To be fair, if they finish second with this budget it should be considered a failure. Their current spending would put them third in the championship, only just behind Leeds in second
Birmingham fans view on Derby dropping to L1 in comparison to them... It seems Birmingham actually finished 15th and didn't get relegated. I hope they fail but sadly can't see it. What a bunch of plebs.
"Did they keep all their best players? Did they spend £15 million and counting for further improvements to the squad?
Experts and our fans come to the conclusion that last years team should have finished 15th on paper.
We had a third of the season with non managers last year."
Wigan have signed Winger Silko Thomas on loan from Leicester. The 20 year old was at Chelsea before joining Leicester last season. Has played 4 times in the EFL Trophy, but no league experience.
They have also signed Dion Rankine (Chelsea), Andy Lonergan (Everton) and Tyrece Francois (Fulham) from the Premier League which was the discussion yesterday. But those 3 are permanent signings.

Brilliant! The delusion is something else
They may well do well this season but I’m struggling to understand their love for the owners who’s stupidity got them relegated in the first place.
Shrewsbury have signed Striker Joshua Kayode on loan from Rotherham. He made 4 league appearances last season for them. His last league goal came back in 2021/22, when he scored once in 20 league appearances.

After the last 2 days undisclosed transfers are now just 5 behind the free transfers. Over half the league now has 7+ transfers and 25% have 10+.
Then there's Reading.
Also think everyone at Mansfield might still be on holiday. On the 17th June update, there had been 40 transfers, and Mansfield had 4 signings. Over a month and 137 transfers later and Mansfield have 4 signings.
At the current rate we should hit 200 before the start of the season.

I’d love to know how undisclosed fees compare to previous seasons, seems a lot more this season and I’m guessing that’s the sky money floating about.

It definitely feels that way, I can't remember if it was last season or the season before but at some point I'm sure there was a stat saying only 6 or 7 teams had actually paid a transfer fee for a player. At the moment this season there are only 3 teams that haven't - Mansfield, Reading and Rotherham.

Burton make it 19 signings this summer with the signing of Defender Terence Vancooten from Stevenage.

Michael Olakigbe (Brentford), Calvin Ramsay (Liverpool), Joe Hugill (Man Utd) and Silko Thomas (Leicester).

He made 14 appearances on loan for RWD Molenbeek as they finished bottom of the Belgian top flight last season.
