It'd be genuinely mad if Chelsea actually got dragged into this

I sincerely doubt they will, but it'd be a turn up for the books considering how much they've spent

It’s weird isn’t it guessing they will gel soon but even last year they where only just safe

Especially when look at the manager they have

I think most of us would bite an arm off down to the elbow for a chance to have Poch manage us

Was he a slow starter at Saints and Spurs originally?

You look at their squad and it's actually not that good at all. They've spent over £1 billion and don't have any stand-out players who can really change a game.

Sanchez is their main keeper and he's bang average. Silva is their best defender and he's almost 40. Apart from Reece James, who is always injured anyway, all of their defenders are crap.

In midfield they've spent almost half a billion, yet Fernandez and Mudryk haven't adapted to the league at all, while Caicedo somehow commanded a £115m fee despite having only been here a year. Most likely it was Brighton making him look like a superstar rather than him making them look great.

Up front Sterling who is half the player he used to be, an immature Jackson who can't stop getting booked, and Broja who has proven nothing in his career so far.

It's a poor, poor squad made up of reckless signings. Bottom half definitely, and would be amazing if they were in the relegation fight. Hope so.

Glad the talk is of Chelsea rather than us

Problem for Chelsea is once you have an embedded culture of losing, it's v difficult to remove it.
The players will be shackled with it.
If they don't get few results soon they will have a long season in bottom eight.

I honestly don't see Luton nor Sheffield Utd getting more than 15 points each.

We really need to use this opportunity that should we get a points deduction we may still have enough.

Id go so far as to say beat Luton and Bournemouth should see us about a third of the way to safety.

Dont see any points deduction at all, only a big fine, plus i am sure it was said few months ago, that there is no points deductions now for any FFP breaches

 

[larbert toffee]

Can't see the bottom three being much different at the end of the season to what it is currently.
We obviously badly needed that win but I think we will be okay.

Need to see a bit more of Burnley. They have Luton game after next which could be a springboard for them. Fail to win that and you start to think a 30 point total might be sufficient this season

Must admit - you see their line up and subs and think where has the £bn gone!

I am worried about this October charge plus administration talk.

I think our squad is capable of 44+ points but point reductions make for another difficult season plus our slow start.

Luton and Sheff United will struggle to get 20 points I think. I had Burnley, Fulham, Brentford, Wolves and Bournemouth below us at the start of the season and I don't think that's changed.

 

[alel]

The only one which worries me is Burnley because they won the championship with ease last season and have had a tough start with their fixtures

I feel they are the type of side who could pull out wins against the bottom half teams especially at home.

I just hope this poor start affects their confidence and they don’t recover from it

I’ve never understood why the team who wins the championship think they are inferior to the bottom 7 in the PL and try to add PL experience players who obviously no one actually in the PL think are good enough
