were woeful last time they came up .
normally I'd say 52 points would be needed to survive,i think with Wed starting on -12,and the likes of Rotherham and Wycombe, Barnsley and Luton i would expect around 45 points could be enough this season .
its the weakest championship on paper in many years ,maybe decades

I'm sure those fees mentioned are being paid on the drip same we we're being paid the Eze money in chunks over the length of the contract.

I don’t doubt that sheep .

reportedly.. I’m glad u said that. As every 1 of those you have said are wrong. Warburton already said we’ve Spent no where near what has been reported. And we won’t be doing so either. But what does he know he’s just our manager. We’re go on what you’ve said instead. As for the banging on comment that made me laugh. I’ve rarely posted on here last few years. Yet Uve been on here 2 minutes and every post is happy clapping nonsense. Have a look at yourself
