Derby County
Fulham
Huddersfield Town
Ipswich Town
Leeds United

Depends who they sell and keep. If they can get Thorne back there and keep Hughes then they're not far off being very good. I would say lower end of playoffs though.

Good to see Nick finally tipping Brighton to end their overspending and go back down again. Day trippers can leave the place alone then and he can get his club back

Machida hardly did superbly well at the clubs he was on
loan at last season. Le Fondre is a good signing.

ALF and Macheda are both decent buys. Macheda got 10 in 18 for a bad Brum side. If they keep ALF, Macheda, Campbell and Jones then they'll go up. With some of the Norwegian lads in that side and a decent set of champ standard defenders they could probably run away with it if Tan keeps his head

Cardiff and Fulham to go straight back up in the automatic spots for me.
Derby, Norwich, Bolton & Ipswich in the play offs
Brentford, Millwall and Charlton to go down.



Wolves, though flattered by several of your predictions for a top six spot, just happy to be allowed back into the party. Would bite off hands now for 15th.

Im happy for Kenny Jackett, rescued from the hellhole of Millwall. I would happily see him thrive as a manager now, always came across as a class act.

Automatic - Fulham, Derby.

Play offs - Blackburn, Reading, Ipswich, Bolton.

Going down - Millwall Charlton Rotherham

Toughest league to call.

I can see Watford going down to though.

Think Brentford finishing around 18/19th.

Think Norwich/Cardiff will finish 8th/9thish.

Love to see Bournemouth kick on from last season, but feel they will finish just couple of places above drop zone.

Tbf good appointment. Kept up a very poor and in experienced Charlton team last season. But I must agree think Blackpool will have it hard next season.

Where have you seen this? I hop, if this is true, that we can get this sorted as soon as possible. A billionaire is taking over for £1 because we are up for sale at £1. So basically, anyone who bids £1, has a chance of becoming the new Reading chairman. It is to attract more interest from successful businessmen so that we can improve in the season to come. But we need some investment. Sold out top striker to our rivals, so Adkins needs to replace him as soon as possible. Also, this is disrupting his pre-season plans, which is by far not good. We must get this problem resolved as quickly as possible, the sooner the better. Why do people think we will get in the play-offs this season? I'm afraid I'm going to go for a lowly 8th position finish, just because there are teams with more investement money and a better squad than what we currently have. Derby aren't that good anyway, I personally don't think they will get there. My very bold predictions are:

Promotion: Forest and Brighton.
Play Offs: Blackburn, Bournemouth, Fulham, Wigan.
Relegated: Brentford, Blackpool, Charlton.

Promotion because they have the best squads and tactics in the division now, I strongly believe they are both good enough candidates, I'll be surprised if they aren't there or thereabouts come the close of the season. Play-Offs, difficult choice, Bournemouth have a bit of investment under their belts and do have quality, they just need to find a good enough replacement for Grabban. Blackburn, overall quality, great squad and a fantastic team, Fulham because they are just a class above and Wigan because they have PL experience in themselves. Brentford I can see struggling as they don't have what it takes in this league, Blackpool struggling for squad depth, quality and investment and Charlton because they just aren't cut out for this division.

Brighton? Yes, indeed. With Hyppia in charge, I can only see them progressing. Worked wonders at Bayer Leverkusen and brought them back up towards the top of German football again and he loves the way Brighton play and it works in his favour. One of the best technical squads in the division and no real debt problems. Nottingham Forest are pretty much identical to Brighton as well.

Brighton won't progress until they invest some money in there playing squad. They've hit there ceiling with two good young coaches and have hired another, but if they continue to sign cheap guys and look to get by and maybe fluke promotion via the playoffs then it ain't gonna happen and they'll drop back to obscurity before long.

Anyways RVW is gonna score 40 goals this season so screw everyone

I think since we got the AMEX we have progressed from a minor league one club, to a big established Championship side. Its a tough league to get out of. But tbh ill be more than happy for another season, like last season, the season before that and the season before that!

Brighton will continue to buy Poopie players and give them disproportionate wages to their ability. And then sell the good ones they get on the cheap. Sadly, they are blooding some young managers in an age where fans want fashionable choices, thus these managers will soon leave.

#freeJelleVossen was trending on Twitter and he tweeted something along the lines of having his own hashtag, Belgian news even ran a report on it with a weeping Boro fan apparently :/

Would be excellent if we can push through a move for him, Adam Clayton for a Million, Kenneth Omerou on loan and our new Spanish striker Kike - looking like putting a decent squad together.

Emnes off the wage bill and getting £2.25 from Burnley for the Juke (they have been robbed) has obviously freed up some cash for a real promotion attempt this year.
