Should we start the bidding with which teams are most likely to gets points deducted? |  | | |

Nothing against them, not relegated yet, and yes I’m straw-clutching, but could Leicester drop through the leagues like a dose of salts. Especially when dee-fense coach LL Cool J (ah I do have something against them) lobby’s for his mate Fat FwÃ¥nk as new gaffer. |  | | |

playing devil's advocate Clive, they would have gone done without Readings point deduction... just saying. [Post edited 16 May 2023 13:21]

I think Leicester will win this division next season and it won't even be close. But I'm often wrong about these things. | | | |

Someone we know who studies football inside out expects Southampton to walk the league. He is adamant about it.
As for Leicester, their team consists of attacking players who will want to leave if they go down and defenders who are the main reason for their plight. Play offs at best is my guess. |  |

Very much depends on their managerial appointment I think - could be Burnley, could be Norwich. If it's Deano, play-offs at best (apart from in Justice League) |  |

Southampton and Leicester comfortably top 2 next year imo. The playoffs will be wide open as don't see many outstanding teams left in the league, like any year a good summer for any of the mid table teams, including us, can put you right in the playoff picture |  | | |

Yeh I can see that.
They've already got players like Tella and Smallbone to come back in, they're making the right noises about manager and style. | | | |

How close are both Blackburn and West Brom to financial meltdown? Blackburn have now lost the services of their Chilean superstar for nothing after rejecting £20million offers last season and West Brom have an old, overpaid team and an owner that has shafted them financially, and from what I understand no further parachute payments. Might be worth a cheeky bid to bring back Furlong. Cardiff I also expect to have some financial issues. |  |

West Brom the meltdown starts here I think.
Blackburn are an odd one. One of those clubs like Stoke who keep positing horrendous financial results without it ever apparently being a problem.
Remember though, they do have a big sale (Armstrong) in their three year cycle as it stands. | | | |

Interesting...yep, as said, Cardiff were 'relegated on grass' as it were, so they have to be one of the Reliable Three...I'm also thinking Stoke, and maybe Posh if they go on to win at Wembley.
Failing that, I always think about Preston (surely one year they'll bomb? Next season would be as good as any...) and Hull (I thought it was perpetual chaos behind-the-scenes there - that must 'land' at some point?).
Forget the relegated Prem clubs and PP clubs (Watford, Norwich, even West Brom) - nice idea but it won't happen anymore - too much unfair money despite their ineptitude.
In similar vein, tonight could be important - for all their success, if Luton fail that could be 'it' for them and their meagre resources IMHO. They could 'come down and join us' next season, whereas Sunderland look 'on the up' to me.... [Post edited 16 May 2023 14:36]

What a waste of time.
I just see who Clive tips, and then bet on the other guys. Much quicker, and leaves me more time to do other more meaningful things, like post on this forum. | |

Every year people back relegated team's to go right back, comments like strongest league ever always get trotted out.
Bar Burnley the league has been terrible this year. Watford and Norwich both struggled after coming down.
The first year we come down we have good young players, money to spend and still blew it, I see Southampton being potentially the same.
Leeds - Depends who they appoint, not many of them are leaving
Leicester - Massive shock, loads to leave, culture of losing. Could struggle
Forest - Would back to do well if it was them given manager and largely a Championship side.
Everton - Purely for Dyche you would fancy them.
Of the sides already here you would have to back Stoke to be better after a summer with Neil.
Ipswich would be my dark horse tip.
3 teams worse than us - League 1 play off winner, Plymouth, Cardiff [Post edited 16 May 2023 14:41]

Good post here and a few posters are picking Southampton to win it all and march straight back up.
But what happens if James Ward Prowse and a few others leave or are poached away.
Are the days of fire sales over now with the money paid to relegated teams so they can keep their top players , or do those players view this as a failure and move on.
Leicester if they drop down could lose a lot of top players IMO .
We just need to start well as most seasons and avoid any miserable losing streaks then pick up our push in March onwards and comfortably survive |  | | |

Was unsure about Burnley but felt Norwich and Watford would fail on the basis that up/down, up/down season after season eventually wears you out. Neither set of players seemed to fancy another promotion.
As for next season, I cannot see past any of the relegated three dominating the Championship and ending up top three. Land of the giants next year, if your ground doesn’t have a capacity of 30,000 plus, don’t even bother. |  | | |

Don't Leicester get hit retrospectively with breaking FFP when they originally went up? I'm sure I read something about this not that long ago. | | | |

I think Ipswich will be good too.
In the same way people always back the three relegated sides to go straight back, we've all been saying "surely Stoke will be better next season" every summer for years now, and they've finished bottom half of the division every year for five years. | | | |

Ahh..ignore that. They already settled with the EFL on that a while ago after having come to an "arrangement", despite protestions from ourselves, amonsgst others. | | | |

I would normally agree but the difference this year potentially is a summer for Neil to work on the side.
KM at Ipswich down a great job, superb support and a real momentum in the town, I think a decent bet for top 6.
Not sure what Watford will do but outside looking in predict a struggle. Leicester depends who they appoint, same for Leeds albeit better equipped for Championship. Southampton's recent recruit been terrible so depends who they get, can't see too many being snapped up.
Flip side a couple of good seasons but if Luton don't go up will they repeat it, I don't see it, same levelled at Millwall and Blackburn without Diaz.
Side coming up to watch - Ipswich
Most improved current Side - Stoke | | | |

Watford to me have done what West Brom did a couple of summers back - put Ismael in charge of an aging, immobile, disinterested squad.
Of course their Udinese fiddle means FFP basically isn't a factor. | | | |
