One threat out of the way

I didn't want West Ham to go up but at least they are now out of the way. I doubt they would have failed again next season and it's one less bubble trip to worry about. 3 of the 4 teams relegated last season were in the playoffs, so we can take great credit for our season. Birmingham will be in all sorts of trouble next season and none of the relegated Premiership teams will have a squad like West Ham this season. I think next season is wide open with West Ham gone and we have as good a chance as anyone else of going up. Leicester will be the obvious main threat for me with their spending power, but I think the fact we bid a million for Vardy shows Malky will get a bit of money to spend. With a few of our players already being shown the door, it's inevitable Malky will bring in a few fresh faces to improve our current squad. Plus we have kept our current squad in tact for next season, we are not having to rebuild from scratch like last summer with several loan players going back to their clubs. I am looking forward to next season and I am excited to see what players Malky will be allowed to bring in to strengthen our squad to challenge.

Keep an eye out for Leeds next season. Have a feeling that Warnock will have sorted them out by then. The Championship will be as tough as ever

I agree Warnock will have Leeds challenging next season as it seems he is being given the freedom to offload players and bring his own players in. But I think with West Ham gone and Wolves, Blackburn and Bolton inevitably losing their best players, on paper there doesn't look like a team with a squad that has a big gulf in class on paper apart from Leicester.
