I think out the 3 coming down, Southampton will be the strongest

They're in a far healthier position than Leeds or Leicester, both financially and squad-wise. Lots of young, valuable assets like Lavia, Bella Kotchap etc. The ones they don't sell are all on long contracts and/or recently joined so they can be the base of their squad in the coming season.

I agree, which is why I said the other two were a mess. Soton will very likely be the strongest of the three and that's saying something.

I know a couple of people in there and they pretty much accepted the fact they where down very very early into the season and have been planning accordingly. They think long term it will be the best thing for them and it's hard not to agree really. They have a fantastic club set up and if they go straight back up then they won't have any problems.

As you say, Leeds and Leicester are a totally different story and could be a difficult one for them, especially Leeds

I don't think they will, but even so with the fees they bring in they'll be very strong.

I know some of the names will go but they looked good going forward. The pace in that squad is something else. I have visions of Jones, McLoughlin and Greaves getting fleeced time after time.
 
Leicester are somewhat in the ****. Lots of their most valuable players are out-of-contract so they won't get a fee for them. Seeing a player like Tielemans leave on a free must sting. Their best and most valuable players like Maddison, Barnes and Dewsbury-Hall will probably go which will give them some money to reinvest. From what I can tell, a lot of Leicester fans believe a lot of their players downed tools last season and don't want to be there and didn't have the stomach for a relegation scrap. They won't want to stick around in the Championship either.

Their other issue is I don't believe they have relegation clauses for all their players which will restrict their budget.
 
Just seen a flashy, silver sports car drive past my work in the middle of town. Stuck out like a sore thumb. Looked like a BMW i8 with a young couple in it. New signing perhaps? <laugh>

Love the last 2 words.

The quality? Leeds and Leicester are a complete mess and Soton are going to have a huge turnover. Could be a Burnley, could be a Stoke. We dodged a number of bullets with Everton and West Ham staying up.

Complete mess?
Huge turnover?
Really? What makes you you say that?
Leeds could have been in a mess but it looks like the buyout is going through, so I don't see why they would be 'a complete mess'. In fact, it could well be a much better situation for them compared to having the Italian owners. Also have a very good academy, as do the others.
Leicester have issues, but 'complete mess'? I don't see it.
Similar with Southampton, as others are already saying.
Btw, I really hope you are right.
