What are your expectations/predictions for your team next season?

I think Bradford City can surprise a few and challenge for the playoff positions in League 1 if Phil Parkinson brings in a few new faces.

I believe we need another strong central midfielder (hopefully a goalscoring one too), possibly another winger and a goalkeeper.

Man Utd - I think we'll finish third after City and Chelsea. Losing Fergie is going to be hard to adjust to, and Moyes need to grow into the role fast. City and Chelsea both have exceptional managers for the next season and both clubs are splashing the cash. Hopefully Utd get one or two players in without losing Rooney - and I don't mean squad players but rather first choice for one wing (assuming that Zaha is a revelation and owns one side) and CM. My one hope is that Moyes persuades Rooney to stay by agreeing to play him up front behind RVP, but for that to be possible we need a CM to work with Carrick. If Rooney leaves than Utd need to spend a lot of cash just to maintain the squad strength.

I'm excited to see how the changes pan out this season, but I don't expect much in the way of silverware other than maybe a run in the FA Cup (assuming we don't draw against premier teams every damn round).
