Teams coming up

[Rossi]

Of the teams coming up , would it be better for us , , 3 teams with no previous parachute payments eg cov millwall and boro , coming up , or teams with parachute already eg cov Ipswich and Southampton, ?
Personally think apart from cov who are already up , it would be better if Ipswich and Southampton came up as less for them to spend on strengthening so more likely to go straight down again like Burnley

Doesn’t matter. We’re already strong and will get stronger.

 

[jcrossan]

Long as we don't play any of them in the first month. Let reality sink in first.

Ipswich and Southampton would cause us more bother than Boro and Millwall would. Don't particularly see any of them (Coventry included) coming close to staying up, mostly because none of the 5 apart from Ipswich will spend big at all, and Ipswich have an awful manager who cannot use the squad he has. Ultimately, nowadays, you need to do as we did and spend massive and change such a significant chunk of your squad.

Benefits us though, as think next season will be a closed shop job, with the 3 promoted teams going back down fairly easily, as they did the last few seasons.

Also this - just stay away from them for the first few games and its all good. See Burnley away this season.

Hope you’re right. Highly likely Forest and WHam will have little to spend unless they cash in on players like Bowen. However that obviously comes at a risk

 

[bankofengland]

It's been a very poor quality championship this season plus when you look at the finances of the owners (doug King has already say he won't be spending much) i think it'll be another case of the safe 3 that we're promoted will go down

 

[Kenna]

Coventry are already fucked if their owners comment are anything to go by, thinking we somehow did it wrong to invest in the team and replace championship players.

 

[Super Colin Todd]

Without......End of thread!

 

[Bacon]

To survive they all need to make singings of the quality like Mukiele, Alderete, Sadiki, Brobbey, Reinildo, Le Fee then after all that glue them altogether with a signing like Xhaka.

Not saying it can’t be done but fuck me they’ve got their work cut out

We are likely to finish in the top 10 or higher and will strengthen over the summer. Why does it matter to us who comes up???

 

[jaraarrow]

I’m just worried about Coventry having the better of both games ,more possession etc but us winning ,we won’t hear the last of it

It definitely does matter like, no guarantees we’ll do as well next season

I thought I was the only one who is unable to comprehend McKenna’s formations and tactics. He played Clark as a no10 for so many games until the penny dropped. That squad he has is underperforming.

Even when Clarke started on the left, he was expected to tuck inside with their LB (Davis) bombing on past him. That’s definitely not the game that suits Clarke best. He’s been excellent this season but that’s no surprise at all, he’s ridiculous at Championship level.

 

[Vauxie]

Not seeing how any of the teams coming up have any impact on us like?
We should be kicking on and looking at improving this seasons finishing position and establishing ourselves as a top half premier team and not a 'surviving' team

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Wouldn't read too much into it..the lads team that won the playoffs was totally different to the one that started against West Ham

I'm already looking forward to that lycanthropic sex pest Keys going full Partridge about it tbf

 

[Longy]

Impossible to answer. Every club will sign players in the summer if they come up. It’s how good those signings are, not how much they spend on them.

The Mags spent £130m on two strikers. One plays in midfield & the other one gets a minute here & there & swaps shirts with the opponent.

We spent £20m on a player we utilise as an important part of our game.

They’ll all have to buy players, but until they do it impossible to say who’ll cause us the most bother.

Leicester won the title not so long ago. How are they doing?

How did Sheff Utd do the season after finishing 9th?

 

[unfairadvantage]

Who cares. We won’t be anywhere near relegation next season as we haven’t been this season.

However, I can’t see any of the clubs being able to spend like we did and attract the same quality of player. Might be a surprise with 1 of them but I’d bet at least 2 of them go straight back down.
