Will get relegated next season. I've been saying for years Blackburn will be totally screwed when Jordan Rhodes leaves. Fulham have been dodgy for the past few years and the only way out of this division is threw the trapdoor. You heard it here first.
Straight after the match on Sunday my mate and I were discussing which recent ex-prem club would be next season's financial basket case a-la Bolton. I said Blackburn, he said Fulham. I'd have also wagered a tenner on Villa to have dropped like a stone if it weren't for the new owner.
I've a funny feeling Fulham will be competing at the top end this year. Heard they're looking to spend and have some very, very good young players at ages now where you'd expect them to push on. Blackburn are languishing but why would Warnock be interested in going there if they werent making the right noises? He's no idiot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Fulham have also got a top manager at the club who's more than capable of getting them into a promotion race next season.
Seeing my ex boss on Friday - he is a Fulham ST holder who has been quite critical for the last couple of seasons - havent seen him for a while so dont know how he sees next season but will find out Blackburn wont go down with Warnock in charge My picks for relegation Burton Rotherham and one from Huddersfield Bristol or Leeds ( Hopefully Bristol and leeds with Rotherham and Huddersfield staying put)
Can't help but think Burton will set up defensively every game under Clougn, which might work. Can also see teams getting turned over at their ground. Will be much better than when Yeovil came up. Agree with Rotherham and Huddersfield struggling. Can see Rotherham getting left behind to be honest now they've appointed a lower league version of Brendan Rodgers. If Leeds appoint Garry Monk, they'll be up and around the top six.
Leeds won't break the top half whoever they appoint. They need a rebuild, and that needs time and patience, something Cellino and Leeds haven't got. Sent from my iPhone
blackburn could well struggle without rhodes, and there are always one or two surprise struggling teams who should be doing better. will rotherham have that same fight in them without colin wker, and will burton go straight back down like Mk and yeovil did in their first ever season at this level.
Surprise struggers could be Nottingham Forest. Collapsed dreadfully at the end of last season, and my mate who follows them home and away reckons they could well have gone down if the bottom three weren't so completely inept. Says he sees little reason to expect any improvement this time around. Reading also seem to be completely lacking in any sort of direction at the minute.
I reckon Leeds could appoint Sir Alex and they'd still struggle because of the way they're being run.
