Yes, looks one of rhe hardest prems for a newly promoted club for a long time next season

Especially if Villa or Leeds come up because although they are not better than us they are big clubs who can attract players once back at that level and will pay a lot more than us.

The usual suspects you'd have us competing against such as Palace, Burnley, West Ham, Bournemouth, Southampton or even Watford are all relatively established and have good managers or good squads. Wolves have gone up and basically move immediately into a bracket above relegation strugglers due to their financial clout and the players they were able to sign from Portugal. Not to say that any of them can't go down in any given season but there are very few weak looking sides unlike the last 2 seasons where there have been some very poor premier league sides.
