It has certainly been a busy summer for Wales' three main football clubs.
Swansea have suffered the most upheaval with the loss of manager Roberto Martinez to Wigan. He has been replaced by Paulo Sousa.
Cardiff have moved homes from Ninian Park to the new Cardiff City Stadium, but have faced a battle to keep hold of their top stars.
Wrexham on the other hand, have been quietly working away in preparation for the 2009/10 season which starts for all three teams on Saturday.
So can Cardiff learn the lessons from last season's play-off heartache and make it to the Premier League? Will Swansea continue to surprise in the Championship? Can Wrexham win promotion back into the Football League at the second attempt?
BBC Sport Wales' football experts Ian Gwyn Hughes and Rob Phillips have given their predictions on how they think the three Welsh clubs will do this season.
Below each set of predictions, you can find links to the individual club previews for the new campaign which kicks off on 9 August.
CARDIFF CITY
Ian Gwyn Hughes, Football Editor
I expect them to be once again up challenging in the play-offs as goal-scoring will be no problem.
However, with no Roger Johnson anymore could be harder for them at the back.

Cardiff go into the season with scope for strengthening but you'd hope the players remaining from last season will learn from blowing a golden opportunity.
Not sure the division has improved, so I go for Cardiff to make the play-offs.

Swansea are no longer an unknown quantity at this level and with a new manager - Paulo Sousa - it could be very difficult to match last season's eighth-place finish.
But the Swans' board have made astute managerial appointments over the last few years so I think it is a case of wait and see.

Tough to call after a torrid summer of departures and the anticipated second-season syndrome knowing what to expect.
Paulo Sousa has a fine pedigree but needs to impose his imprint quickly and that could take time.

This is a massive season for Dean Saunders that could make or break him as a manager.
Last year I said top Wrexham would finish in the top 10 and was right - they finished 10th.
I actually think they will make the play-offs this season but they will not be the team to beat. That lies with Luton.

A big season for the club and manager Dean Saunders. I believe he'll have learned plenty from last season's trials and tribulations and will be better for it.
If anything the division will be tougher but I believe Wrexham will vie for play-offs.
