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.

Yeah, they were very comfortable and had a few injuries to contend with last season

They’ve got fair backing, Shinnie who scored against us went there in January and couldn’t get in their team

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

Very generous. What are their odds for promotion?

Free agent, turned down new deal at Luton.
Excellent signing for Bristol City, likely on very big money I'd suspect.

Exactly. Any notion that they'll struggle next season is solely driven by the strange bias against them.
Click to expand...

Depends entirely on the business they do, and they've not done a great job of that recently. They weren’t a great side last season and haven’t got many players that look certainties to step up.

They’ll probably be fine as you basically need to be a small fish or a basket case to go down from the champ.

Naismith is 30 and probably offered good money and long term contract which is too good to turn down. Same as the Matty James deal. Doesn’t seem a very sustainable way to run a football club.

They’ve had really impressive crowds for years, 24k avg in League 1 and you have to factor in they hardly get any away support down there

Only club for miles. That said, they seemed to increase their average outside of the top flight and then have established it as a lot of season ticket holders. Their support in PL / first Division days when we were there wasn't much if any better than ours.

Their attendances improved and never went back down after 2004 , their support historically before that was really quite average for a team with nobody near them ..

6 promotions and 6 relegations in the last 18 years mean they are an exciting team to support

It definitely has helped keep their support up

We’ve been linked with a loan move for Luke Plange from Palace. At Derby last season…

They had their deduction last season if I am right??

Can see them struggling regardless, lost Swift and not overly struck on Ince as a manager

Reading have a transfer embargo and are going to have one of the lowest budgets.

Genuinely had no idea, I must admit didn’t realise they’d thrown as much money at it as they have

Thought they were by far and away the worst team that we played last season, on both occasions

Looking ahead to the teams in the Championship next season. We can once again expect the teams with parachute payments to be challenging to return to the PL.

There may be one exception .....Burnley. Under the terms of the buy out of the club, who's owners used a leverage process [similar to the Glaziers]. The cost of £65M has been placed on the club as a loan. Under the terms of the loan, which has an annual interest rate of Libor + 8% and is due to be repaid in December 2025 IF the club remained in the PL.

However, a clause in the loan terms state that if the club is relegated then the £65M is due for repayment during the year following their relegation. Therefore, if I understand this correctly, then the parachute payment of circa £45M could be used for repayment & we could expect a sell off of players.

This would not solve all their problems, as Burnley's wage bill will be significantly large and they'll have a big loss being incurred. The question for the owners is:
"Do they seek repayment of the loan now or do they gamble on getting promoted next season and seek to recoup the money and interest payments that way".

Another example of how the British game needs to change to possibly the German strategy of fan owned clubs - fans once again have no say - From the outside looking in Burnley have spent pittance in the transfer market in there time in the premier league relying on the fabulous management of Sean dyche to falling from the trap door
