The club was saved and is now owned by a team of men that are also fans. After decades, Selhurst Park is owned by the club and only a few of the best players have been retained from last season. The new owners are all successful businessmen and intend to run the club as a business, cutting out stupid and risky spending. Time will tell if their approach will be successful.
My predictions for the season ahead are listed below. I am rarely correct and would not suggest making a bet based on my thoughts.
Premiership: (No surprises again I fear)
Top in order:
Chelsea
Manchester United
Arsenal
Manchester City
Liverpool
Relegated:
Wolves
West Brom
Blackpool
Championship:
This could be an incredibly open league this year with 10 or more teams with the ability to do well. The top 2 might feature any of these teams...
QPR
Hull
Cardiff
Leicester
I think Crystal Palace will have another erratic season with so many changes having taken place. A mid table finish would be welcome.
The golden boot:
The Premierships top scorers will be, in this order...
And what about the Scottish First Division - are the Pars going to win this year?
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Palace, always been one of my second favourite teams.
ReplyDeleteUnited could well win the Premiership, never write them off until it's impossible.
Liverpool fifth?
They wish!
Torres GB ? I'll have little bet with you on that.
You've only put that because you would like to help him celebrate.
Torres is a god. End of.
ReplyDeleteAs for Scotland - it's business as usual I think. I really believe that the Scottish leagues have a great opportunity to build teams of virtually all Scottish players. It would bring in crowds and help the national team and i don't think it would make much difference to the Champions League performance.
I really think Wigan are nailed on for a bottom three finish. Wolves will be in a similar position to last yr imo.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Palace. Hopefully it will be a bit less nail-biting than last yr
