I think there is another plan for big spending in the Premier too. But as ROLAND rightly points out it could be shit or bust. One other positive note is the money the owners are putting into the club infrastructure. The training ground is being massively developed, this suggests to me they are in for the long term.

I think Brighton will go well and take last years good form into this year. Look at Norwich for an example of what can be done.

I would agree that they are in it for the long term with them improving the clubs infastructure.

Don't fancy Leeds to do owt this season bates has shown his ambition or lack of by getting rid of schmeichal and signing a 2ndvrate gale in rachubka also possible signing of dudek , smith , woodgate and bowyer were going backward ,smith never been the same since he broke his leg, woodgate had never been right is be happy with bowyer to come but bates 10k wage limit won't entice many here.
My prediction for Leeds 10th to 15th

Promotion , west ham , leicester and either Birmingham or southampton
Relegation , palace , peterbro, and poss bristol city

Was suprise when you got rid of your number 1 keeper

Schmeichel isn't all that, don't get me wrong, he's good enough for the championship but he's really nothing special.

Mackail Smith signs for the Albion

I glad we didn't sign him he wasn't worth 3 million quid he was shit in Championship the season before last.

Andrew Taylor's move to City now official, still waiting on David Goodwillie.

And unlucky West Ham, Martyn Margetson is on his way to ruin your keepers after being told it was either jump or be pushed at the CCS.

We'll see who is right next May, apparantly he didn't sign for you as Sven was on holiday and couldn't be bothered to turn up to meet him.

To me 11 goals in a struggling Championship team is quite good and I'll bet my house he will score more than that fuckwit Murray at Palace.

Leicester have signed bow hunting, carnivore, NRA advocate Ted Nugent by all accounts
