Like your thinking on most of that, the Jelley to Robertshaw is an intriguing idea, but the one person you are missing that is making such an impact this year is Andrew Jordan as he should be at Eurotech. Chilton could possibly be part of yet another Arena team that has failed to materialize, but this time could happen with nowhere for Chilton to go.

I don't want to be to radical in my view but I think a reasonable prediction ought to be that Robershaw Racing I think will run 2x 08' spec RML Lacettis (given a new shape Lacetti will take over) with Harry Vaulkhard and Euan Hankey.

The Jordans will be together next year as TD's satellite squad.
Anyone think a new manufacturer will arrive? Or a new car on the grid? Would be nice. Hopefully Honda and BMW will join up.
Think we might get the new Lexus for BTC Racing.
Jason Hughes could well be using the MG again as its performance has increased since its new engine was put in! :-) Leggate may well be returning after the birth of her baby!
Would be good to see Doyle join up with a bigger team. Air Cool or Dynamics?

I think Andrew jordan will join TD with shedden and it will be Team John Guest and not Halfords.
I think Adam jones will stay as he is
VXR and Seat will remain the same
Matt Jackson will be in a works BMW instead of ExWorks
motorbase will stay kane ,collard plus whoever Dave has lined up ( he's too shrewed to announce something if it isn't definately on the cards!)
No new manufacturer, but lots of new cars for a few teams and a new(to the btcc) s2000 model for 1 team
Mickey Doyle bloody better return and i want his football team to loose every time he races!!!!

Chilton will never replace Andrew in a million years. He will be lucky to get a drive in my opinion.

How about Steve Neal's comments today...
"I believe we will have another manufacturer next year in a rear-wheel drive car, which will be really exciting because that guy will be pretty tough to beat"
Keith Cronin just took a huge 18.2 sec out of both Devine & Edwards on SS4 ! Edwards says that's mental and Keith is a special talent.
