I want Brentford to go up and Bournemouth to survive. Reason? We have (or at least had) very good relationships with both those clubs (geographically very accessible too) when it came to loan players. If they’re in the same division, not sure that would work as well.
Bournemouth to stay up have no problems with them...
Brentford to go up, love the football they play..
Villa to come down (terry is a racist c#nt)..
Watford to come due to the joke owners
It's a win-win-win for us whoever comes down really: trip to Villa Park (my favourite ground after Adams Park), local derby with Watford, or trip to the seaside. All assuming we're allowed.
And yes, Brentford to go up for the above reasons.

They look pretty formidable. But then so do Bournemouth!
Formidable? Both have barely averaged a goal a game.
The more serious worry, is that Bournemouth have already apparently agreed a 35m sale of Ake. There's bound to be a couple more sales, meaning they come in with the massive parachute payments, massive transfer fund, and won't now loan us Ofoborh!

They'll still be on massively reduced income, huge wage bill, possibly with players who don't want to be there. It's always tricky for clubs that come down as you can't choose who will bid for which players and when.
After today's games in the Premier League the teams in next season's Championship are the following:
AFC Bournemouth
Barnsley
Birmingham City
Blackburn Rovers
Bristol City
Coventry City
Derby County
Huddersfield Town
Luton Town
Middlesbrough
Millwall
Norwich City
Nottingham Forest
Preston North End
Queens Park Rangers
Reading
Rotherham United
Sheffield Wednesday
Stoke City
Watford
Wycombe Wanderers
The first Championship playoff leg, Swansea City vs Brentford is being played right now with Cardiff City vs Fulham tomorrow.
I bet Bournemouth players are not on massive wages. Parachute payments will mean they will hang on to a lot of their players for the next season at least. I reckon they will be a force. Not sure about the madhouse that is Watford but I think Norwich will also.bounce back quite strongly. I hope we play them all early when they are still shocked and dont know what they are going to get with Wycombe yet!

I think you'll be quite shocked at the wages even tiny clubs like Bournemouth pay in the premier league!

Last thing I read about their wage bill was an increase from circa 70 million to about 100 million off the top of my head

Huddersfield got a £42m parachute payment last year so Bournemouth will get at least that.
Ake is reported to be going to Man City for £35m, they turned down £25m from Man Utd for King and Brooks is also valued at £25m plus there will be demand for Callum Wilson. They are not in imminent financial trouble and in fact will be splashing the cash to replace those leaving.
Norwich are financially stable so should be ok. Watford are the team that could implode financially and end up doing a Sunderland, particularly when an average player like Deeney is on £100k per week.

Yeah, to be in the same league as Villa would be unreal
And if we can get really greedy be nice to play Watford again as well. We've all got mates who support them I'm sure

I'm with @micra .... personally would prefer Brentford up and safety for Bournemouth
Villa and Watford for me.

Bournemouth will surely come down, but we could do with them staying up to get Ofoborh back on loan.
1-0 Bournemouth!
2-1 Bournemouth ! Minute to half time.
Come on you Hammers.
This is lovely, watching the final day of the Premiership and it mattering to us.

Bournemouth and Watford then
Can see Bournemouth walking the Championship next season. We might have to settle for runner up!!

And we will still have lower billing on 3CR than Exeter
All because Hawk-Eye screwed up

I'm not sure the reduced income will significantly affect the owner of Bournemouth @Malone. He is reportedly worth £900m!

I think it's @StrongestTeam who mentioned reduced income.
I was pointing out that with parachute payments and a huge amount of sales, they'll take a heck of a lot of competing with.
Nice to see "enjoy Wycombe away" trending on Twitter.
Playing us is the benchmark for how low clubs have sunk, apparently. Long may we be underestimated.

Ignore it's the sun...

It is slightly annoying listening to 'Land of our fathers' continually during this play off game. I like the song but you can have too much
Sorry Mr Malone.
It's great listening to Mick McCarthy
