Birmingham will falter. I saw Krystian Bielik yesterday saying something like "we're too good for League One and will go up" or something. It adds unnecessary pressure and ironically he also said about remaining humble.

Insulting and many clubs will feel provoked by this kind of thing. They'll get the odd draw, some injuries and then the losses will follow around January onwards.

They'll get promoted but on about 95 points.

It was Bielik, one of the players, not the CEO who said that

Thank you - I'll try to edit my original post

If any team should break it it is Brum this season. The amount they've spent in comparison to the rest of the league is ridiculous and a huge advantage. 'Should do' means nothing though. I'm still betting (hoping) that they don't break it.

Even if they do, it's nothing compared to what the 106 Reading team achieved. Not a team that spent a ton of money, or a relegated team with any parachute payments (like Leicester or Burnley in the last couple years), but a club that spent no more than a couple of million with nearly every player in the squad having never even played top flight football.
