All 24 clubs for the 2024-25 season have been assessed by the people who know them best, along with predictions over who will be promoted, relegated, the play-off qualifiers, and surprise packages.
A total of four of those asked tipped Pompey to be relegated – and another four, including The News, backed them to be the Championship’s surprise package.
How would you assess Rovers’ work over the summer? Blackburn’s summer has been like London buses. They waited until July 30 to announce their first summer signing and have then proceeded to add three more this week. At the time of writing, Sam Szmodics is a Blackburn Rovers player, but the expectation is that he will join Ipswich. That leaves a massive hole for Rovers to fill.
The investment from Venky’s has been minimal despite the money recouped for Adam Wharton in January. With that in mind, it’s hard to know exactly how much will be reinvested back in. Boss John Eustace is a massive plus. He’s popular amongst the players and is adaptable to suit the opposition. That means Rovers should be quite hard to beat, even if they lack the firepower or star quality to win regularly, with their current team.
Where will they finish? 18th, but all depends on how the window finishes.
