Southampton look in the better position to return in my opinion.
Amongst their jobs are.....Isn't that three jobs?
They might go down againLeicester have about 9 first teamers out of contract June 30
They’re fucked
They paid about £12m to the EFL over that in 2018. But I think they still might have a transfer embargo as that’s what other clubs (Forest, Bolton) faced when they failed EFL FFP.Don't Leicester have a Championship FFP sanction hanging over them too?
Absolutely. People can underestimate Rotherham and Plymouth but they would be foolish to do so. Plymouth play with a lot of energy and zest as well as quality. They will do well. It will ve a struggle for Rotherham again but they will fight all the way and surprise a few.Never write off the mighty Plymouth Argyle and Rotherham. They could end up surprising a few like Luton and Bournemouth have.
Looking at the League next season. I think Leicester, Leeds and Southampton will be in a stronger position to come back up next season. All 3 will have the finances to attract the best players in the Championship. Yes the big names and big wages players will be gone but they will have money to buy good quality Championship players that are good enough to get out off the Championship.
Then again. You will have Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Blackburn, Norwich and West Brom all in the mix too. Even Sheffield Wednesday if they win tomorrow can be a handful next season.
They'll be down to an 80s stylee 14,000 before you know it. Plastic club, plastic fans. Lost all respect for their fans when they turned on Ranieri and many many did. Pathetic. I wish them nothing but oblivion and ruin after they were one of the signatories to that letter with the rest ofvthe Nasty Nine.It will be interesting to see how many plastic clapper fans turn up next season at the King Power Stadium (assuming that King Power is still a going concern).
Great stuffBoth Leeds and Leicester could be financially fucked by going down.
