A few weeks later and it is back, the football season is back. After the World Cup and all the hype surrounding it, regular football is back and this season is set to be one of the greatest. Managers all around the EFL began plotting life in the Football League. In the Championship, the landscape has pretty much changed with the arrival of Marco Bielsa as the new Leeds Manager. His reputation goes before him as one of the games most heralded managers and with that comes his extravagant formations and tactics. It will be very interesting to see how Leeds fare this season and they have shown their mettle by signing Barry Douglas from Wolves followed by the signing of Patrick Bamford from Middlesbrough. Aston Villa are another team who are favourites for promotion but with FFP rules somewhat scuppering the plans and also interest in Jack Grealish, it could have a huge bearing on where Villa finish this season. It looked like this season would start of badly as it was widely reported that the clubs new owners would look to get rid of Steve Bruce but those rumours were quashed, so now Steve Bruce can look forward to the new season. 1 / 3 Of all the relegated teams coming down you can look no further than Stoke City.
