All these bookies who don't realise that Coyle is totally clueless eh. How foolish of them.

It feels like Leicester have been favourites for years. They don't worry me at all.

Last season of the three clubs relegated from the Premier only West Ham got back at the first attempt and even then only via the play offs. They also had the biggest budget in the division - so big budget does not necessarily mean instant promotion like some think.

Birmingham are in a financial mess and lost the divisions best manager in Chris Hughton so I'd be surprised, even with their parachute payment, that they will challenge this coming season.

I’m never convinced about Holloway but fair play to him he got Blackpool into the play offs but I doubt he will do it again.

Blackburn's future depends on what Venky's plan to do - so as long as they keep control and don't invest I can't see Blackburn really challenging at the top.

Wolves however are a different matter - their success depends on how quickly their Norwegian manager susses out Championship football - I'm fairly sure they will be up there at the end of the season.

Leicester have spent a lot and under achieved so far but I think they will be challenging this time around.

Cardiff have got new owners and some money to play with, so I think they will challenge too.

I think Boro under Mowbray will be up there too.

Leeds can never be written off and whether you like him or not Warnock is a smart manager.

Charlton dominated the third division last year but I don’t think they will find it so easy at this level.

As for Bolton we should mount a challenge but I have serious doubts about Coyle’s ability. Yes I know he got Burnley up but he’s been found out as a one trick pony – 4-4-2 attack, with no plan B or a decent defensive plan.

A lot of hopes are being pinned on Holden and Lee but what if they aren’t the same after their lay offs – and even if they are will they be sold in January?

I don’t think we will win automatic promotion and I fear that a season of Coyle’s lack of any form of footballing nous will catch up with us in the last month or so of the run in.

I’d be happy to be proved wrong though but either way we certainly will be no where near 100 points at the end of the season.

That’s all from Mystic Sluffy!

Unfortunately I guarantee that it won't be a capacity crowd even if you bring 3,900.

I'd say about 18,000.

Sorry, I just thought Burnley fans would be keen to get one over Coyle.

Its worse than that as there are only 5 teams in The Championship that have never played in The Premier League!!!

Is it not six? Brighton, Bristol City, Cardiff, Huddersfield, Millwall and Peterbrough (7 if you include Burnley, who only played half a season).

It is 6 - my mistake as Millwall were in Division 1 just before it became the Premiership/Premier League - plus they were in the UEFA cup for the 2004/5 season!

On this Burnley forum they're still distraught about losing Coyley. It's a case of - " To boo or not to boo?" or "To wave your snotty hankie in the air or not?"

Some dude called Fatboy47 still can't get over the fat kit bloke scarpering as well:

"It was followed by a cynical attempt to disable our club by clearing out all the staff he could.. (can anyone really suggest he took SD/SS and the fat kit bloke to Bolton on merit??)"

The fat kit bloke is his brother in law. So guess he wasn't given a job at Burnley on merit either.

Isn't Burnley twinned with Srebrenica ?
