I think Derby,Birmingham and Wigan will go down Bolton may well struggle in there first year without Big Sam.I don't think Sunderland have bought well but they should be fine.
I was going to stick a few quid on man city to go down before sven came in. So maybe Fulham Wigan and Derby.
Fulham. No hopers I think Derby. Ditto Wigan. Jewell gone, with it their heart. Birmingham and Bolton maybe caught up too
I think Birmingham should be fine, they seem to have brought in enough talent to stay up, and the signing of Mido will give them enough fire power up front to steer clear of relegation. I actually think Sunderland will struggle more than people think, all credit to Roy Keane doing a fantastic job last season, but the Premiership is a whole new ball game and they don't seem to have brought in the right players. So my tip for the three to go down would be Wigan, Sunderland and Derby.
I fancy Sunderland to go down. They have a Championship side and I think they will struggle badly Billy Davies is a very good manager and I wouldnt be suprised if Derby just about stay up. Birmingham,Middlesbrough,Wigan,Bolton and Reading will struggle too imo.
While they probably wont get relegated i think Bolton will struggle this season,having finished 7th,8th,6th and 8th the last four seasons cant see them getting into the Top 10 even. Big Sam got the best out of the players and the way he had them play made them tough to beat. Personally dont think Sammy Lee is anything more than a coach,so not even sure if he will last the season as manager. Also their signings aint exactly world beaters - Jloyd Samuel, Heidar Helguson and a couple of others from other European Leagues. Wigan could struggle to under their new manager and after being so lucky last season. Cant see Reading do anywhere near as well as last season, 2nd season syndrome could kick in and their first 3 matches(Mancs,Chelsea and Everton) potentially could see them bottom of the PL with no points. But you would expect 2 of the 3 newly promoted sides to maybe go back down.
They did get whilemsson the swedish lad on loan, he looks a really good player! along with anelka up front nolan in midfield and should stelios return to the form he had the year before last. I dont think they'll go down. although they could be a bit suspect at back without ben haim who was a big player for em last year. I do agree tho that the signings aren't world beaters
I'd like Derby to stay up. They have a good side and a good attitude. Wigan, Brum and hopefully Sunderland to go down.
I also think that sunderland will be found out this season, alot of average players who over performed last year imho ! i could not care less about them or thier manager i personally cant see why so many people are interested in going to see them all of a sudden im sure its because of the whole irish thing but i couldnt give a flying f*ck about roy keane or his players ! I also think wigan will go down with fulham too !
