the spending levels don't have to be that huge at that level to make a difference.

It's not like the Premier League, is it?

If they get up to the Premier League, then they'll seriously have to spend, you would suspect.

Whereas, you know, an extra, I don't know, extra few million will make a massive difference at the levels of League Two, League One.

And even in the Championship, it obviously gets more competitive.

With this one, they're in sixth place at the moment, three points above the Derby, I think it is in England.

in seventh place.

They've also got a game in hand on a couple of teams above them.

So I think in terms of their overall spending, it'll be interesting to see how they can cope because we all know, don't we, the gulf between the championship and even the spending in the championship and that of the Premier League is vastly different.

But boy, oh boy, they're...

They've had a good time.

We were doing this part of the show before the Sunday fixtures, but there were two classic cup ties, Wrexham, Chelsea and then Mansfield.

Mansfield had a real good go, didn't they?

Actually, if you'd have plonked that pitch back in the 80s, and I know it looked bubbly and a little bit muddy, at this time of year, you'd have gone, oh, what a great pitch.

But yeah, Riso's impressed.

I thought, you know, it's great to see Nigel Clough on the touchline.

Obviously, I played with him for England.

And you probably did as well, didn't you?

Because you came in at the end of your career.

Yeah.
