I agree! The Premiership is getting more and more about revenue which is why many are falling out of love with football as there's no loyalty any more to the shirt. Strangely enough, I am looking forward to the Championship and going to smaller packed in grounds for more action and more banter with the fans.

In terms of who will challenge for the top six - I have not got a clue, as this will depend on which side keeps the best squad/adds decent additions, and starts with a bit of luck. I hope with do not have your financial problems, but nothing would surprise me. I hope we get rid of the mercenaries though and hope Barry and Chadli are next to go!
