I don’t know why but the Birmingham fans are in love with their owner, despite the big decision cocking up their entire season and getting them relegated.Many thinking his supposed passion will mean they’ll go straight back up at the first attempt. They might be in for a rude awakening…

Yeah they need to be educated on a different, mostly well meaning but ultimately inept and out of depth US based businessman0

It’s not their passion that makes them think they’ll go up, it’s the fact they’re very very wealthy.Callumcafc said:I don’t know why but the Birmingham fans are in love with their owner, despite the big decision cocking up their entire season and getting them relegated.Many thinking his supposed passion will mean they’ll go straight back up at the first attempt.

So what?
We’ve got at least ten, maybe fifteen, plus Charlie Methven here to do the bidding of our own twenty billionaires.2 -
My only hope from seeing Wrexham and Ipswich get consecutive promotions, is that the real money behind GFP get inspired by it, and can see that with proper investment and backing of NJ and solid management behind the scenes, anything is possible.
Just heard on the radio that when McKenna took over at Ipswich they were 12th in league one in December 21.

Honestly think next season could be one of the most difficult League 1's to get out of. Plenty of clubs with big financial backing that will go for it + whoever loses in the playoffs. Just makes this season so much more annoying.5 -
I've said before that Ipswich should be our template for success but this is one stat that we would find hard to replicate.
Since Keran McKenna took over Ipswich two and a half years ago they are unbeaten in all 38 League games between Monday and Friday (virtually a full season of matches) whereas they've lost 14 of their 78 games played at the weekend. I wonder what that feeling is like of knowing that you're going to a midweek night game (which to me has a different atmosphere anyway) and that you aren't going to lose.

Sure the Birmingham owner is not short of a bob or two and look at the almighty cock up they've made.J BLOCK said:

If they keep Rowett or Mowbray as manager and listen to them they will be a force next year.iaitch said:

Looking at the strength of L1 next season emphasises how much this season was a lost opportunity.
However much we improve through NJ and good players coming in (hopefully) next season is going to be tough to finish in the top 6.4 -
This raises the question why multi billionaires buy clubs like Wycombe and none show an interest in us, the so called bigger club. This guy according to the BBC is worth£4.5 Billion. So if if spends .3% of his wealth each year on Wycombe that is £15 million a year.0

Thats always baffled me. Surely a London club with a Premier League quality stadium would be a no brainer to a billionaire, but no lets go with Wigan instead.msomerton said:This raises the question why multi billionaires buy clubs like Wycombe and none show an interest in us, the so called bigger club.

But we have several incredibly wealthy individuals behind us. Simon Lenagan will be backed by his father Ian, a billionaire. Brener isn't a billionaire but had enough money to bankroll an MLS team, Friedman is rumoured to be worth about $5 Billion (more than the Kazakh) Javeri runs a capital management account that's worth half a billion pounds, and the guys behind ACA Football Partners used to work in finance before football so I bet they've got a bit of money behind them too.
As ever it's not about how much money you have it's about how you use it6 -
That is assuming all those assumptions true, one think I have noticed over the years, is that billionaires willing to spend the money in football do not share the ownership. They want to run things there own way not by committee.sam3110 said:But we have several incredibly wealthy individuals behind us. Simon Lenagan will be backed by his father Ian, a billionaire.

Agreed. Wycombe is a nice club in a nice part of the country, but is a small club with a small ground with poor access. And one which won't be easy to expand, as I believe the capacity is restricted to 10000 by the poor access unless a new access road can be built. And any new ground elsewhere will be expensive and a planning problem, with the Chilterns restricting development.msomerton said:This raises the question why multi billionaires buy clubs like Wycombe and none show an interest in us, the so called bigger club.

A big reason would be the ownership mess we found ourselves in from Roland onwards. Smart billionaires probably looked and thought best not to touch that, whereas clubs like Wycombe were probably an easier takeover.msomerton said:This raises the question why multi billionaires buy clubs like Wycombe and none show an interest in us, the so called bigger club.

This will be a big factor , unpicking our very messy ownership situation over the years will have been problematic to some potential bidders. Would imagine Wycombe was a fairly straightforward deal with the Couhig family maintaining a small percentage too.0 -

"Phil Parkinson insists Wrexham "won't pay over the odds" for new players ahead of first season back in League one as he vows to stick to Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's transfer 'system' and has claimed that the club will not spend beyond their limits."
Sounds like Wrexham are already facing an issue with clubs adding a 'Wrexham tax' onto the asking price for their players.4 -
No surprise, considering the way they have thrown money at player wages for the last couple of seasons. I am sure Parkinson is just saying that publicly to put a spin on it and hope other clubs don't add the 'Wrexham tax'. Will be interesting to see what they do in transfer market this summer.Chris_from_Sidcup said:"Phil Parkinson insists Wrexham "won't pay over the odds" for new players ahead of first season back in League one as he vows to stick to Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney's transfer 'system' and has claimed that the club will not spend beyond their limits."

I'd expect them to get a couple of " big name" free agents who are on their way down. Rest of their business I wouldn't expect to be that different from the rest of the league bar their ability to pay higher wages will help.0

Wrexham's wages may have blown away the opposition in the NL and L2, but won't stand out so much in L1 I imagine.2

They'll be competitive for sure though. Their wage bill in league 2 was said to be higher than all but 5 league one clubs.killerandflash said:Wrexham's wages may have blown away the opposition in the NL and L2, but won't stand out so much in L1 I imagine.0 -
