Seems pretty conclusive so far. Perhaps I'm being pessimistic but currently we've got a weaker squad and the same manager so promotion doesn't seem likely, certainly not automatically.
I think if we are to go up this year, it will be more Fulham style. Remember they were about 12th in December before storming the second half of the year.
My view is the new ownership will use the first few months to stabilise things off the pitch e.g. make sure we're on track to make FFP commitments and also sort out the CEO position.
They will have banked on SB keeping us around 8th-10th and so 4-5 points off top 6 with 25 games left. It is still a pretty good first 11 at this level after all.
Then a change at xmas as there will obviously be a run of 1 win in 7-8 games at some stage as that's happened in our two seasons under SB.
I would be surprised if that's at the start as we have a pretty kind opening run of 10 fixtures.
