Definitely think the three coming down are weaker than average.
On those coming up, Wrexham is the wildcard if they get promoted. With their financial backing, they could easily pull an Ipswich and get themselves promoted or close to it in their 1st season
According to this forum the league has been getting weaker every year so technically we will be competing in the conference north next seasonJudging by the the 3 teams likely to go up this season vs the 3 coming down, (as well as the 3 potentially coming up from league one) Do we think the league will be somewhat weaker than this season,? And with a full pre season and his own signings, will Lampard have as good of a chance as ever to get us promoted?
Surely Birmingham is the wildcard. Tbh I still don't fully understand the rules and whether their owner will be able to chuck cash about in this division but they found a nice way around it by getting relegated.Definitely think the three coming down are weaker than average.

yeah prob, and seeing the southampton are loaning out armstrong doesnt show too much commitment, look at luton doing so poorly since the dropDefinitely think the three coming down are weaker than average.

As long as you get promoted first time of asking, from what I can tell, yes.Is that a genuine cheat code? Can you spend what you like in L1 and just keep those players?
It becomes much harder for Wrexham has they have to deal with an actuall FFP rule if they get promoted.Definitely think the three coming down are weaker than average.

Yeah, FFP would like a word with them next yearAnd Birmingham with their wealth.

It is indeed. Is there someone who looks after you?It's the start of February.
I don't think there's the money to get Lampard the quality he needs to build a serious promotion challenge next year. Sadly our windfall was largely wasted under the previous management.Judging by the the 3 teams likely to go up this season vs the 3 coming down, (as well as the 3 potentially coming up from league one) Do we think the league will be somewhat weaker than this season,?

What signings would you consider a waste?I don't think there's the money to get Lampard the quality he needs to build a serious promotion challenge next year. Sadly our windfall was largely wasted under the previous management.
Hopefully he can have a clear out of MVE, Sheaf, BTA, Collins, JDS, Binks and bring in a couple with quality amongst replacements.
No chance. That Birmingham team isn't any better than a Stoke, Hull, Luton etcBirmingham will come up and do alright
Think they’d give most teams a game as they stand at the moment tbh
Collins, JDS, Binks, Lati, BTA seem obvious.What signings would you consider a waste?
Collins, JDS, Binks, BTA seem obvious.
Only needed one of Thomas or Kitching. Needed another experienced CB.
More controversially I don't think Torp or Simms are good enough to take us forward. I would give Simms some more time.
You can spend what you like buying a player but L1 does have FFP on salaries. I think its 60% of the turnover. Loads of ways around the I guess with signing on fees and guaranteed salary increase if promoted etc.Is that a genuine cheat code? Can you spend what you like in L1 and just keep those players?
Think this is the weaker year with Luton messing up, Norwich/West Brom (recent play off teams) in transition, and promoted teams being mid table at best.
Top 4 look good other than that it’s very so so

There is a salary cost management protocol and only a certain amount of income can be spent on salaries in League 1 & 2.Think L1 can spend what they like as long as the money is gifted to the club and not converted in to a loan but I might be wrong.

Won't make a difference, if they are found guilty they will appeal it and appeal it until they have taken it as far as they can. Probably rumble on for another 18 -24 months. All of this season and next.Might have Man Cty in there, they are one of the favourites to be relegated. Something to do with the up coming investigation.
