Gazred Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 (edited) Crawley nicked 6th place on the final game of the season. Got me wondering what the most successful play off finishing position has been across the divisions. Edit: To sort of answer my own question, interesting read... https://www.thesportsman.com/articles/football-league-play-off-statistics-is-it-really-better-to-finish-third-or-has-the-tide-turned-in-recent-years Edited May 11 by Gazred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great atmosphere from both sets of fans, love the paly offs I raise you Italian Serie D play off: Varese v Vado. Probably a bit warmer here than Glasgow too!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not promoted West Brom have had their 3 years of parachutes and Norwich will be on their third year, so losing some of their advantage, in a division of unequals for that reason only want Leeds or Southampton to win the play offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ergo Norwich if they stay down will be from Year 2 Parachutes to EFL cash, WBA will be Year 2 Parachutes, EFL cash Year 1, EFL cash Year 2.

I get it but James who i think has been excellent for us is 33 in July and it’s a big ask to offer two years or more on his top wages which I think is what he would have wanted, we also don’t know what the internal discussions have been , eg James said two years at least and maybe has offers in the bag so never got beyond that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one of those where I would have been happy if he stayed but wouldn’t break the bank to keep him either. The point now is that Tinnion has some very decent wedge available to him to recruit players that will help Manning. Let’s see what we get instead of James, King and Andi…………….. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
