Excluding the Albion from this, who would you expect to be promoted by right next season?

Fulham and Derby for me - the Premiership doesn't have enough teams playing in white shirts and black shorts. :annoyed:

Derby have the class to maintain this season's momentum and Magath is good enough to take Fulham straight back up.

Just Derby.

Can't see any of the relegated teams being Top 2, and you told me to exclude us.

We could struggle next year. We have so many players to replace. I have lost count now. Hopefully Burke can sign some good players. Upson and Ward were brilliant for us.

Derby definitely aren't certs. They will lose key players they had on loan and perhaps a couple of others. Look at what happened to Watford.

Surprised the amount of people saying Derby, think they'll suffer from a play off hang over. Norwich and Cardiff.

It would be easier to make a predicition, if we knew full squads for the new season; but at the moment Cardiff and Derby, I suppose.

Norwich.

Unlike the vast majority of Premiership teams, almost their entire recruitment process since getting promoted has involved hand-picking the championships best players over the pas few years. They'll more than likely start the season with Becchio and Hooper up front.

Snodgrass, Pilkington, Howson, Johnson, Nathan Redmond, Elliot Bennett, Wes Hoolahan. All of whom proved themselves as some of the best players in this league recently. Backed up by Leroy Fer (Dutch international), and Alex Tettey.

I think that it will be a very difficult division next years with about 10 teams who could well win the division. Norwich Fulham Cardiff,Middlesbro, Derby Forest, Blackburn Leeds Reading and us plus there will be an unexpected dark horse there usually is. Much too difficult to narrow it down to 2 teams.

I think Leeds might do something.

Really?

There's so much turmoil behind the scenes I think they could implode, unless your meaning of doing something was relegation.

Cellino is in court in October for alleged tax avoidance, a rift between cellino and previous owners GFH with allegations of mismanagement resulting in cellino wanting to renegotiate his payment, the ex MD of Leeds arrested last week in Dubai, supposedly losing a £1m a month, temporary closure of their training ground and redundancies issued for some staff including I think the co sec.

It seems they have some serious problems.
