Looks like a strong league to me.
My relegation tips are;
Blackburn-escaped last season but time has run out for them
Plymouth-second season syndrome
Oxford-one promoted team usually goes straight down and they are it.

As weak as I've seen it for a few years but all about opinions. Oxford Plymouth will struggle and one from the other 18 possibles | | | |

It looks to be a much weaker league than last season. I hope we're more involved at the top half.
However, at this stage
Oxford United (sans Murphy)
Plymouth ( sans Scumacher as manager)
Blackburn, unless Smodicz reproduces last seasons goalscoring. |  |

A couple of key sales or injuries and I think we'll be in there. |  | | |

Agree.
For the last few seasons I've been amazed at some of the optimism on the board in pre-season. As it happens, I'm more optimistic this year, but if we lose, say, Willock, chair and JCS and someone comes in for Marti (all of which could easily happen over the next 4 months) we'll easily be back down there again.
If Marti stays for the season, however, I'm fairly confident we'll be up around 9th-12th. |  |

I suspect Begovic and Willock are already settled. Neither going to be with us.
JCS will be sold if we can get £6m+. That goes a long way to fining a replacement AND strengthening other areas..
Marti will stay and we'll finish around halfway. | |

Weaker league, on paper this season.
Oxford and Plymouth down.
Too many to pick from for a third. | |

As long as it ain't us I don't care! Last two seasons have been exhausting. |  | | |

Oxford, Plymouth and one of Blackburn, Millwall, Cardiff or possibly Sunderland. Hull will be an interesting watch too, it all seems quite unsettled there at the moment. |  |

Oxford are not a bad side and may do very well this season. How long Wayne Rooney will persevere in trying to create a reputation for himself as a competent manager is anyone's guess. In the meantime, Plymouth are a worthy candidate for relegation. |  | | |

Can't really say until the transfer window closes (and we'll have played four matches by then too). |  |

I think you could throw Swansea into the mix as well. |  | | |

Pay West London a visit and you can sample the pubs and visit the club shop. | |

Good point - and relegation can sneak up on you too - see Birmingham last season, or us the season before... | |

Interesting to see the pre season matches, which are far more aligned to that Manure and Leicester lineup a few years back when we had intentions of slick football and top six….
I do think there are parallels, especially if some Eze money comes in and we can re-deploy some high (Willock/begovic) and unnecessary (Kakay/etc) money to valuable
New players. |  | | |

Apart from noticing they wrapped up business very early, I know nothing about this Portsmouth team. For historical reasons I don’t want them to be any good, but are they? If so, why (coaching, players, new money)? |  | | |

You'd imagine Oxford, Plymouth, Pompey, Watford, QPR, Derby, Sheff Weds will be down there.
Also hadn't realised Sheff U start on -2 points. Not absurd suggestion to really see them struggle |  |

I’ve always assumed pre season friendlies were a money grab, but you could be right.
If the Eze sale comes in that’s some war chest eh? | | | |
