ImDrunky 0 Posted September 4, 2012 @flying high up in the sky] Yes I think by now everyone is aware we finished 12th last season lol.But this is a new season and although I agree we have improved our squad greatly, doesn''t mean we''ll do as well as before. Atm in my opinion all the teams look stronger than last season (Villa, Liverpool not yet but I can see them improving).I didn''t predict we''ll go down, I just know it will be a lot tougher this time round. But hopefully I''m wrong and we will finish in the top half.(Hate it when this site just randomly can''t do quotes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,585 Posted September 4, 2012 Last season Villa and QPR finished within 2 points of relegation and 5 points adrift of the teams above them. If the standard has improved they will have to have improved more than the rest to make up those 5 points. I''m not sure that they have because I don''t think I''d swap our summer additions for theirs. So add to them the promoted teams and I''d expect the relegated sides to be three from Southampton, Reading, West Ham, QPR & Aston Villa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There might conceivably be some dipping into the pockets of directors for an extra million or so if there was a specific target who was just out of our transfer price range, but not vast amounts of extra NCFC cash, and particularly not for wages.
