. 0 Posted June 8, 2012 But spartacus......... Like so many others you read me wrong. It''s not what I hope but what I anticipate.Very different things.I''ve not had any issues with PL (other than after he walked) and I have no axe to grind with Hughton but I have always viewed City''s recent meteoric rise in fortunes as a ''bubble''. I believe that this has just burst and we will now find our ''proper'' league level from next season on... until there is a change of ownership. [:)]I''m just a realist that''s all.

Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted June 8, 2012 If we survive next season it will be an even bigger achievement than this season. Stale Premiership teams have gone, vibrant and cash rich Championship sides have arrived ... oh, and the man solely responsible for our miraculous rise has left and our captain with 70 goals in 3 years wants to leave! Next season will be a bitter slog but hopefully the character of our players, backing of our supporters and the wisdom of Hughton can give us a fighting chance. Also we don''t know how new management at WBA and Swansea will impact those clubs. I would be delighted with 17th - I would take it now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 224 Posted June 8, 2012 I too don''t think that finishing 17th next season is any less of a success than 12th this season. the reason why is that we''re commited to paying off our debts by then end of next season, the 3 weekest teams have been relegated. QPR will be stronger from now on, I don''t think Wigan will be near the bottom either. In fact, apart from Reading, I''m struggling to see who would be clearly in the bottom 3!!

smooth 114 Posted June 8, 2012 Europe, we are a long way off... lets try and keep up next season. I am afrad weak teams came down and strong teams came up and those like sunderland. villa and QPR will not be as weak as they were next season.Staying up is going to be so very hard.Europe, well once our youth system is producing great elite players, we have paid alot of money to have this youth set-up, we need some more financial backing and we need to be in this league for about 5 years before Europe even enters the mind.We are not there yet, our goal is premiership survival each season and the £££££££ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted June 9, 2012 Possibly but I don''t subscribe to the view that next seasons Premiership will be the weakest cause I think Reading, Southampton and West Ham will be stronger than Bolton, Blackburn and Wolves were this season! I''ll take 17th now and if Hughton does that then that''ll be job done, but obviously we have to aim higher than that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
