This is true, but I just feel Norwich have the most winnable game. Perhaps I'm wrong but the baggies are seemingly on their holidays (although they decided to wake up for us) and it's at home and Hooters should have them up for it.

When I hear of a team in trouble now, I take it to mean they're in danger of slipping out of the top flight this year, which is why I was surprised to see you talk about QPR and Reading that way. They may be in trouble next season, but that's next season. For now, their troubles are over, in the worst way possible.
Yeah, that's the bit I was getting at. In terms of finances, depending on whether the financial fair play rules will ever have any effect (doubt it) half the teams in English football are in some financial trouble!
