Definately Danny!
Hate teams who try and buy their way to titles...Blackburn, Chelsea, Man City!
Yeah because this season we'll be playing a team entirely made up of youth teamers and free transfers of course?!

Wise words, Chappers.God I hope they f*** it up.
Leicester look the best bet for promotion. They've got money to spend, a deep squad, good stadium AND other rivals like Leeds, Boro, Cardiff, West Ham and Forest seem to be selling or treading water.
£15 million wisely spent could get any of these sides in the Prem, but it's only Leicester that seem to have access to those resources or can afford the wages. Given the parachute payments and untold riches to be had, not least because of the developing Far East markets, it's a sign of the times more Championship chairman aren't able to have a punt.
What's the Plan B though - if Leicester are not in & around the top 6 come April expect some drastic action.......
What isn't so clear is what the Plan B is.
Were has this money come from all of a sudden, they have a pre season home game against the mighty Real Madrid.
They have signed Nugent, Kasper Schmeichel, Neil Danns, Sean St Ledger and Lee Peltier
Just made a bid of £5mill for Matt Mills of Reading.
They got to be favs to win the league this year.

I don't agree. I genuinely think Leicester will finish behind both Albion and Southampton, who both have settled - and decent - sides. I tend to agree with Ernest - I wouldn't trust Eriksson with building a proper team these days. If Micky Adams' brand of football is 20 years out of date, then Sven's brand of packing midfield, and slowing down the game is itself 10 years of date. Football has moved on.I very much feel that they are our Southampton this season. I think by the end of the season they will be a great team and probably go up but the amount of signings they are making will mean that the team won't gel for a while. It is therefore crucial we get a good headstart like we did over Saints last year.
