Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

It's never easy but it could be that this season will turn out to be one of the easier years to get out of this division (no Birmingham nor Wrexham this time).
A shame that we will almost certainly have to wait till next season when it will surely be more difficult based on the clubs that will be relegated.

Feel Sheffield Wednesday won't be an automatic promotion challenger next season, unless their new owners decide to chuck a load of money into the club. They'll require at least a year of building before they'll be up there imo.

Think sides like Blackburn and Portsmouth would be similar to Huddersfield. Not sure about Norwich and Leicester, but feel they'd be more similar to Cardiff. All just depends on the financial capabilities of these clubs upon relegation, as the financial gap between the Championship and League One has widened a lot with this TV deal, and how much they need to rebuild their teams after relegation.

Cardiff didn’t have a player exodus at relegation so a lot would depend on whether these clubs would need to spend too much to fill the gaps they need to fill.

Saw the top ten highest paid players in League 1 yesterday and not surprisingly Cardiff dominated the chart, ridiculous amounts being paid out still

Leaves them above the relegation zone on goal difference. They should be strong enough to stay up, but certainly keeps/puts them in the relegation picture. They appear to have turned into a complete mess of a club in the past few years.

About time they were caught up with. That shenanigans in the mid 00s, then more naughties and weaseling out of PL punishment.

Thoughts with Gary at this difficult time.

Looking good for Reading next season with league games against Sheff Wed, Norwich, Ox, Portsmouth Blackburn and now Leicester looking possible, all without even needing promotion too!

They seem to get in financial difficulties and get penalised at least once every decade, the dirty cheats.
