Fosun group rolls in wads of cash - those guys are huge in their industry.

David Moyes set to replace Allardyce at Sunderland.

That is a fantastic signing by Sunderland

Sunderland continuing the trend of signing Man United scrubs

Steve Bruce has quit Hull City...


Why did he do that? Strange.

He's favourite for the Sunderland job lmfao.

I'm trying not to laugh....

Thought Moyes was favourite.

Moyes officially Sunderland manager.

I can certainly understand clashes with ownership leading to a departure of the manager. However, this seems somewhat irresponsible from Bruce. He's seriously jeopardized the future of the club and the squad that he had assembled by leaving them without a manager only a few weeks before the beginning of the new season, after being promoted no less.

Depending on the new manager, they surely must be favorites for relegation, now.

I am deeply offended that Pardew's name is not included in the thread description.

Sounds reasonable.

But my honest prediction would be this, for the moment:

1. City
2. Chelsea
3. Arsenal (can finish 2nd or win the title if they buy a top class striker)
4. Manchester United
5. Spurs/Liverpool (these two can easily finish top 4)

Regarding Leicester, I can't say anything, very unpredictable. Everything's hard to predict, though.

I can't decide between City and Chelsea for the title. I go with City because I think they have a better squad.

I have higher expectations for the 2nd season from Mourinho.

1. Chelsea
2. City
3. Man Utd
4. Spurs
5. Arsenal
6. Liverpool

We're not signing anyone else this window, so this year will be the year

1. Chelsea
2. Arsenal
3. United
4. City
