15th if Rafa stays, relegated if the fat f*ck drives him oot.
Judging by what I've seen in pre-season and trying to more or less gauge the progress of the new signings as well as ( hopefully) the emergence of a stronger mindset and physical/technical showing from the porcelain dolls ( Aarons/deJong, etc) then my heart tells me 10th to 12th and my head tells me 14th to 15th.
I sincerely hope that we get shocked with a couple of top signings...or one striker at least and we manage to play way above our reckoning and finish inside the top 10.
Wishful thinking but not beyond miracles.
442 mag has us finishing 11th.
Edit: Here is pic of there prediction.

Looking at that table, it has a sort of championship look about it.
It just doesn't resemble what a premier league table would normally look like when you see the teams outside of the usual top few.
Apart from our name being lower down when it shouldn't, of course. (biased).
looking at last season's table, the positions from 8th - 20th can be taken in any order at all.
whether it be attitude, luck, hard work or the quality of the manager / team ethic.
I'm not suggesting we can finish ad high as 8th (far from it) but I'm hoping to finish somewhere between 10th/14th without squeaky bum time being an issue.
If we get a decent striker in I think we will finish mid table.We have goals from both wings with reserve back up,Merino looks a good DM and Lejuene a ball playing CB.I don't think we will be in a relegation battle.
i'm still unvaiveringly convinced we'll finish 12th to 14th
I reckon if we can entice Messi and Ronaldo to come here for a combined 3.8 billion with wages of 2 million a week each, then not only will it be a transfer record double for us but we will have arguably the two best players in the world who came here for a new challenge that wasn't money orientated.
This would then encourage all other top players to come here for similar transfer fees and wages and thus ensuring that we actually have a better than average chance of winning the league and cups, including the champions league the following season.
18th. Expecting a spell of turmoil and chaos ending in relegation.
