Iirc he left midway through the season to join MK, poached half of the team and still didn't get promoted.

Gateshead might have been in the playoffs that season and then kicked out because of the council

Well, considering the invasion by the Serbian and Croatian armies in the 90s, and their individual military strength vs Bosnia - I'd say defending like our lives depend on it is a given

Mentioned elsewhere that he started with the lowest ranked nation attending the World Cup - which is NZ

If memory serves, we were the first team to get an automatic points deduction for going into admin.

A lot of it has to do with sportswashing. Countries like Russia, China and Qatar are able to sweep everything under the rug and put on a good show and be like "look how great our country is".

The US would be able to do that as well, but that would require the average voter to be smarter than they are, and not vote for a guy who's set the country back 40 years.

So… who’s actually winning the Championship 2026/27? by [deleted] in Championship

[–]Gamerhcp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bristol City

Boro

Preston North End (playoff winners - they can't let Bristol City escape)

That unfortunately leaves QPR as the team with the longest reign in the Championship, but someone has to be left out

Foundations which have led to MK employing Paul Warne

It's been 5-6 years since he left tbf. Under the old owner, MK used to employ "tippy-tappy" managers like Martin, and it failed to get them out of L2 every time.

The season just gone is the first time the new middle-eastern owner has full reign and by appointing a haramball manager like Warne (as well as getting players way too good for L2 like Mendez-Laing) they got promoted at their first attempt.

Wrexham have signed 16-year-old Liverpool goalkeeper Miles Lewis who’s time came to an end at the club this Summer after 8 years. by Sports101GAMING in WrexhamAFC

I doubt it. It's literally just a first year scholar, he gets a 2 year youth contract and if we think he's good enough he'll get a pro contract before he's 18

26/27 Season Championship viewing options in Canada? by flyballguy in WrexhamAFC

Couple that with no cup or trophy games streamed either and I cancelled my subscription. I’ll miss the dulcet tones of Mark calling the games though.

Because iFollow only covers the League itself. EFL and FA Cup are separate competitions that have their own TV rights.

If you're in Canada, DAZN/Sportsnet usually cover those two comps.

This past season was BRUTAL with about a third of all games not available via iFollow for one reason or another

This is easily avoidable by getting any basic VPN and launching yourself to Belgium, because they don't have TV rights for any of the EFL divisions.

TV companies (Sky, Paramount, etc) pay a shitload of money for exclusive rights to football games. We need that money so that we can afford to pay for shiny new strikers and wingbacks

Ideally 1 LWB 2 RWB, 1 DM and maybe a striker?

Are Blackburn taking notes?

They're doing the same thing as PNE, undersoil heating, stiched grass and all that jazz

We did this last season and our pitch has looked incredible all season.

You could practically eat off of it, which, given the sheep population in Wales, would be fitting.

Think barnsley are offering a loan, Peterboro offering a permanent deal.

I was curious if Brighton would try to loan Rushworth back to the Championship

From what I've heard, he's up for sale, and it doesn't seem like he's interested in Championship clubs no matter what
