Facts and predictions for div 1, season 17 (02/12/2006 19:21)

I have sendt a mail to every single manager in div 1 to find out about their goals for the season and who they think will end up in the top 3 section. In this post i will give out some regular facts that you all can find out about them if you bothered. I'm also gonna spoil what they all tipped for the top 3 positions. Last but not least i'm gonna try to predict how the table will look like when the season is over.
What i will not spoil to the public is what the managers goal for the season was, as I see this as "confidential" information.

As you can see i have been looking pretty good on every single team. All the info you can see up here are based on the pre-season. There might happen more transfers after I picked up all my info about the teams. Actions like that will have to become some of my predictions and therefor you might see some table predictions below that doesn't make to much sense from what I've written above.
The prediction is also made in the hopes that Krogzar, manager of Heracle Almelo change minds and do not quit playing the game.

For a little comment before the prediction i just woul like to say that this probably will be one of the closest season in history of ML. Making this prediction was really hard. There's only a couple of teams left now that have a little bit to bad team to actually compete in the division. In a couple of seasons it will probably become almost impossible to predict anything in the top division as the lower quality teams are gaining pretty fast on the big clubs.
