Where will we finish 2016-17

[Deleted Cyber]

Its about time to start thinking about this again ladies and gents! Now we know who our manager , owner and Chairman are for the forseeable we need to start some serious shopping. And I think we will.

Zenga will either be genius or awful. I hope the former. I cant see him bimbling along. We could however be a bit like Watford of 2 years ago and go through a few head coaches in quick time. Who knows. I will strap myself in and try and enjoy the ride. Expect the unexpected seems to be a good stand point so far with Fosun.

I am going top ten with a hope for the play offs. It will depend how strong the squad remains and how quickly new players and coaches gel but doesnt it always. I cant see us hitting the ground running or getting it right so quickly to do a Leicester and so I think auto may be too soon.

What do you think? Dont say its too early to say!. It may be but thats the idea of a prediction poll isnt it!

Well, one of the bookies - Bet365 I think - is offering 2/1 against Zenga seeing out the season. Irrespective of managerial appointments I think we'll chuck enough money at it to do better than last season, but play-offs? I don't think so: there's a huge rebuilding job that needs doing and I think doing it in one season will be too much. 9th or 10th.

top 2

 

[Tony Towner]

Impossible to even guess at this stage. This squad with Jackett in charge, then bottom 6 but staying up. A new squad with Zenga I have no idea.

 

[Parkins left foot]

I have no idea any more as to what is likely to happen

Went to bed at a reasonable time last night & out this morning - come back & we have sacked the manager & appointed a new one (with pages of TWF to catch up on)

Got last years prediction totally wrong so will go with it again - Playoffs!!

 

[StuardoWulf]

Im going play offs due to a probable slow start.

 

[Hamlet]

Without knowing Zenga's style of play this is just a blind guess but I've always been optimistic - Top 6

 

[Siggy]

I'm going to say 5th or 4th I think the early part of the season will be tough as we adjust to new tactics and players. Top 8 by Christmas then a strong finish to the season.

Manager I know nothing about, a mediocre squad that is being replaced by players I know nothing about. I'd say we will finish somewhere between 1st -24th - Willing to reevaluate that prediction in September,

 

[fizzwolf]

Top 6 for me. Will Zenga prove as stubborn as KJ - I doubt anybody would be that dense in persisting with something that simply doesn't work

 

[Aikiwolf]

With FOSUNs backing we should win the league, however I'm not inspired by the new manager (potentially KJ would have been a better choice good Ben his track record in his first two seasons).

However, I still think we will achieve the playoffs as if we aren't up there with a third of the season gone I think we may see a new (championship experienced?) manager brought in.

 

[thehistorymakers]

It is hard to say, until we know who the other new signings are going to be. However, at the moment I have gone for top 10.

 

[Freddeno]

A bit early to tell ,but with ambitions i would say top 6..

 

[The Bear]

Impossible to say until the window closes.

 

[Crossy_Wanderer]

Gone for the playoffs with the caveat that if we're in the top 6 come january the support from Fosun (money) and the support from the stands could propell us into the the top 2.

 

[Boozad]

Fuck knows.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

I voted top ten, but if there had been a "No Idea" button i would have pressed that.

 

[jd1981]

Very much a case of how long is a piece of string, I've gone for top 10 because there's simply to much to sort out with the season already here. Given time for things to settle down I can see results improving.

 

[arklowolf]

I'm voting bottom half. Until there are some worthwhile additions to the squad , that's where we will finish. I hope the new manager will make those additions and we storm the league. We need to spend a fortune to do that.

 

[Loki]

Depending on how many players we bring in how long does it take for a team to gel? Who will have the ultimate say on who we bring in? Will the manager have to develop a playing style around said players? Will the existing squad play for a place or give up and wait for the axe to fall? I`m a glass half empty man at the moment, mid table mediocrity.
