Had a few at this point. But who can honestly say, believe, that we will sign anyone of note (ie Derby)? Hope I am wrong but cannot see us paying any transfer fees that is needed or wages. Not a doom merchant just a realist. MC has the cash, but does not not want to spend it. He is a business man looking to make a profit on his investment, so spending cash is not his requirement. He actually believed he could get us promoted on the cheap and is still arrogant enough to believe the same. And those who actually think be has our great club at heart need to get their heads tested. MOT my comrades.

I disagree cork
I don't think mc will throw his cash about on big money signings but he seems to be a quick learner. I think he may of thought a few b grade foreigners were good enough to win promotion but has realised that is not the case. He wants to make as much profit as poss so will want promotion.
He has already this last few weeks done more sensible appointments than last year so he is learning.
I'm willing to bet that along with a few b+ grade foreigners we will also see a few good quality championship experienced signings. We are not going to spend millions on one player but I reckon we will buy a few goodens and I also reckon that we will be in the play off mix this season
Which is an improvement on last season so is good.

{Ed007's Note - I don't know if it's been mentioned but according to the press in Scotland, Leeds & Sheffield Wednesday are 'battling' with Rangers to sign John Eustace.}

Worth a punt for a year or two ed I reckon

{Ed001's Note - I wouldn't put too much store in the Scottish press, they seem to have missed that Wednesday are a bit busy trying to sort out who is running the team to bring in signings just at the moment! I very much doubt that they would be considering signings until they know what the management structure will be and who is in charge, so they know what style of play they will be working with. Then they will be able to figure out the type of players to go out and bring in to fit. Though with Glenn Roeder involved, any kind of idiocy could take place and not be surprising!}

I'm trying to be optimistic again Corkwhite and hope MC does invest in the players Rossler and co identify. I do believe however we need to shift some of the dross we bought last season. Apart from the odd signing we brought in some rubbish who believe they are better than they really are. The wages add up and businessman or not we have to shift some of the freeloaders

I would like to bet that Watford will surprise everyone in the Premiership
Derby to be clear champions
Don't discount Burnley
That leaves one place up for grabs in my humble opinion.
It can't be Leeds as Cellino is trying to balance the books.
Manager to get the chop before Christmas and my tip is Radabe to take us back up where we must be the following season.
We will see.

Think Leeds will be in top six next season. Middlesborough, Derby, Hull, Preston also with one from Burnley, Wolves and Fulham. Think Brentford will struggle to get in top six this time.

Preston? Really? Heart ruling your head a bit there. I reckon Preston will go back down! Tough league this year.

Dont think its any tougher than last year really. Derby are spending but new manager, new players who knows how they will start off. Teams coming down will lose their best players so will have to replace. Preston are on a high, have a good manager and a good striker, if they have a good start can see them in top ten, maybe my heart is ruling my head to get them in top six.
