Newcastle, Villa and Sunderland in the Championship......

Wow there are going to be some massive clubs in the Championship next season, it will be interesting to see how they get on ???

Do you think they will go straight up or struggle ???

If it's them 3 they will all be in a big mess with all 3 probably looking for new managers

Big Squads big wages and none of them got teams that will like to battle and fight for 46 games in the championship

I think Newcastle will do what they did last time they came down and gamble with retaining most of their high wage earning players hoping that they can go straight back up. It worked for them last time but who knows how many of their foreign players will want to stick around and commit themselves to the battleground of the Championship?

Sunderland are one of those "yo-yo" teams that seem to be too good for the Championship but not quite good enough for the Premier League. If they keep Allardyce they'll definitely be a strong contender for promotion next season.

For Villa it depends who they appoint as a manager. If they recruit well and look to get hungry players in to replace the likes of Agbonlahor then they could challenge also but they could also do a Leeds and keep on falling for a while yet.

I hope they don't schedule the Newcastle and Sunderland away games within six days of each other like when we were in the Premier League - my arse has only just recovered from spending 24 hours on a coach over a period of six days!

Out of those 3 I'd say Sunderland will be the biggest threat.

Geordies auto, Sunderland play offs, villa struggle

Villa will struggle against I reckon

I think Newcastle will struggle as a team of international players who play for themselves there is no way they will be facing a midweek game at any Championship side.

Sunderland I like to watch and could be interesting while Villa may continue to be in free fall for a long time.

Very big clubs, I think they will all give it a go, Villa it depends on the new Manager, Pearson or Moyes would probably be able to organise a decent team along the likes of Burnley this season.

Sam will organise Sunderland for a big push, I'm not sure on Newcastle, I would to see them struggle and go down ......

I think villa will be a strong championship team but only contending for play offs

Newcastle will do what they done before and Sunderland will be in the play offs to

I think Villa may go down again the club is a mess , SUnderland will be a threat but Newcastle all depends who is incharge there as I can't see the Spanish Waiter hanging around

Newcastle will spend a fortune and will go straight back up. Ashley is a c**t but he recognises the need for Newcastle to be in the Premier League, once they are in the top tier he doesn't care if they finish 17th every season.

Can see Villa struggling again but struggling for a massive club like Villa would be floating around the play offs so they will still be a threat. Sunderland are always a threat at this level. Next season will be difficult but even if all three come in the top three places there's still three other slots to win and anything can happen in the play offs.
