Like I said, I am still bitter  Watford beat us in Playoffs last year Sad enjoy there year of fame.

I love the teams like Swindon/Derby going up, damm we won 4-0 away at Swindon for them to concede 100 goals for the season Tongue Someone has to be cannon fodder.

But as you outlined the gap is so big now between the divisions virtually impossible for them to do anything apart from fight off relegation.

Reading being the recent exception, they totally dominated the championship and did well this year, deserved manager of the year imo.

Leicester were an exception under O'Neill for 5 brilliant years

Charlton/Curbishley too


the key point being that if you survive year 1 then the money becomes self-perpetuating, until that extra something that has allowed you to stay up...either an O'Neill or a Curbishley or  that special player leaves.


I think comparing a Swindon type team to a Derby type is wrong. Derby are a very well supported club in a new stadium with superb young players...Holmes,Barnes, Fagan etc...all going places,and some finance unlike the last 5 years.

I truly beleive Derby will survive, and I have absolutely no suport for them whatsoever as a fan

Siwndon..oldstadium, 12k fans, no money...never going to survive...like Watford weren't

I didn't realise Brum had stated they were going to loosen the purse strings. That said though, you then have to convince star players to move to that area of the country (away from London) and its also whether or not Bruce spends it astutely.

The money might keep them up, but I don't know if Brucey has been that good with his spending in the past...

There are plenty of 'star players' north of London.  You can see a lot in the North West, and there are also a fair few in the Midlands as well.  I'm sure some of the 'stars' at West Brom might also be looking to move to a premiership team in the local area - Brum is now another choice for them.

Derby - PLayoff winners rarely survive their first season, their current team will get nowhere close and i can't see them investing enough to change that.
Fulham- Struggled massively end of last season, Sanchez record in club football is hardly earth shattering.
Wigan- Same as above but a manager with even worse track record, eerily similar to Bradford 5 yrs or so ago.

Picking three this early is tough but right now I'd go for Derby, Wigan, Fulham.

Wigan - club full of whingers
Bolton - Sorry but Sammy Lee is no big Sam.....he's not even a small sam
Derby - There is definitely more to the situation there than meets the eye
