What result would you like and why?
El Deludio.
Can't say I'm that bothered. Just hope the City keep going.
Id think I'd prefer wolves won. They've spent enough money to be better than everyone in this league and keeping everyone below us further away would be better.
Second would be a huge surprise for us and there no deal difference between 1st and 2nd in this league.
It'll depend on where the two teams are at the time of the games but generally I'd prefer a draw in these situations so they both drop 2 points. If we can win at the same time then we've gained 2 points on both teams.
had to think what i post but i hope wolveselona beat the wurzels 6 nil because
1 . work with loads of wolves fans and the banter is great at the minute
2 . brizzle city the only team i don't like
3 . think it would suit us the way the league is panning out
Wolves - let them run away with it, beat the teams around us
i was going to go into a proper football debate on this .
However, I would prefer to have a rectal examination whilst simultaneously having root canal treatment before granting Bristol City even a draw.
So a Wolves win , by several please, regardless of how it impacts on our position in any potential promotion/ playoff chase.

Is FFP based on average spending over a period longer than one season?
Wolves win. For all the reasons given, and it keeps Jurkshitt away from the place ;)
Draw so they both drop points.
I don’t know why people are saying let Wolves run away with it, it’s not like they are 10 points on front of us.
All that matters really is that 2nd place.
So anything that makes the target for 2nd place lower will help.
A draw or defeat for Bristol in that case.
Even then there will be other teams below them picking up points, so we will still need to get something in the mid-80s. 11 more wins and a handful of draws to get that and that's what I'm focusing on.
Wouldn't it be great to get 3 of those by the end of the year ?!

If we can keep going like we are now I don't think that result will have special significance. Whilst we're picking up points like we are currently I'm not too concerned about other results. Obviously it's nice to see The Wurzels lose though.
Wolves aren't spending money - they are loaning players from Jorge Mendez's stable of managed players. It's very clever and suits both sides. Wolves get quality players without having to spend vast sums of money, and Mendez's clients get to put themselves in the shop window rather than sit and rot in the reserves of a better team somewhere else.Quote:

For us it means that even keeping close to them in the table is a brilliant achievement - beating them at their place seems all the sweeter when you consider the advantages they have available to them under this setup.
That’s interesting. I didn’t know that they were loaning in players - I thought they’d spent a shitload on Neves and Cavaleiro - but are you saying that’s not the case and they’re on some other sort of financial deal?Quote:

I see both points of view too. And I am well aware how many automatic spots there are available.Quote:

As I understand it they have bought one or two players for decent sums, but the rest are on loans - for which I guess they are picking up their wages. This will still amount to a fair investment I'd think, but I don't see it as being much different to Uncle Vincent getting Zohore for us via Kortrijk or wherever he came from.Quote:

It'll be interesting to see how the authorities react to this means of getting around FFP, though to be honest if Man City and others have managed to get where they are through their owners investment then there have to be loopholes that are being exploited. I don't begrudge Wolves this moment - I just hope it works properly for their longer term supporters.
I'm not bothered about the over-excitable ones who are giving it large on their boards at the moment - their support will probably evaporate as quickly as our glory-hunters did when times got a little bit rough
Perhaps you didn’t read the bit about 20 game winning streaks?Quote:

Neves is the costliest player in the championship and they also bought Costa for £13,000,000.
FFP has apparently changed since Chelsea and man city got a head start.
Don't think wolves loaning a few players will break and rules.
These players get to be out in the shop window and wolves get a few players too good for our league.
Would rather wolves win and give us a little breathing room although the Wurzels have a nice month ahead, derby are the ones that concern me
Rowett is starting to do the business there. Good result for them yesterday.Quote:

Sheffield United are done I think.
Wolves to win and I hope that Flint is the inevitable sending off of a Wolves opponent.

Sounds about right, but the difference is that, like us, their owner owned a number of clubs between which he'd exchange players. In Wolves case their main man is an agent who can bring players from wherever he has a client player.Quote:

So basically Uncle Vincent needs to find a really good agent to pair with to go with the Clubs he owns. The game has changed again it seems...
