I’d say Leeds have the best chance of survival but it all depends on signings, as always
The concern i have with Leeds, is they were at their best being really attacking last season but they can't do that in the PL

As you signings are keen for all the teams, impossible to tell at this stage who is in the best position

1 of the promoted teams will stay up this season imo

It might be red and white tinted glasses, but of all 3 teams I feel we are better set up to sit in and hit teams on the counter.

If we get the signings right and add to the pace we already have I think we stand a brilliant chance of staying up
 
Aye, but what have the relegated teams got the last 2 seasons?

I could Google it like <laugh>

Edit.
26 and 27 points would've kept you up last 2 season. 35 the season before.

Is the last 3 seasons when the premier league money really kicked in?

That's not right. 26 points would have kept you up if you could insert a 21st team into the league, but that's not how it works. Leicester would have needed 39 points (or 38 and a massive GD swing) to stay up last season. Spurs finished 17th and you can almost guarantee they'll be nowhere near the bottom of the table next season, which means our target is Wolves who finished on 42 points.

We will most likely need at least 40 points, and that line may actually be getting even higher as the gap between the Prem and Championship grows. It's a very real possibility that all the established PL teams finish on 45+ points next year.

Make no mistake, it's a huge ask for us to stay up next season.

Never thought of it that way tbf.

Good points.

Last 2 years outliers because of poor recruitment?

The "midtable" becoming too strong for promoted teams to compete with?

Is the gap just too big?
 
Just googled and you're right. Presume that's where Sky are getting the boost in live games from

that’s right. Sky acting like they’ve got loads of extra games, and they have, but it’s mostly concurrent games like the ones Amazon showed. So there’s not actually much benefit for the consumer. Watch the prices lifted up tho.

Yep. And that's with the teams above the bottom three easing of the gas early knowing their season was done.

But it's there to have a pop at, and we should enjoy it.

Really interesting this. Huge part of Klopps success at Liverpool, didn't work out for him at Salzburg but maybe he's more suited to being an assistant. Really recommend his book for anyone interested in coaching.
Just posted it on another thread. He’s clearly massively rated as a coach
