Predictions 07/08 Season Tottenham - Matt
We have already had a major debate over this in the clan

, providing the Spurs researcher keeps up to his promise of increasing the Tottenham bank balance even Mr. Hooker would admit his team are in prime position to finish the season in top place out of the human teams. Partly I'm basing this on how well Matt done with his Osasuna team in our Football Manager 07 game and partly to do with the team Tottenham start off with at the start of the game.
Premiership position: 5th Key player: Berbatov Everton - Danny
Everton start off with a strong team but after already playing the demo with them I have realized that a couple of injuries really affect the team, a good transfer budget of 8 million for a mid table finish will help with building up the squad but one eye has to be kept on the finances with the crippling 50 million loan. I have a big named striker in mind but if I can't sign that player I will invest in youth for want will hopefully be a bright future for Everton.
Premiership position: 6th Key player: Arteta Man City - Dave
So far I have been impressed with the Manchester City team both in the demo and in real life (apart from the Chelsea game). Big Dave Williams has three of the best young players in the game in the shape of Richards, Onuoha and Sturridge add to this a healthy bank balance and the impressive Elano there manager can look forward to a good future providing he keeps his job, which has been a problem in other clan games

.
Premiership position: 7th Key player: Elano Aston Villa - Marc
Marc always creates weird looking formation that work a treat but then has a habit to change that winning formation which backfires. With some good youngsters in the team already and the best starting off transfer budget Villa will be a team to watch this season.
Premiership position: 8th Key player: Barry Newcastle - Andy
Probably got one of the best picks out of everyone as Newcastle have a lot going for them they have just been taken over by a man that will put money into the club and have a massive stadium. Add to this they also have Owen and Martins up front but weather Andy can get them working together in the same formation will be a different thing. If the new manager can add a couple of decent defenders then Newcastle will be a team to beat.
Premiership position: 9th Key player: Owen Portsmouth - Demi
Another team that has big bucks to spend to add to an already class team, Demi proved at Real Madrid once he had the funds he knew a good player or two but at Pompey I'm sure he will not be able to attract the same class of player.
Premiership position: 10th Key player: Muntari West Ham - Carly
The main thing you can count on with Carl is there will be a lot of transfer activity each and every summer. The Hammers start with a good budget and lots of players to sell to raise more funds so I'm sure the manager was more than happy to get the job. Each season the players need time to gel so I can see a slow start of Carl this year but hopefully he learn from his old mistakes and give his squad time to settle before he sells them on. He found out the hard way at Betis spending 500 million

doesn't buy you a trophy.
Premiership position: 11th Key player: Green Blackburn - David
with having on eye on Europe and not exactly have the biggest squad this may be a problem for David but his already proven he is a good manager after the fine job he done at Villarreal. With Gamst, McCarthy and Derbyshire in the team Blackburn have the class to pull of a few surprises along the way but one of David's first jobs as the new manager will be too lower the age of the squad.
Premiership position: 12th Key player: Gamst Reading - Justin
I played the demo a few times so far and the one thing that always happened was Reading were in the top 8th by the end of December, they seem slightly overrated by the researcher which can only be a good thing for our new member. Justin is the unknown element of the clan so it hard to guess where he finish but he talks a good game and hopefully he prove to be a good addition to the clan.
Premiership position: 13th Key player: Lita Middleborough - Rick
El **** head himself

, it will depend how much time Rick spends down the pub over the course of the game as to how his team fairs. He came close to turning the corner a few times with Deportivo but then would miss a session and be back to square one. Boutly proved last time he can scout a good player and credit must go to him by finding Parkinson and a number of good South Americas, so with the Chairman backing the manager could turn them into a force.
Premiership position: 14th Key player: Woodgate Sunderland - Gary
Gary has one of the hardest jobs in the clan keeping Sunderland in the Premiership and if will have to do better than he did in Valencia. I'm going to tip them for relegation but hopefully I will be proven wrong but looking at the team I don't see enough class in the team for them to stay up, also I'm sure Gary will sign more Scottish players will not help his cause.
Premiership position: 18th Key player: Gordon Bolton - Simon
An old ageing team with only a couple of good players in Anelka and Nolan so again I can only see a season ending in relegation but if Razor can get a formation that get EL Sulk scoring then maybe there is hope. With Hardly no money it might be a good thing as it save the old boy wasting money on crap players like Bo storm like he did at Valencia.
