    Assuming we remain in the championship which is virtually inevitable where do you think we'll finish next season. I know it completely depends on the strength of the squad but will it be another play off push?..., A boring mid-table or maybe even languishing towards the foot of the division. With Warnock in charge and if key players like McCormack and Snoddy stay then i'm thinking an identical season next year to this one. But if we sort the defence out i think we could make the play offs.

    My Prediction = 9th
    Points = 65-72

    I can't realistically see us making the play offs because Bates refuses to invest on players despite the recent sales of Howson, Johnson and Kilkenny. And we get average attendances of 22,000ish with top prices of around £30 for an adult. It's a mystery really, where all that money goes, but you know we're building a base and at least relegation is unlikely.

    Too early to guess yet. Too many variables - will we have money to spend; who can we persuade to stay; who can we get rid of; who can we sign for two bob etc.

    Let's revisit this in August.

    Way too early to think about or predict - Will Warnock be given funds, will he stay, will Snodgrass and Clayton sign new contracts the list goes on...

    Mid table mediocrity.

    All the usual baloney about targets. But Bates won't back Warnock. Warnock leaves in November. Crowds down to average 19000. Bates blames the fans for not turning up for a lack of money and expenditure on the team (hmm, I think that has happened before). Major cashflow problems. Bates sacks Harvey. Harvey murders Bates and the rest of the directors after gatecrashing a full meeting, then commits suicide.

    Club sold by a very happy Mrs Bates to a new fans consortium, based on 30,000 fans putting in £1k each. We employ a top long term manager. Match tickets priced at reasonable average Championship levels, money comes pouring in as do the fans, and we build slowly over the course of 5 seasons using our own money and keeping financially viable.

    1st with around 110 points with McCormack as top goalscorer on 42 goals and snodgrass not far behind him on 35 goals. Lonergan will have 41 clean sheets and top that table as well, Clayton will have 33 assists and the whole championship team of the year will be filled with 11 leeds players and snoddy will get championship player of the year edging it over Michael Brown and Tom Lees. Its a season to look forward to

    A mystery indeed.

    How do you know we are building a base?

    Have you read the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011?

    We're not building a base. It's all a short term plan with the illusion of a long term plan. It's really concerning me.

    Warnock would surely have joined Wolves if he hadn,t been given assurances by Bates as to what he can spend in Summer HOWEVER do you believe that man says because I don,t!.
    So giving him the benefit of the doubt I would sat Wolves West HAM BOLTON WIGAN LEICESTER and the 2 Sheffield teams will all be fighting for the top 6so we will have to do a lot better
