His record doesn't look that great but all Swansea fans seem to rate Potter really highly. Think their squad was tiny when he went in and wasn't given any money and brought through the youth

I’m just surprised Brighton have gone for that Jokanovic style after what happened with Fulham last season which I said would happen.

 

How well will that bottom 5 team transition to such an opposite style?

 

How good will Duffy and Dunk do having to play high?

 

Mathew Ryan and Duffy are the last people you would want to be playing extra passes at the back the way Potter demands.

 

Honestly can’t see that big transition going well especially as the transition is so big.

 

I think Brighton will be 18th/17th only because Sheff U and Norwich will get even more slaughtered next season :lol:

Based on what?

 

Based on the likely 3 teams coming up :thup:

 

Norwich can’t even defend in the Championship and won’t spend enough.

 

And Sheff Utd although play a similar system that has been successful for Wolves and us in the Premier League just don’t have the players to cope with the Premier League.

 

Add Brighton with next seasons Jokanovic and the likes of Bournemouth if they lose Fraser will be big strugglers next season.

 

I think Southampton will be the ones to do well next season under a full season of Hasenhuttl who has midtable form since joining.

 

Bottom 5

16th Bournemouth/Brighton/Villa

17th Brighton/Villa/Bournemouth

18th Villa/Brighton/Bournemouth

19th Sheff Utd

20th Norwich

 

Derby will get slaughtered if they come up though.

I don't think anyone at this stage can predict who will be relegated next. Everyone will change their squads and in our case probably change our manager as well which you could argue would make us big favourites to get relegated. When Huddersfield got promoted most people thought they would be comfortably relegated, but they survived and Cardiff were also expected to finish with a record low points total this season. I wouldn't be making any assumptions about the ability from next seasons promoted clubs.

Quote mine at the end of next season :thup:

 

I got Fulham bang on before they even kicked a ball in the Premier League while everyone was saying they’d be Top half with their spend.

 

The only one I was wrong on was Watford but Gracia was coming in as a total unknown.

You predicted that one of the promoted clubs would go down? You are a remarkable sage, sir.

 

You'll be telling me next that you thought Man City would win the title.

Come on everyone had Fulham top half with their spending spree :lol:

 

No they didn't.  Prove it.

I can prove I didn't, if that counts - I picked them for 16th https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=100561.msg6988321#msg6988321

Don’t worry I’ll be gone with Rafa soon :snod:

 

You can all ENJOY watching 70 goals go in our net next season with Eddie Howe.

 

I won’t be watching us be Skysports entertainment next season.

 

We will get more thumpings next season under Eddie Howe than I would if we did a Forum meet up :lol:

 

Gallowgate End, the general opinion, and one which I share, is that are talking complete garbage. Nothing personal......

 

So apparently becuase I have a different opinion on a small subject and apparently don’t offer any “Contributive” posts.. :lol:

 

“Gallowgate End,

 

You have received a warning for non-contributive posts.

 

Please cease these activities and abide by the forum rules otherwise we will take further action.

 

Regards,

The Newcastle-Online Team”

 

The truth is I post about a whole range of football subjects without any issue on 95% of them but a different opinion on Eddie Howe is worthy of a ban and means I don’t contribute on other subjects to the forum ???

 

I think the reaction to warn for me for it is very over the top considering 95% of my posts don’t involve a disagreement about Eddie Howe.

 

Anyway I won’t mention Eddie if talking about him on here is that big of a issue I honestly thought everyone was having a laugh about it :lol:

 

Bit laughable to take it serious but I will respect the no Eddie Howe posts warning :thup:

 

I’ll try to contribute for once because none of my other posts do apparently.

 

Absolute bollocks, that. Whoever sent you that needs to have a word with themselves. Your opinion , however wrong it may be, doesn’t deserve a fucking warning. Disgraceful modding as ever from the NO mafia.

Thought he would go more into football administration than management.

 

Player manager's don't work imo.

Kompany is the new player-manager of Anderlecht. Very interesting.

 

No idea how he will do tactically or coaching wise but as a character in interviews and as a leader he always comes across incredibly well so he has a good starting point.

 

Hope he does well :thup:

Would have thought Player-Coach/Assistant would work better at first but fair play.

 

Will he actually end up playing himself though? He'd likely be their best defender but he can't really manage on the pitch
