The very definition of buying the league, every fair minded football fan will be praying the fall flat on the arse.

And the people who are slightly more mature than yourself will see what they are doing within the rules. If Birmingham’s owners want to back the club that’s up to them.

They signed a stadium sponsorship deal last season which will pay them 9 million this season.

They sold Jordan James for 5 mill and a couple of undisclosed fees too.

They have also sold 17k season tickets a 43% increase on last season

All in all that’s a fairly good chunk of money coming in to offset their transfer spending.

They are nowhere near breaching FFP from what I've read.....they also got sell on money for Bellingham.

FFP rules differ by division. PL rules are different to Champ which are different to L1 & L2 which are different to conference.

It seems in L1 there's just a salary cap, which won't apply to them in the same way as a just relegated champ side. And spending is unlimited as long as theowner is dumping cash in. At least that seems to be the case.

I presumed they were planning for a return to the Championship, and spreading the cost over 7 years.

Wtf has happened to Bolton? Best team we played last season.

Wtf has happened to Bolton? Best team we played last season.

Given our record there, fully expect a defeat, probably heavy at the weekend.

Ha, didn't even realise we were playing them on Saturday. That should get them out of their funk.

Wtf has happened to Bolton? Best team we played last season.

Don't know. They don't seem to have lost too many of their regulars from last season and made signings.

Their forum seems to suggest they got found out towards the end of last season. I had a look at they've won eight of their last twenty-four league games (9 of 27 including the play-offs); only six (or eight, with play-offs) defeats in that time though - a lot of draws.

They only lost three league games at home last season, plus the play-off game, and are at two already this season.

One of those all fur coat and no knickers teams.

When it's going well they're all hints of sexy cleavage going forwards, but if you lift the hem and expose their defence, they're wide open.
