I can't really see a 90 point team in that lot though so think automatic will be very wide open. Bristol City will challenge I think if they finally appoint a decent manager as Johnson held them back a bit last two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Wigan could just appeal that part of going into admin was no crowds allowed which is out of their control and unforeseen and so it shouldn't be the full 12 points. You would think this si what they should argue and win. I think considering the circumstances wigan should only be given a -6 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Sheffield Wednesday could still go down yet, only seven points ahead of the bottom three and facing a points deduction themselves, don't think they have any chance of avoiding it either, best they can probably hope for is that it applied next season rather than this one.

Demitri_C Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I think wba are so poor. That teams awful. They will be relegated again. Brentford with the mother of all bottle jobs. All they had to do was win ONE of the last two games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it even been determined whether their mystery owner put them in admin for a bet? EFL should be investigating themselves and how on earth they allowed the change of ownership to go through.

Stoke defeat caused all the damage. This is the warning for Sunday anyway. So much crazy s*** happens on the final day.

Keyblade Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The Championship will be so poor next year. All the good teams of the last few years have gone up and/or stayed up. Also WBA will need a huge overhaul if they're going to compete. If they go into next season playing Livermore and Brunt and Barry and all the other geriatrics over there they'll be worse than the season they went down.

useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 There's usually a team in the championship that does well that nobody was expecting to, this year it's been Brentford, last year it was Norwich and to some extent us and Sheffield United, then in previous seasons Cardiff, Huddersfield and Reading.

pacbuddies Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Slaven Bilic is a good manager. They play attractive football and have some good players. He will strengthen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 They've been promoted with the same number of points that we finished with the season we lost to Fulham in the play-off final. We were fourth then, seven points off second place 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyers and Livermore was their regular midfield two but I doubt that's got enough mobility for premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not strengthen though, they need a new one of everything Hard to see them doing anything other than "a Villa" That squad is way off PL quality, Austin has done very little in the championship they'll have the desperate need for a striker that we got so badly wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never take that away from Forest at all but I don't think they are even the biggest supported club in the East Midlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time they went down from the prem he was 3rd choice behind Rondon and Jay Rodriguez. They've also got Kenneth Zahore who's been a massive flop and won't do anything in premier league, they'll probably loan him out. Bilic will have to work overtime with his croatian connections to get in some decent players. Perhaps they'll go for someone like Kalinic at Roma. I don't rate their defensive options either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have 4 loan players, 6 or 7 out of contract and they've already sold Ferguson I'd be amazed if they don't sign 8 to 10 players Robson Kanu started 25 games this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
