I believe that is the well known Transfer Journalist Fabrizio Stinko

Yeah let's not be duped by Fabrizio Stinko accounts! Lots of 'funny' people with too much time on their hands on that cesspit

A GK Mads (Bree) THB (Edwards) Stephens (Quashie, Wood) Manning (Taylor, Weligton) Charles (Downes) Jander (Sesay) Azaz Fellows (Wee man, AA) Scienza (Jay Rob) Archer (Stewart, Downs, AA) Fire BBD into the Sun. Based on the most credible links, that's a much better squad than last weekend on paper.

Brownhill would want to be top paid player leaving Burnley on a free. If prem clubs are turning their nose up at his demands, we should be too. He will end up at West ham, Everton post deadline as a panic free

Azaz Fellows Spertsyan / Guilavogui Mat Ryan Wishful thinking - Sargent Ryan Roerslov THB Stephens Manning Charles Fernandes Fellows Spertsyan Azaz Sargent

Matched Wrexhams formations to try to leverage the talent differential as much as possible. Loads of bench options to change the game Love that will wants to play a 4, but isn't so rigid he doesn't pick the best formations for the players and game that are available. After signings, Fraser wont be near this 11 and I imagine a cb drops out for the CAM

The fact you clearly dont know KDH was at chelsea last year kinda implies you have no idea how good he was in the prem, unlike Dibling who by all accounts tore apart United and Brighton on his day, as well as a great assist against Liverpool in the cup...

Bazunu £10m Sugawara 12m - THB 20m - quashie 3m - Welington 1m Downes 18m - Charles 10m Armstrong 15m - fernandes 13m - BBD 7m Archer 15m That's roughly 125m worth of player in the first team, plus 8m Stewart, 7m edozie etc. Bit of a reality check when thinking about 50m spent on a league 1 team put together for probably less than 40m total (20 of that on 10 goals in open play stansfield). You obviously have to spend money well, as we haven't on some, but that goes the same for everyone else. If we sell dibling and fernandes for 60m+ total we will see players come in for about 20-25m which will see us in and around 2nd-4th.

Hermansen and el khanouss will leave leicester, vardy retired. Hutchinson, delap will leave Ipswich. Cajuste may return after loan expired Fernandes dibling ramsdale will leave saints. In my opinion that's the three of the better players from each gone. I am sure Leicester and Ipswich at a distance would say they would love Armstrongs 20 plus goals and assists, we know hes not amazing but from the outside maybe he would look it. Lot of the window left, but dibling and fernandes money should in theory fund two new wingers (rak saki and a European unknown) a CAM (i would vote for a championship 'star' like rudoni and throw our weight around the best of the rest) and some minor improvements at the edges (new GK/RB/CM)

McCarthy Bree - Stephens (Edwards/THB) - Quarshie - Manning Charles - Downes Armstrong - Smallbone - Robinson Archer With Stewart, Downs, BBD as options off the bench is stronger than 20 of the teams in the league already (so not Ipswich, Leicester, Birmingham, Sheffield Utd) If we use the dibling and fernandes money for a new CAM (Solak said we would), cheap experienced keeper, (im hopeful of Mat Ryan), winger(s) (links to rak sakhi (rangers got Mikey moore) and the alaves guy) I am sure we will be challenging for the autos again. If the same scouts who spotted fernandes can replicate that once, or all their picks are at least decent (downs ,quashie) then I think we will have a very good year New GK Bree - Edwards- Quashie - Manning Charles - Downes New winger - New CAM - New Winger Downs Bench - Armstrong, Robinson, Archer, Stewart, Smallbone

https://fbref.com/en/players/4535e4bb/Mathew-Ryan Small sample size from his half season at Lens, but he looks pretty good at stopping crosses to me

Mat Ryan was Stills GK at Lens after Xmas and is on a free. Would make sense as hes still only 33

Wrexham need 11 new players to compete at this level, opening day is absolutely the best time to play them. They are not Birmingham, who won the league at a canter, they are coming up at the level of Plymouth, Rotherham, Pompey, Derby, Oxford. Solid squad of upper L1 players that can dig in and get a solid amount of points, but we should be seeing this as a way to ease our way into the season and get points on the board.

The leicester forum person named the player as Josh Windass from Wednesday on a free. Kinda shows how up the creek they are financially

Seems like a level headed guy, excited for where this goes! https://learning.coachesvoice.com/cv/will-still-interview-reims-west-ham/

Robinson is with the first team squad for Arsenal

Thursday’s Premier League 2 play-off final missed out on being broadcast live on Sky Sports for the first time due to a dispute between Manchester City and Southampton over the game’s location. The disagreement followed City breaching Premier League 2 rules by not having the Etihad Stadium available to host the fixture.

I mean you can be doubtful but it will be next season as set out in the Athletic " If the 2023-24 case had proceeded as the authors of the Premier League rulebook had intended, this matter would have been resolved during the current season and any points deduction would have already been applied to Leicester’s total. But because the club refused to submit their 2023-24 accounts to the Premier League by December 31 last year, and then proceeded to fight these two jurisdiction battles, there is no chance of the Premier League being able to prosecute the club this season. So the matter will undoubtedly spill over into next season, when the Premier League, egged on by its EFL counterparts, is very likely to ask a new tribunal to apply a significant points deduction that would be applied in the Championship. We know Leicester were £19.4million over the allowed threshold for the three-year cycle ending with the 2022-23 season, when the limit was £105m. Their maximum figure for the three-year cycle up to the end of 2023-24, the season they won the Championship title to bounce straight back into the top flight, will only be £83m, as the limit for a season in the EFL is only £13m, not £35m. And because both the EFL and Premier League have prosecuted numerous PSR cases now, we also have a good sense of how many points a tribunal is likely to deduct for a significant breach, particularly if it is considered to be “aggravated” as opposed to “mitigated”. Given Leicester’s long fight to avoid being sanctioned by either body and their most recent failure to submit accounts to the Premier League, they are almost certainly going to be charged with an aggravated breach. This would suggest a starting position of them getting docked 12 points, though with a good chance that the Premier League will ask for even more. It is perhaps ironic that if Leicester had accepted their fate for 2023-24 sooner, and taken whatever punishment the Premier League sees fit, the points deduction would have already been applied and they would get to start next season in the second division with a clean slate. There is one further thing for the club to ponder, too, as the EFL has still not completely given up on the idea that it could pick up the 2022-23 PSR investigation it was unable to complete when Leicester won promotion last year. And if that is not depressing enough, the EFL will be all over the club’s accounts for next season, so the prospect of transfer embargoes and agreed budgets is very real.

They didn't have the most money this year? Maybe fluking a playoff campaign can be done, but there double relegation owes as much to the first miraculous promotion. Reversion to the mean. Birmingham spent £15m on a ST in league one and lo and behold they smashed the league. Wrexham have commercial revenue that is on par with top 4 championship. Zoom out enough and eventually money talks. There will always be outliers, we had a good few years giving the big spenders a bloody nose ourselves, but unless you can get a cash injection (City, Newcastle, Villa) the average ceiling over 10 years will be top 10 prem. Look at us, Leicester (champions league and a title win), Leeds, Burnley, Sheffield Utd. PSR compliance is an issue, as all the teams in the prem gave had a guaranteed 3 years at 105m losses whilst we have the championship year that guts the squad and caps our spend. It's not impossible, but will take a bit of luck, good investment and a set of tactics to maximise what we have. RUSSBALL could work for a mid table team, but our lack of quality showed up. Reduce the game to smaller margins, outwork the opposition and run further than them. Whether that's high press, low block or whatever.

Top three in the Championship had the most money, that's why they did well. The only easily identifiable metric to estimate success is paying the most wages - the rest is circumstance.

Likely to be off the back of the Talkshite 'rumour' (Crooks). Can't imagine we will hear any update until we are a championship club officially in a few weeks. Players won't be back until July in any case

'Leicester have also faced issues off the field. The threat of breaching PSR has hung over the club like a dark cloud. The Premier League is still in arbitration over their legal dispute. The EFL is also expected to closely examine Leicester after taking action for the club exceeding the upper loss threshold in their PSR calculations relating to the 2023-24 promotion season. Leicester were placed under a transfer embargo because of concerns over their projected accounts for that season, and the EFL is considering its next move."

Not looking good for Leicester and PSR / EFL finance rules https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/04/20/leicester-city-relegated-doomed-season-inside-story/

I mean Rohl is being touted for the Leicester amd Leipzig job by his agent, and is the obvious championship manager currently operating above their level in the table. Also it's Rohl

Who then?
