The 24/25 - Finish and Points Prediction Thread

Rubics

Bin VAR!
Don’t think Southampton are any better than when they went down. Look where we are compared to our first year or even last year. Couple more additions + couple of decent loans and we’ll be mid table.

leicester will have points deduction along the way and you know cooper will set them up to a low block defensive unit that isn't going to score a lot. vardy is their talisman and he's old as dirt. As for southampton , the team is only as good as their manager and martin will struggle to adapt.
If Leicester don't come racing out of the blocks I can see Cooper being put under too much pressure. It would be good to see them implode early on!

The three sides coming up this year are collectively better than the three that came up the season prior who promptly conspired to keep us in this league.

Happily would take 17th again. We still have a lot of amortisation to pay off, the single most important thing for the long term of the club is to pay that off through BAU revenue rather than player sales, and that can be achieved by finishing, at worst, 17th. That's the target for the next 2 years, anything else is a bonus.

do you think the greek overlord would be happy with 17th position for the next 2 years ?

Will Leicester actually get a points deduction?

I predict they won’t. Hope I’m wrong.
Why do you think they won't? They are going to a panel with the exact same charge that us & Everton were charged with (with bigger losses than both I believe).

And that's the one we know about, there are rumours them & Chelsea have failed the current PSR cycle too.

You are right, when we have the promotion year out of the accounts we can realistically expect to push on at that point, anything else is a bonus as you say.

Chelsea will just sell themselves Water Works and Marylebone Station again, to blag their way out of it.

Because the Man City charges are coming to a head, Chelsea will theoretically be in danger too, and I can see a fudge happening

Have to disagree.
Year 3 with a decent squad & likely additions still.
We must be looking to move up a few notches.
Which teams do you think our squad is better than?

Doubt it. Nuno almost certainly wouldn't survive in that scenario but the club would be in a sound place regardless and that's the important thing.

Vicious circle. Teams that finish 17th get their best players targeted. Or those players push to leave. Surviving off BAU revenue streams simply isn’t a viable business model for us.

33 points won't keep anyone up... last season was unusual in having 3 really bad teams come up, and ourselves and Everton having point deductions.
40 is the target!
Goals? Loads needed. Where are they coming from?
Incoming? No PVH type, no can see.

Like for all football supporters, pre-season brings a heightened expectation for the coming campaign to us. Really don't expect a relegation battle this year though.

56 points and finish 9 to 12th.

Leicester get away with FFP because of Man City and Chelsea are "innocent' according to PL and they employed better lawyers, until Everton and EM lodge a formal discrimination complaint and go to court. Then EM drives a super taker up Richard Masters' arse (no lube) and theynare subsequently docked 150 points. Bottomed 3 (in more ways than one) have been identified.
