Premiership Relegation Predictions

DSB · 17-07-2007 04:43PM #1

Who does everyone think is going down?
I'd probably have to go for West Ham, Wigan and Derby.

gimmick · 17-07-2007 04:46PM

Derby, Wigan, Fulham. Boro will flirt as will Birmingham and Bolton.

_blank_ · 17-07-2007 04:59PM

Derby, Wigan, Brum.

Bolton to be down there.

Sanchez will steer Fulham from trouble.

PHB · 17-07-2007 05:02PM

Bolton might or might not be down there, not sure. I've no idea how good Lee is as a manger to be honest, but Big Sam was very good, so we'll see.

People I expect to be in the mix:

Fulham
Birmingham
Derby
Middlesborough
Sunderland
Wigan

Of that group, I think
Derby
Birmingham
Wigan

will go down.

Derby, Charlton and one of Wigan or Birmingham.

Arent Charlton already gone?

Wigan, Man City and Birmingham (or Derby)

PHB · 17-07-2007 05:13PM

Man City? With Sven in charge? They will be top table I think, maybe even UEFA.

West Ham will easily stay up, if only because of Ashton.

Dont be at yourself · 17-07-2007 05:14PM

Oops! Still getting my head around end-of-season madness!

machiavellianme · 17-07-2007 05:17PM

Precisely why with Sven in charge. Plus theyve lost Barton and Distin who were both influential last season and they still havent addressed their inability to do what matters...score goals. Unless Mpenza comes on in leaps and bounds or Sven spends very big in the next month then I'm gonna go all out and make such a bold prediction.

Reading ftw. Second season syndrome. PLus they've brought no-one new in afaik.

One Cold Hand · 17-07-2007 06:14PM

Derby and Wigan deffo.
Plus one of
Brum
Fulham
Bolton.

Don't think west ham or Citeh will go down. They've a few too many decent players.

wigan/boro
birmingham
derby

Pepe LeFrits · 17-07-2007 09:53PM

Wigan, Derby and Fulham or Sunderland. The signings the four of those teams have made scream relegation.

Birmingham on the other hand, look well prepared.

Mr Alan · 17-07-2007 10:00PM

Sunderland
Wigan
Derby

mike65 · 17-07-2007 10:36PM

Brum to do well I think (this seasons Reading) the other two will struggle plus Bolton Fulham Wigan and Boro unless they start spending.

Mike.

Should that not be ftl?

Jonny Arson · 17-07-2007 11:02PM

I feel sorry for Derby but unless a millionaire from Eastern Europe lands at Pride Park within the next month then they better start preparing for their 2008/2009 promotion campaign... even Billy Davies said before they were promoted that he didn't think the club or the squad was anyway ready to compete in the Premiership

Aside from Derby it's too hard to predict.... there is just too much money floating about the Premiership during this transfer window and as we all know 2 or 3 good signings before August could make a world of difference to the most mediocore of sides- for example if Man City didn't get their cash influx last week I'd be certain they would be heading down this season.

I think it will be Derby and 2 from these:

Middlesbrough
Birmingham
Sunderland
Wigan
Manchester City
Fulham
Blackburn
Reading

I can't pick any major difference in strength between those 8 teams, should be competitive stuff down at the bottom!

Birmingham, Derby, Wigan

Time Magazine · 18-07-2007 02:42AM

Sunderland's run of form last season was phenomenal, I see them as coming about 13th/14th, not nearer the bottom. Think Reading will be somewhere similar.

18. Birmingham (suckers to go down, again

)
19. Wigan
20. Derby

Mezcita · 18-07-2007 03:33AM

Fulham will go down. No question. How Sanchez got that job I'll never know. His record as a club manager is muck.

Attractive Nun · 18-07-2007 01:15PM

18. Birmingham
19. Fulham
20. Derby

marco_polo · 18-07-2007 01:27PM

Sunderland
Reading
Wigan

Fulham
Birmingham
Derby

Mitch Connor · 18-07-2007 01:33PM

i don't care hwo else goes down, but i want to see West Ham crash and burn. PLEASE!

PHB · 18-07-2007 01:34PM

Anyone think Derby might stay up then

I think they have two great talents in Barnes and Jones, who I think will stay up in the premiership, even if not with Derby.

Killme00 · 18-07-2007 01:37PM

Derby
Fulham
Sunderland
Wigan
Birmingham
Bolton

I am surpirsed at how many weak teams there are in the prem. I would expect Wigan and Derby to definitely go down and a dog fight for the rest.

redzerdrog · 18-07-2007 01:38PM

18.fulham
19.wigan
20.derby

Necronomicon · 18-07-2007 04:51PM

Derby have a lot of young talent and Billy Davies is a good manager, but IMO it's a season or two too early for them.

A couple of weeks ago Fulham were one of my certs to go down, but I think they've made good signings so now I'm not so sure.

I think Derby and Wigan will go down, and one team from the following who I think will be in the mix:

Birmingham
Fulham
Boro
Reading - Second Season Syndrome, losing their most influential player, lack of signings
Sunderland - unpredictable...don't think they'll get relegated, but I don't think they'll reach the dizzying heights many are predicting
Bolton - Another hard one to call, but I think they'll slip a good bit and at least flirt with relegation

He got Wycombe through to the FA cup semi final, but I agree, I think they will struggle this year.

Derby definately
Brum, maybe
Wigan Maybe
Fulham Maybe
Bolton Maybe
Boro Maybe
Reading, don't think so but not as good as last year
Sunderland, start off good, then struggle then have a run at the end of the season that keeps them up
