Tan has been investing in the academy for a few years now. maybe he sees this season as an opportunity to really bed in a team of mostly home grown youngsters,hence the appointment of BBM.

as for where we will finish, I don't know how people can say "it looks like mid table at best" I have no idea how strong we will be next season and I don't know how anyone else can with any confidence either.
there's clearly a big difference between league one and the championship, you only have to look at the players who have played in both leagues.
we could very easily be mid table l, we could also be pretty strong if we start to click.
