Down and out - Who's gonna finish rock bottom?
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2005 10:53 amWith the start of the season less than two weeks away, we, meaning LFC fans, are concentrating on the top of the table as per usual, but I thought it was time to spare a thought for those teams facing the drop. And on that subject, who do you think will finish in the No. 20 spot this season. Whose Goose is cooked, whose manacurist will get rich this year and who will be favorites to win the Championship (formerly Division 1, formerly Division 2) in the 06/07 season?
Personally, I think Wigan will meet all the requirements stated above. They haven't bought enough quality, they don't have the resources, the flair, the backing of the local police, the start, the middle, the run in, the ground, the staff, the players, the history or the credentials to get anywhere higher than 20th. At least West Ham and Sunderland are experienced, and the others are established for at least 1 season, and although I would love to see Neverton drop (as well as Man Ure and Chel$ki) I can't see Wigan letting anybody take their seat.
So the long and the short of it is "Who needs
?"
