Can't see Doyle getting a move to an EPL club. He hasn't scored in months and has been played on the wing for many of his games, which just isn't his position. He's in bad form at the moment in a poor side, really hope Reading stay up, otherwise I can see Doyle in the Championship next season.
If Reading do go down, I could see Hunt getting a move back to the EPL, probably with Sunderland, the way things are going!
i reckon doyle would be snapped up, hunt defiintly to sunderland. If fulham stay up hodgson should be given freedon of london, that would be a real escape, nobody gave them any hope of gettin a win between now and the end of season.Quote:

Reading and Birmingham will probably join Derby in the Championship. It's a pity as both teams have great players and great managers. Certainly the likes of James McFadden, Liam Ridgewell, Stephen Hunt and Kevin Doyle will be snapped up. I can't see the managers staying either.
Reading have no one to blame but themselves for their relegation. While everyone else was out spending money, Steve Coppell was at home twiddling his thumbs.
Fair play to Fulham, they looked doomed but Hodgson has come in and finally got them playing good football.
Funny ridgewell was the one Bormingham player I've seen consistently make mistakes the past few months. Not saying he's brutal, just that I remember him more for good than for bad.
Reading are away to Derby on the last day of the season. Obviously that game could have a huge say on who stays up.
On what basis do you think Kevin DOyle will be snapped up? Certainly not on his scoring record this season.Quote:

Watched most of the game to see what Derby were like. Had seen their record obviously, but none of their games. Dear God, but they were shambolic at the back. The second goal was unreal - not one player following up a rebound. Basic stuff. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go down next year too. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see UCD take them!
What on earth happened to City?!
Hodgson showed how good a manger he is in the last few weeks and had them playing good football too. Top class manager in my view and while we have got a great manager I am even more convinced now that he would have been a great Ireland manager.
I think Fulham may have qualified for Europe through the fair play. :eek:
Is it still not City despite the red card for Dunne
Other stuff like fans' behaviour comes into it, as well as cards. Here's the table with two games left to play. I think Fulham may have just nicked it.Quote:

I'd love to see Fulham nick it. I've tremendous respect for Hodgson for digging them out of this mess. Is this the best Premiership escape ever? I know the 04/05 escape by West Brom was impressive but I feel Fulham looked even more dead and buried closer to the season's end.
They had a feature in yesterday's Irish Times on it. West Ham last year, Bradford in 2002, Coventry in 96, Oldham in 92 and Luton in 83 were mentioned. Though it'd be hard to beat Dunfermline winning all their last six games in the early 60s to stay up by a point. They'd appointed a new young manager for the last six games, Jock Stein.
I'm delighted for Fulham! If it weren't for their terrible luck with injuries they would never have been in this mess. Thrilled to bits for them!!:ball:
