Coventry, Ipswich and Hull

The only players who will have grown up idolizing lampard are British players, and you’ll pay well over the top for a British big name player. Tge bigger question is to any of them have the infrastructure to recruit from abroad successfully. For me Ghisolfi was absolutely the key to our success. I very much doubt the 3 promoted teams have anywhere near that level of contacts in European football. Hence all three are fucked…..

Sunderland and Leeds have the advantage of being bigger clubs that naturally attract players more easily, easier to show the players a vision. Hull is a harder sell for top-tier targets with multiple offers. Coventry however has a unique draw with Frank Lampard. For players who grew up idolising him. Anything can happen of course but do think it’s a much harder job for the three coming up.

Why is he a unique draw? He was decent premier league player but did nothing compared to similar players in his era. Zidane for one.

Ipswich have a decent chance imo. Yoyod back immediately so will still have a few players on board with premier league experience, and won't need a total overhaul, money to spend, and a manager who has been there before and learn from past mistakes.

They retained some players. Coventry owner has had a go at what we did, so I don't expect much there.

I think calling him a decent premier league player is maybe understating things a bit. He got to double figures for Premier League goals in 10 consecutive seasons playing in a central midfield role.

Yeah he was a good player. But he absolutely wasn’t a world great. And flattered to deceive on international level.

His honours say otherwise. He's the highest scoring midfielder of all time in the Premier League.

I don't think it is necessarily a draw for players though but it he will continue to be in the spotlight. The media will be putting him under pressure from day one.

He won a lot with Chelsea. Never impressed for England. And in my view was nowhere near Zidane.

But yes I agree it will be the Frank Lampard show - which isn’t a good thing I reckon. Pressure as you say.
 
Think next season’s the first with SCR instead of PSR. Be interesting to see how it affects the promoted clubs and if any of them are willing to gamble in the first year.

Just had a look on oddschecker for next seasons relegation odds and although they are still showing this seasons, they have next season's title odds and we are 17th favourite. Cheeky bassas.
