I agree, watching these Brentford and Swansea teams just now, they’re awful compared to Watford and Bmuff, even now. PL funded of course.
If they keep the vast majority of their squads, they’ll probably be there or thereabouts next season.
Bmuff will bounce back up imho. They’ll lose a couple more players, but Howe is a decent coach and man manager, team spirit will be fine and the owner isn’t afraid of spending big.
Norwich - they’ve a good youth system. Top half rebuilding.
Watford - the Pozzo’s will do anything to get back...
