Actually it's me that normally calls this stuff well in advance,SWP,Aj and Joe Hart to name a few and I really think Pellegrini will get it right and make us a force.Like any other manager he needs a season at least !BlueAnorak said:Nice try Billy.
But the sad truth is that Pellegrini is looking more and more like a dud as each game passes.
I'd love to be wrong but I normally call it right months before the rest of you see the light. The really sad thing is that all it would take is a few adjustments to get us flying but Pellegrini just doesn't make them.
As long as City finish in the top four again, I'll agree with you. Qualifying for the Champions League is crucial to our strategy. With today's news that QPR may be fined £60m for breaching FFP, missing out on this competition will be a disaster for us.Thenumber1blue said:Actually it's me that normally calls this stuff well in advance,SWP,Aj and Joe Hart to name a few and I really think Pellegrini will get it right and make us a force.Like any other manager he needs a season at least !BlueAnorak said:Nice try Billy.

I thought at first this must be urine extraction, but then again perhaps not. Either way, I'm surprised you have the time to post on Blue Moon, what with all those Premier League club chairmen's phone calls and enquiries to answer 'n' all.......
He can't pick up the phone in time: too much petroleum jelly on his phone hand.
Those rules are Football League rules and don't apply to us. Stupid that they all use the same name but there's UEFA's version, the Premier League's and the Football League's.I'm no cynic said:As long as City finish in the top four again, I'll agree with you.

Reminds me of good old Peej in terms of his willingness to share his expertise with those less visionary than himself! Wonder what happened to him. Still can't get on the Hatter site to take a peek, due to server issues...... Will give you a buzz about Southampton nearer the time. Defo going though
I'm aware of that, but the Football League have set a precedent by introducing it and there's no disguising the fact that the rag brigade at the top of the EPL want to bring it in at our level too. Being in the C/L is crucial to our Board's strategy, and for that reason a change of management with all the potential for upheaval is a risk no matter who the Manager happens to be. Just pray we have the man to get us into that competition again.Skashion said:Those rules are Football League rules and don't apply to us.

goddammitI'd love to be wrong but I normally call it right months before the rest of you see the light
It would be too late to bring in any rule changes that would hurt us. Tom Glick has already declared that at the end of this financial year we will be in the top five football club revenues in the world. Plus I doubt they'd be able to get it through. They just barely scrapped the current rules through. Relax, we've made it. City are now part of the elite. Top five in the world by the end of this year! Take it in. Ingest it. Enjoy it. However, yes, I think top four will not represent any kind of a problem. Top two was my expectation before the season, and it still is, the fact that Chelsea haven't run away with it at this point is actually pretty damned encouraging. We can win this title. Actually, we SHOULD win this title.I'm no cynic said:I'm aware of that, but the Football League have set a precedent by introducing it and there's no disguising the fact that the rag brigade at the top of the EPL want to bring it in at our level too.
