Form never carries in to a new season. Most clubs have significant changes in personnel and a 3 month break over the summer means we all start with a clean slate of form come August

Otherwise known as weve lost £10m plus trying yo hey here best lost 40% of that next season

Even Google translate isn't sorting that out!

This is why you just drink in Sheffield.

Message from my AFC Wimbledon mate:
"Congratulations. You will stay up as there are a lot of very poor teams in League 1. In a normal season Fleetwood, Morecambe and Shrewsbury all would have gone down with 50 or fewer points."

He has a point. Pl**outh went down in 2019 with 50 points. This year 40 points and a good GD was enough to stay up

But we'll do much more than stay up of course

Ali Maxwell on Quest tipping Ipswich already for the title next season

Most (myself included) tipped them this. Their playing budget was reportedly around £12m this season - they recruited in a way that suggested they would run away with it. Could very well do that next season but will be interesting to see what happens if they don't get off to a good start - given the amount they're throwing at it.

I think he believes they have the right man this time in Kieran McKenna.

There should be a more settled squad as well. One of their problems last season was that Cook had inherited players he didn't want and in bombing certain individuals out the overall morale in the squad was impacted.

It will be interesting to see how McKenna performs next season - it's going to be a bit like the Sunderland gig in terms of expectations; so there will be little time for a new manager to learn on the job.

Add Portsmouth to the big club list. Forgot about them

The deluded lot down the A38 think they are a “big club”

Must hurt them to be in the same League as little Exeter.

It goes back to the old issue of what defines a big club. PAFC get attendances at least twice of what we do but at the same time they've never achieved anything, which means despite being potentially bigger than us they're also a much bigger failure.
