Mansfield have kept all their squad and recruited well. I think they’ll do what Orient did last season. It's quite an old squad though isn't it? Some really solid players, but that makeup comes with risks

It was a squad that got them promoted and we all know what momentum that can give you in your first season.

Well...Birmingham needing a late penalty to rescue a point is quite funny. They'll still go up obviously but hopefully they're all grumbling tonight.
Scum losing is always funny. All the promoted sides winning is a bit annoying though.

Can I just say that Shrewsbury and Leyton Orient haven't made the greatest of starts. (Is this the right thread?)

Birmingham paying 9 million for Jay Stanfield is crazy for a league one side

That'd take them to having spent what £20m+?
Madness.

They've got the money to do it with their owners as well.
I was wondering if they'd have an FFP issue, but I don't think they will, just off the back of some fag-packet maths.
The SCMP limits players wages to 60% for most clubs, but 75% for them as a newly relegated club.
Estimated turnover is £25m. That's up quite a bit from their most recent accounts (just under £20m in 22/23), but they were getting crowds of 16k that season, they'll probably average 26k this season (28k so far). There's the associated other income that comes with higher crowds, like merchandise. They will get less of a share of tv money due to relegation, but the new Sky deal also kicks, so the pot is much bigger, and then there's parachute payments to consider.
So if £25m is a reasonable guestimate, that gives them an FFP wage cap of £18.75m, which is £360k a week. With a squad of 30, that's what, £12k a week on average. Probably £20k a week for your two or three star players, dropping to £3k a week for your third choice keeper or academy grads.
Seems doable, unfortunately.

Massive league one giants Stevenage with their years of history spend £200k to sign their second striker of the day. Maybe it’s about ambition of the owners at this level perhaps?

Okay, but Ken Aboh is so rubbish he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page to tell us how awful he is, with one professional appearance in his entire career. Jake Young has been deemed surplus to requirements at a club in League 2, where he's had a grand goal of one good season avoiding relegation. Our doom-mongers would be just as unhappy with these.

Why don't you sell your house and donate the money? Is that really called for? Debate my argument by all means but don't get personal. It's a ridiculous point right. Nobody would ever do that. I find it equally ridiculous to question the ambition of our current owners.
