    It does beg the question why Birmingham didn't spend a bit more last January to avoid relegation in the first place.
    Good article here that goes some way to explaining why:

    https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-financial-fair-play-9436665

    Essentially leagues 1 & 2 have different rules to the Championship, meaning an owner in league one can pump in millions without it affecting FFP.

    Makes a mockery of FFP as if you're a struggling Championship side with a new rich owner it's effectively better to take the fall into league one, build an entire new squad of championship quality and bounce back, than it is to hover around at the bottom of the championship and have to gradually build.

    Quite why the entire EFL doesn't have the same rules is anyones guess.

    As far as I see it Birmingham have adopted the FFS model

    So we should buy Bellingham and Kane in January then, as it won't count towards FFP when we then get consecutive promotions...

    If Birmingham don't go up, it will be very funny. Got nothing against them, but I'd just be curious to see how their owners react to the failure.

    I think it's unlikely they don't go up, but a man can hope 
    Their Transfer Business seems very much of the way of Ipswich in their first season at this level

    Just throw money at the problem

    Depends if Davies is going to be more of a Paul Cook or Kieran McKenna type Manager, but you do have to wonder how patient the owners will be if he starts going on a poor run.

    Not year one, year two was much smarter recruitment

    Ipswich massively improved when McKenna took over halfway through year 1. They beat us 4-0 at the end of that season, and already looked like promotion contenders,

    Burton apparently close to season-loan for Chelsea striker Ronnie Stutter. Scored 11 goals in 14 games for Chelsea u21 last season.

    Gob smacked to see Birmingham biding ten million pounds for a Fulham player, I note Fulham turned it down.
    Birmingham owners must have some serious wealth.

    Oxford United striker Gatlin O’Donkor has joined Bristol Rovers on loan for the season.
    O'Donkor is Rovers’ 15th summer signing, and fifth on loan this transfer window.

    Seems like a very good pick up for Barnsley, and a bit of a blow for Mansfield.

    they’ll need a replacement quick, hasn’t Clough managed Fraser before?

    Fraser to Mansfield could be a shout. He has indeed at Burton. 

    I think Burton have a bit of a different transfer approach this season, but of all the league1 sides, that would probably be the best fit.

    League One side Leyton Orient have made goalkeeper Josh Keeley their eighth summer signing on a season-long loan from Tottenham.
    Republic of Ireland youth international Keeley, 21, has also signed a new contract with the Premier League club until 2027.

    Promoted Crawley have signed striker Will Swan from fellow League One side Mansfield Town for an undisclosed fee.
    The 23-year-old former Nottingham Forest junior has been with home-town club Mansfield for the past two seasons.

    Stevenage have signed Norwich City forward Ken Aboh on loan for the rest of the season.

    The 19-year-old made his senior debut for the Canaries as a substitute in last season's 5-0 home win over Rotherham United, but has yet to appear again since.

    Sent out on loan without playing a minute for Oxford! Oxford are hardly a player farm club, signing players for the future either.

    Fitting that the 2 transfer mad clubs do a deal between each other, with Birmingham loaning young attacking midfielder Romelle Donovan to Burton!
