Finally, well...
In: Antoine Sibierski, Titus Bramble, Mario Melchiot, Andreas Granqvist, Carlo Nash, Jason Koumas, Michael Brown
Out: Leighton Baines, Lee McCulloch, Matt Jackson, Arjan de Zeeuw, David Unsworth, Andreas Johansson
Tells a lot. Losing their best players, bringing in utter dump. Melchiot and Bumble will bring back strong memories of The Chuckle Brothers at Newcastle. Sibierski is going to be their top striker. Koumas is totally unproven at this level.
In summary, Paul Jewell is a manager I've never really liked, but keeping Bradford and Wigan up points to him having something. Which Chris Hutchings destroys in the next season. His "trick" of virtually relegating Bradford after 11 matches and 7 points looks like being repeated here. He seems to have absolutely no idea about which players are any use in the Premier League. I have no belief that I will have egg on my face with this one.
PREDICTION - 20th
