That's the same league as Shrewsbury, Accrington, Fleetwood etc. This will effect who we can buy and who we have to sell. Some people seem to be forgetting this. BCWYWF. | |

Said freebies would be former Premier League and solid championship players rather than third division and below-average Championship players though. | |

....but our manager has been hopeless for large parts of the last 12 months. Hopefully we will get promoted despite him. Selling a centre back shouldn't change this. | |

We shouldn't be walking this league because we're a big club relative to this level. I'm not sure that's the argument people have made either. We should be walking this league because it's full of toss and the quality in our squad is superior to our rivals. The past few days I've seen you talk about how with the quality we have we should have too much for this league. You flip flop like a beached dolphin, it's almost like you're just trolling genuine fans. | |

The significant difference is the potential income from a transfer. To date, there have been only 9 transfers of £4m-plus out of league one (according to Transfermarkt.co.uk) - none of them for a defender. The highest fee for a defender was the £3.5m paid for Matt Clarke. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/league-one/transferrekorde/wettbewerb/GB3 In contrast, there have been 98 transfer fees of £8m-plus out of the Championship. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/transferrekorde/wettbewerb/GB2 Fact is, you make more money selling out of the Championship. | |

One minute you question whether the squad is that good, the next you're saying it's got too much quality for this division. That's flip flopping, flipper. Yes, genuine fans. As in actual, real life Town fans who go to games and don't just troll ITFC fan forums. | |

All based on Transfermarkt.co.uk - which is *fairly* reliable, on the whole. | |

Yes the Tranmere tickets do look like somebody had some old sheets of blank paper to use up. | | | |

No-one *wants* him to fail, because that would mean we we'll be division three(that he got us relegated to) for longer than we all hoped. [Post edited 14 Jan 2020 12:22]
