The other unknown factor is motivation after last season. OK, Pep will be the ever demanding perfectionist but will the players have the same hunger? Not much left to go for once you've got the football 'Holy Grail '? As a veteran City fan i genuinely wouldn't be bothered if won nowt for a few years ( Except beating the Rags of course). It's been a long journey for me watching City, with lot's of lows. The highs are now great, but weirdly i wouldn't mind the odd low now and again for contrast! Maybe this is the season.
