What do you guys think? our manager says you're fav for promotion... Good luck in the new season..... http://www.peterborough.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=322152
Hmmm. Wolves may struggle. They won't be the first club to struggle after having successive relegations. Look at Leeds, Coventry, Forest. Will be interesting to see how they cope with the pressure of being 'expected' to bounce straight back up. It could be that none of the relegated teams bounce back, but that a couple of the newly promoted teams might do it. Will certainly be an interesting league to watch from a neutral's point of view. I can't wait.
We did it last time (albeit via the play-offs) and I am hoping we can do it again, but it is far from a foregone conclusion, if the favourites always won there would be some very unhappy bookmakers.
Mind games started already Lets wait & see what team we have by the time the season starts ..... lets hope we still have Gayle
Any idea of what you budget will be for transfers? Did you get anything for Boyd? Have you got any loans lined up yet? Will you be able to keep the ones you had last year for any longer?
We got a decent loan fee for Boyd but no transfer fee as he was out of contract and the end of the season. Hull's promotion means we get add-ons for Mclean, likewise for Lewis from Cardiff, I believe we also do for Lee and Whelpdale following Gills promotion and Frecklington with Rotherham. We need to off-load the transfer listed players before we know for certain how much is in the kitty for new players but I would expect something in the region of £1 - 2 million to be available. There is talk of getting Berahino back from WBA and Petrucci from Man Utd (both of whom played well for us last time) but that is still pure conjecture, I have my doubts as to whether either player would want to drop below Championship level.
