That is a stinkingly difficult August.

Any newly promoted club arrives playing out of its skin with a healthy away backing.

Brum home on Boxing Day not exactly an attractive fixture.

Could be finishing with three relegation six pointers...

It is what it is. West Brom might have a hangover from the play-offs and a new squad to bed in. There's logic behind it being better to play the favourites early. Fulham another unknown under new inexperienced management. No reason to believe that they will be particularly strong next season yet.

Brum at home will be another Waggott Category A game.

Opening day mouthwatering prospect. Battle of the inflated ego.

brentford( we think we’re brazil but actually one nothing) v Birmingham( the big club). El Classico. The players on show there’s him and him and is mate. Household names. Sell out guaranteed.  I’d send the Top commentary team Murphy, neville( either or both) with Owen just to do it justice.

Salford on the TV first weekend  already ...Sky announce 

It's amazing that within no time at all of the fixtures being announced Sky already have Class of '92 FC on their first live game. Interestingly the TV deal is for 20 League One and Two games to be broadcast live. I wonder how many of these will be used up on Class of '92.

20 in total or 20 between both divisions? Seems very few

If it's 20 between both, Salford will be shown a minimum of 5 times.

Derby looking for a new manager, wonder if last season was their big chance.

Will end in tears this one. Lampard seems bright enough and could have the right stuff to make it as manager, but the Chelsea job next year would be tough for anyone, let alone for someone with zip experience.

Sometimes promoted clubs aren't ready or at least take time to get used to a higher level. Wolves in 2003 would be a clear case and while Rovers playing well was part of it they were completely off the pace in that 5-1 defeat. Of course there's a big difference between the jump they made and the one Charlton Athleic have made especially when they are somewhat used to the Championship as a club.

The last few weeks have seen Uncle Harry and cousin Jamie pushing him in any media outlet that would listen to them. It's all set to fail with his inexperience, transfer embargo and aging team.

And all without Hazard! They'll be hoping that Man U, Spurs and Arsenal tread water next year, otherwise they could be a million miles away from where they're used to being.

At least with an embargo in place Uncle Harry won't be able to 'do his thing' with their transfers.

I had it in my head he was a good u21 coach before Derby but can't find any trace. At least that would've added some logic to the Chelsea interest beyond 'club legend'.
