In with the new QPR, Norwich and Swansea must play without fear, says Kammy Chris Kamara Posted 8th August 2011 view comments The gap between the top of the Championship and the bottom of the Premier League is not as big as it used to be. Six or seven years ago it was more or less guaranteed that the teams that went up would go straight back down, but it's not like that any more. Fans of QPR, Norwich and Swansea can be full of hope for the season ahead. Last year we saw two of the promoted teams - Newcastle and West Brom - survive without making wholesale changes and the other, Blackpool, were very unfortunate to go straight back down. You'd have to say they threw it away because they were in strong positions in several games, but their gung-ho formation cost them big style. The managers of the promoted teams will have looked at that and learned the lessons. I'm sure they'll all have a go, play with no fear and see what happens. I had the chance to speak to both Neil Warnock and Brendan Rodgers on Goals on Sunday and neither of them are daunted by the challenge. This is a test they are relishing and you can see from the smiles on their faces that this is something they desperately want. It might work out that one of them has a disaster, but we won't really know until they kick off. They've all got a chance. Kammy on QPR Everybody expected QPR to spend loads of money once they were promoted, but Neil Warnock has been asked to scrimp and save - just like he had to at all his other clubs. If he'd been presented with a warchest then he would have spent it accordingly, but instead he's accumulated a number of free transfers and will now try to get the best out of those players. There's no doubt that, under such circumstances, Keiron Dyer and Jay Bothroyd are pretty good signings. They've also spent a little bit of money on DJ Campbell, who was the second highest English scorer in last season's Premier League, behind Darren Bent. I'm sure he surpassed his own expectations last season, but now he knows he can do it at this level and you never know what he could achieve at the club he supported as a youngster. Then there's Adel Taarabt, who Neil Warnock says might turn out to be one of the biggest success stories in the Premier League. He has been linked with Paris St Germain and Neil says it wouldn't be a desperate situation if he leaves, but if he stays then let's hope he can adapt and perform as well as he did in the Championship. The manager has had promotions throughout his career and still doesn't accept his relegation with Sheffield United the last time he was in the Premier League. Neil blames circumstances elsewhere, but I'm not so sure; I think you end up where you deserve to at the end of the day. He's learned a bit more since then and he will hope his new club can have a good time at this level. As an outsider, I just hope that if they are in a good position in January then the board will give them some money to spend. Their loyal fans have been given too many false promises over the years.
