And drearily pontificates that the last two seasons City have been over-achieving! I think every pundit will have us in either 5th or 6th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t then B Rogers reputation will be damaged. It’s imperative that we make top four I don't think we have to. Look at what we're up against! There are 6 clubs in this league whose revenues dwarf everyone else's. We're doing fantastically well to get near them, never mind break into their group at the top of the table. For what it's worth, I think we're very well prepared to achieve top 4, and I think it could happen this season, but I don't think anyone expects us to do it. Brendan's reputation is not going to be damaged if we finish just outside the top 4 again. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the top division over the last 30 years or so? No non-big 6 team has finished in the top 4 for 16 years running and only 3 times in the last 20. What makes you think we ‘have’ to finish top 4 or that we should? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't achieve top four his reputation will be damaged and if he does get 4th it's all down to luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s imperative that we make top four It really won't be damaged. Right now he's considered by many as the best British coach. Another finish in the European spots only enhances that. A top 4 finish, with us (like it or not, we're still not regarded as one of the "top 6") will see his stock rise to one of the best coaches in Europe It's imperative that we don't see failure to make the top as a failure, because it isn't. It should be our aim, and I think the club were very disappointed not to go further in Europe last season, so I can see us concentrating on that. But if we miss out in top 4, then it's still not the end of the world, providing there's a decent run in Europe and a decent defence of the FA cup. Big Nige was right then and he'd still be right now, delusions of grandeur could be our downfall 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 12 August 2021 Share Posted 12 August 2021 Bertrand's delivery has been excellent so far from corners and we now have a giant at the back so surely this is the season we turn into serial corner scorers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the fact is, in Aug. 2019 and Aug. 2020, 99 percent of the people on this site would have chopped off their willies for the results we achieved those seasons, but everyone complained in the end. I think a strong start, and not dropping stupid points, and a bit of magic dust could see us in top four, assuming we do our business against the big boys and they cannabalize each other. Okay, maybe a lot of magic dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, maybe a lot of magic dust. The only disappointment came from losing out late on. Flip the seasons about a little, have a slow start and the finish how we started meaning a run up the table and everyone is ecstatic with 2 5th place finishes, 2 europa league appearances and an fa cup, it's what we've dreamed about for so long. If we're all being honest, missing out on the top 4 for 2 seasons in a row the way we have done is disappointing, but we should all be able to take a step back and appreciate what we've done in a relatively short amount of time. It had adjusted our targets, as fans (maybe not internally) but it shouldn't be seen as a failure if we don't make it. I've said it time and time again but we are on a journey, I know that's a bit cliché, but where are on that journey currently means we have to remain competitive and as Geoff says, maybe add a little more silverware. Top 4 should be our aim in another 4 or 5 years maybe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you imply we know the fee and contract are done, if he's trained the afternoon session then his medical was done this morning, so it will just be signing paperwork and submitting them to the PL/FA. Another training session with Cags tomorrow and he starts Saturday I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
