Really? You only think 4-3 players will be good enough for the Championship?

Which positions do you think we'll need strengthening? I think the back line will be good enough for the Championship given Colocinni Taylor Simpson and Enrique were a class above last time. Centre of the park will be fine even after we lose Sissoko & Wijnaldum. Young Aarons will be canny on the left and I can see the Mad Serb getting double figures in the Championship. The prices and wages might put off a fair few suitors as well.

I think like all clubs its a mixture of a) who will be sold b) who wants to go c) how much they need to recoup d) how much they need to cut the wage bill. Given that you have a lot of "top flight" level players, I think you'll lose a fair few. If they can't be arsed to put up a fight in the Premier League, what makes you think they'll want to be arsed in the Championship ? Generally those teams who keep the bulk of their squad come back up, you did it last time, Burnley did it, so did Norwich etc etc

The morons really don't rate Allardyce - I thought they'd be nostalgic for the days when they forced him out of the club because they thought they could do better than midtable mediocrity

Madness that they sacked him when they were 11th.

I think we'll see a similar change in squad as we saw last time, losing this years version of Duff, Owen, Viduka, Martins etc. But we'll retain a very strong spine in comparison to the teams down there. I don't think it'll be the exodus some people are hoping for though, just as it wasn't last time.
