We have had 2 amazing opportunities to get to the Premiership and have blown them. Next season that needs to change. People on here coming out with stuff like they would rather play in this league because some of the teams in the Premiership aren't exciting is just baffling to me.

No ambition, might as well not bother turning up mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people said that the year before too. So many average Championship teams turn into Barcelona during the off-season. Some strong teams will be strong, some teams will surprise and fail/succeed against expectation, that's the nature of this league. What will be will be, but the sooner we all forget about missing out last season (players included) the better. If we perform and do our business properly, there's no reason we can't be challenging.

It will be interesting to see if he can cut it in the premiership. I'm personally not convinced..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I don't see the autos being any harder this season and that's where we have to be aiming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it needs doing early if we're serious about top 2 (even if that means paying a premium). In previous years, if we had just lost out in the play-offs I'd have agreed that we had probably missed our chance. With our resources these days though, you have to hope we can sustain challenges (at least for a few years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when they sign other players of the same or better quality that will help him at the new level. So strange how he ended up at city at 27 years old after playing scottish football etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
