The new SCR rules make it harder for promoted teams compared to PSR IMO. Under PSR you could over spend in season 1 and then cut back or sell in seasons 2 and 3 to get yourself under the £105M limit by the end of year 3.

Under SCR it is a 1 season calculation every season so you need to be under 85% of your revenue for all footballing costs, transfer fees, wages of both players and all coaching staff. If you finish say 4th bottom that's about £120M in TV money and maybe £25M for teams with smaller grounds than us. A £150M transfer spend would be circa £30M in year 1, maybe about £50M in wages. Doesn't leave that much wriggle room.
 
Given the massive managerial merry go round this summer I think it’ll be very open. Arsenal with stability will be strong. Liverpool’s new manager will be a bigger touchline aresehole than before. Not sure whether behEddie will start ?
 
Last year when we came up you could see that Wolves were on the verge of a relegation. You would have to then say us, Burnley, Leeds and probably Brentford and West Ham were the most likely to be dragged into a relegation scrap.

This year its difficult to see which existing premier league are struggling like Wolves were a year ago. The promoted 3 have basically got to hope that 1 or 2 have bad seasons. Its most likely that it will be us, Brighton, palace or Bournemouth struggling to juggle europe with the league but in all honesty I just cant see past the 3 up going straight back down. I think there could easily be a 10 point gap between 3rd and 4th bottom

I think Fulham and Palace are probably the most vulnerable knowing they have changed managers..

It actually could be the Mags. Poor/nonexistent scouting or recruiting team. Very poor form and a manager out of ideas. A want away squad and many ageing. Owners who are not interested and rarely involved. Angry fan base. Out of Europe. A precarious PSR/SCR position.

They do have saleable assets, but are the least likely to reinvest it well.

If they dont have a good start this coming season, the bubble could burst spectacularly.

Here’s hoping….
