Checking in.

We do not deserve to be favourites, 3/4 of our squad will be turned over and we don't know who our manager will be.

 

[SM]

I'd have Southampton as favourites, Martin is a very good manager.

 

[DEVO]

The Carlisle faithful will be doing a lot of travelling this season, we look very lonely on that map, the only club in the far North.

I've never wanted a season to start again as quickly as I want this one too.

When does the Championship normally start again? Early August?

Fixture's out in a couple of weeks I think and then I think the season is a week before the PL from memory. Maybe mid-August?

Too early for favourites as no idea how the three relegated teams will look like. Southampton have a big advantage with a manager already in place.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Ahem!

 

[Dirty Bird]

Ahem!

Better - But still 2 more tiers to go

Do we talk about lower level womens leagues here?

We might be tier 7 in the mens.
But we won the league in the womens this year.

Up to tier 4 next year and get to play the likes of Hull, Leeds, Middlesborough etc.

The most exciting thing to say about AFC Wimbledon is apparently it's not time to panic.


No big fire sale - that's been done already.
No all-in signings - I mean who's got the cash for that?
No bold claims or a rash change of direction,


No, if anyone needs us we'll just be sitting over here in the corner, waiting for the worm to turn.

Coventry first up is a tasty fixture for us.

Coventry first up is a tasty fixture for us.

Well Coventry have been knocked out in the 1st Round four of the last six seasons, so you'd have to fancy your chances.

We've got them in the League first up, we've got Burton in the Cup.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you were an AFC Wimbledon fan.

Will be interesting to see how Enzo Maresca goes as manager. You'll be hoping he turns out like other Guardiola assistants like Xavi and Arteta!

I'm fascinated to say the least. He doesn't have a lot of experience managing by himself but he certainly has learnt from some very astute football minds.

How far away is this from having the club wound up?

I've always been a bit surprised that clubs in and around London, wouldn't attract pretty good owners. I get Reading are a smaller club but I always though being located around would have to be a very large advantage.
