I'm sure the bookies will again make QPR one of the favourites (if not this time, the prohibitive favourite). But that would be based more on QPR's "potential" given the money of our owners.
With the constant changing in coaches, the Paladini factor and the "involvement" in the ownership, I'd say we actually have to do more than normal just to get a promotion team together.
So I guess in the next 3-4 months, we'll have a much better idea of how we'll do: When we see who we appoint as manager. And how much we actually spend on players. And the type of player we're signing. Then we'll have a better idea.
- Although, never can really predict: Don't think Burnley were one of the touted teams. Or that Charlton were forecast for relegation.

Perhaps it isn't whether we get promotion that matters, Report, but what difference we think promotion makes.
In the last 10 years, 23 different Clubs have won promotion from this 24-team league. Several have repeated the feat - Sunderland twice, West Brom twice, Watford, Manchester City and Birmingham - but none of them have gone on to great things, and none of them seem to be any different to the Club they were before.
Difficult to see how it could be otherwise when the only way of achieving a quick change of fortunes is to spend tens of millions of tomorrow's revenue without knowing what tomorrow's revenue will be.
Is there a vast pool of free money just waiting for them all? Why should there be if there isn't one now?
And if Clubs are borrowing heavily, how much more heavily will they be obliged to borrow in the future, with their debts to service on top of ever more expensive wages and costs.
Indeed, there are already reports that Liverpool have missed several repayments on their soaring debt. And they're one of the better sides, I'm told, though little more than also-rans in the One Club Premiership.
