Obviously the close season wheeling and dealing hasn't finished, with pre-season just starting.
It may be one or two teams clinch a signing that could change our thinking.
As for the most successful team - what would be classed as successful?
Obviously each team has it's own goals and aspirations that differ from others.
Touching on Gateshead - I am worried not all of the players Mills has brought in, are up to the standard needed to gain promotion.
Still have no idea why Magnay went.
The fact he has ended up at Grimsby, shows how he is highly regarded elsewhere.
The experience that Lester brought in on signing in January, would have been invaluable.
There isn't anyone of his ilk, to have signed.
Although Shaw has goals in him, Lewis Guy and the other striker - haven't really done it at a higher level in the several hundred games they have between them.
Rodman did impress me in the two games against Grimsby, so hopefully he can show his class.
Newcastle - they have signed a lot of players. Just hope it doesn't end in disaster. It could take them a while to settle in and Man City are first game up.
Sunderland - Are their purchases Premier League class?
Time will tell.
Boro - goodness knows...
Hartlepool - last season was a mixed bag and Hignett leaving led to a downturn in results. From pushing a Play Off Spot in early Feb, results tailed off and relegation was a possibility until the end of the season. I don't know much about their new signings, but they will miss Monkhouse and Barmby.
Luke James looks a decent player and can hopefully bag a few goals.
My predictions/comments on the season just gone.
Even though I didn't commit to predicting league finishes, the other comments seem about right.
How did others do with theirs?
