Looks a tougher prem next season especially if West Ham come up
You would think QPHa might sort themsleves out a bit with their spending power and I would expect Villa to improve. I think Swansea may well find the going a bit tougher as there have been a few signs towards the end of the season of opposition managers figuring out their lack of Plan B.
Both Saints and Reading will have a bit of cash to spend but from what i've seen of the championship this season I think its been pretty mediocre and i think both will have to improve a lot to stay up. That said they could of course do it just as we did.
It may be the turn of one of the other longish term overachieving teams like Fulham or Stoke to struggle and my money is on the latter so I would say the pack fighting relegation will be:
Saints
Reading
West Ham/Blackpool
Us
Swansea
Stoke
Wigan
West Brom
QPha
Not really sticking my neck out there but I guess the point is that unless you are in the top 6-8 really established clubs there is always a chance you could get relegated from the prem, even if you have been there a few seasons.
