I certainly wouldn't disagree with that final table, I think you have that pretty much bob on. I would be happy if we finished 4th bottom but I think it might be a bit higher.
Cardiff seem to be mentioned a fair bit in terms of relegation but 10th is a huge improvement on last season. I agree on your new manager too, there's a lot of uncertainty around him, but you will know better than anyone else in terms of the squad.
If I were a Rotherham and a QPR fan, I'd be extremely worried, Ainswirth will be out of a job come September if things start badly for them and Rotherham have lost one of their best players, alongside a League One budget. It all adds up to a season of tumult, fair play to Rotherham, they had a relatively good season but you do have to wonder how much longer they can hang on to their Championship status.
There iscertainly no value in backing Leeds or Leicester, if anyone finishes above those 2 it means these 2 have had the seasons from hell or someone has had the season of a lifetime. I do think there is value in backing Sunderland though, Tony Mowbray is a canny manager but I suspect Leicester and Leeds will have this season all their own way with the odd, not too serious, blip along the way.
