Don't think there's a thread but if there is, merge away...

The Burnley managerial race has taken an unexpected turn with both Lampard and Parker being mentioned. If they go with Lamps then that's a brave choice...
 
Always a good competitive league but with the odds usually favouring the teams relegated from the PL as shown by Leicester, Southampton and Leeds all finishing in the top 4. However, not sure that will be the case with Sheff Utd, Burnley or Luton. Leeds will be favourites but not sure how many players they will have to offload this summer. The top 6 could be anybody.
 
So long as Mark Robbins doesn't get tempted away by Chelsea, Brighton, Manu or England, it's got to be Coventry + two others : )

Parker would be a decent appointment for them I think, provided it’s no more than 2 years as he could help get them up before throwing his toys out the pram. I’d certainly take him over Lampard who seems to stand on his reputation as a player more than a manager (is that fair?) Feel really sorry for Argyle fans though having Rooney parachuted into their club - did they not speak to Birmingham?
 
Our first ever game in the Premier League was actually nine years ago yesterday.
And still, football follower’s will ask me, ‘when are you going back to where you belong’?
At what point will we be considered as belonging in the EPL?

I'd say there are only about 10 clubs who you could truly say "belong" in the EPL.

The two Manchesters, Liverpool and Everton, the four big London teams (Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham), Newcastle and Villa. That's about it, I'd say.

Teams like AFCB, Brighton, Brentford...I think we'd have to spend decades in the top flight and actually win things before we could be regarded as part of the EPL furniture.

And of course we would also have to build an EPL quality stadium before we could be taken entirely seriously by the establishment.

Surely world famous Forest should be on your list?
 
Don't think the first 3 words are necessary David. From the ones I've met Sunderland and Wednesday fans have a better grasp of the difference between the past, present and future than Leeds and Nottsers : )
