Dyche has got them up out of this league before after relegation , if be more worried if he was still in charge about the possibility of facing them
He’s alright really once you see past the shock jock, got good knowledge of the lower leagues
Vincent Kompany is going to be the next Burnley manager, imagine that’s where some of the best Man City youngsters will be heading
Not going to pick the dog shit up in my garden between now and when we play the mutants at home. Spend all of that morning picking it up in poo bags and sell them for a quid a bag before the game.
Agree. They'll spend money. Certainly won't breeze it but equally doubt they'll be fighting relegation.
Will they though? They have an excellent manager in Alex Neil, a billionaire owner and the biggest fanbase in the division.
They'll be fine.
Would be surprised to see them pushing for playoff place but equally can’t see them fighting relegation. With the fans, manager and investment should have a comfortable mid table finish. The following year I expect them to be hovering about the playoffs.

Their issue will be if the fans can stay content enough for them to bob around in lower mid-table for a season of consolidation. They are very much an all or nothing fanbase and will want to be challenging. If they end up getting rowdy then Neil could get the sack and then you end up with no continuity.
Yet some wankfest of a website is saying that Burnley and Middlesbrough are interested in Vik well they can feck right off !
Think their ownership is really complicated, isn’t it, from what I’ve heard? The two that were in charge before are still technically majority shareholders. Mind you, I heard all this off a Geordie, so it might be wishful thinking!
I said a few weeks ago to someone that Vic would have been a good match for Burnley.
Now both clubs in same division it makes no sense. I
Well I think it's more of a case that the new 'owner' doesn't have as much of a controlling stake as Sunderland fans were led to believe.
So it's complicated in terms of who's really making the decisions behind the scenes.
Sunderland will be fine. They’re a massive club, they’ll easily attract decent players and with the money the fan base will bring in alone I’d hazard a guess they’ll be closer to the top 6 than the bottom 3
Exactly. Any notion that they'll struggle next season is solely driven by the strange bias against them.
I was hoping Wycombe would come up to occupy one of those relegation spots. I see Rotherham having one but still leaves two open.
Bristol City, Birmingham, Reading, Rotherham, Wigan will all be at risk next season I'd imagine.
Having Wycombe in the Championship is completely pointless.
Its about time Birmingham got relegated
Theyve been shit for years and got away with it, can see them finally going
Early 3 for me Birmingham, Reading, Blackpool (will have second season syndrome I think)

I’m thinking Bristol and Birmingham are in trouble. reading and Wigan for me I can’t work out. Reading have effectively got a clean slate so Ince can bring in what he wants. That being said I’m unsure about him, Wigan have a bit of mementum
Bristol City joint second favourites to go down. Norwich even money for a top 6 finish seems overly generous, unlike the other clubs coming down they’re stable and can’t see them bombing

Ince is a poor manager and losing Swift is a pretty substantial loss. They've appointed a new Director of Recruitment as I'd imagine they realised that if they have a poor window then they're likely to be in for a long season. Whether he'll make a significant difference remains to be seen though.
Wigan reminds me a bit of Peterborough the year they went up - decent players for League 1 but whether they're good enough to make the step up is another matter.
Rotherham, Bristol and Birmingham are the one's are probably most likely to go down though.

Josh Bowler will be a big loss, presuming he's sold.
But Neil Critchley is a very good manager. I back them to stay up.
Reading depends a lot on Joao though, if he’s still there and scoring they’ll be ok.
I don’t think Blues can go down twice mate
He's one of their highest earners and given they have been ordered by the EFL to cut their wage bill to £16m from £21m by the end of June I think he'll probably leave to make room for further signings.
