Ironic/frustrating that Blackburn’s and Coventrys best performances of the season was against us. Assuming we go into the playoffs I am hoping the team is mentally strong. Talent wise we are more than capable. Notice Leicester are having a joke at our expense (fair enough) will be delighted if they are relegated next season.

Yep, we've nobody to fear if we play well.

Its embarrassing that their whole promotion celebration is about us, absolutely rattled.

Maybe Southampton could turn it around in the playoffs as they have some experienced players in that squad.
The way we have played our last 7 games doesn`t fill me with a lot of confidence.
However the way we played before the break we should walk the play offs.
Depends where our mindset is I suppose and if Farke get us up for it.

Agree with all that, have posted several times that the break absolutely changed everything. Since then as a team we look disjointed, if Farke gets them in shape we shouldn’t have any problems.

seeing as leicester effectively cheated to go up not sure why they are celebrating at anyones expense

How can they possibly have cheated - the rules in the Championship are different from the PL and the situation is judged over a three year period. Leicester have only been in the Championship one year!!

The discrepencies - such as they were - happened in the PL and they were relegated so deducting more points would have made no difference to their situation.

If Leeds don't up this year there will have be some significant departures to comply as the parachute payments fall dramatically.

A bit like Gnonto at Middlesbourgh - seems you forgot that piece of luck?

Thought they did something wrong this year as well? Purposely didnt send in their accounts or something, as if they did that they would have had to sell off their players.

As I said before the sustainability is judged over a three year period and the rules in the Championship are different to the PL.

indeed. they broke the spending this year but put there accounts in 2 months late. on purpose. its different rules in the EFL to premier league.

Mine was said tongue in cheek.
We have already had 6 or is it 7 letters of apology from the Governing body who control the referees saying they got it wrong and goals should have been disallowed and some players from the opposition should have been sent off.
Oh you forgot the Bamford arm of god goal we got

I`m sure they cheated this year as already mentioned delaying sending in their accounts late which in turn would delay their punishment.
What I don`t understand is why there isn`t any transparency when teams do breach the rules.
For instance late submission of accounts docked 2 points
30-50 million overspend 4 points
51- 60 million 5 points
Increasing by a point for each 10 million overspend and doubled if you exceed 100 million.
All points deducted in the season where the overspend takes place.
So accounts submitted January 31st points deducted 1st Feb.
No appeals allowed.
Or is that too simplistic?

Going for my hattrick of replies to Zoo Zoo here.
Not only will we have to sell players we also have to pay out near on 70 million in transfer fees by the end of June regardless if we go up or not.
The only good thing if we do go up apart from the additional income is we can sell the likes of Harrison as staying in the Championship allows players like him to continue to go out on loan therefore not bringing in any income.

of course players would go.
summerville, gnonto, gray, creswell, meslier and rutter would bring in around £130m.
more than enough to rebuild.
I would expect rodon, Roberts and chair from qpr to sign. plus others of course.plus farke gets a proper pre season.
