Upheaval this summer

Could be one of those seasons where you can climb the table within being massively better than last season. Possible that Man U, Chelsea, City, Liverpool etc could all go through difficult spells while their managers find their feet
 

Too many being disdainful about the prospects of the promoted clubs ( same people enraged about us being written off ) .
For all the plaudits RLB received for last season we have seen nothing to indicate that we are other than a damp squib without Xhaka in the line up. This is clearly borne out by PPG with him starting and when not available
It is very stark and we can only assume Ghisolfi has something up his sleeve
A serious injury in the WC and it will be squeaky bum time
You could say that about 75% of the teams in this division for an injury to their best player.
 
Big changes next season

New managers at
City
Chelsea
Liverpool
Bournemouth
Fulham
Palace

Big spending rebuilds at
Man U
Scum
Spurs
Forest? (Who knows)

On top of 3 new promoted clubs

Could be chaos going into next season with the world cup delaying things potentially - I read only 9 managers kept their job out of 20 in the PL last season as well.

Seems madness. Maybe an opportunity for us?

Really good chance for Man United or Villa to do something special.

Would love Emery to be able to do it for Villa. Seems as though they’ve been stung with financial restrictions but somehow still have a brilliant team.
 
Aye.
Liverpool and Man U will be stronger though imo. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Bournemouth carry on fine with their new manager

Don't think United will be - they'll have the same issue as us (they'll now be juggling far more games), as well as the fact they're relentless for bringing in an interim, said interim doing well, gets given the job, does shite.
