Post subject: Next season expectations
Now limited by; the failings of last summer's window, a manager who will not change and many players who are simply not good enough and/or past their sell-by-date.
There's just too much work to do and too big an overhaul necessary over the summer to try to make up for lost time.
If, as I imagine will happen, we keep Mancini and only buy three new players - who wont be the world class one's we are hoping for - then I predict EXACTLY THE SAME AS THIS SEASON, EXCEPT ONE PLACE LOWER!
3rd Premier League
Because we lost so much time, the best players will not come to us as they will view us having a lack of ambition. Where once we could have bribed them by paying astronomical wages - this is no longer an option.
Sadly we still have the same 2nd rate players languishing on those laughable wages that we're now saddled with.
In order to improve? Sack Mancini, Platt and Kidd for starters. Sell: Barry,Lescott,Garcia,Kolarov,Sinclair,Nasri,Dzeko,Rodwell,one of aguero/tevez,Kolo Toure,.
Then as a priority BUY A WORLD CLASS CENTRE BACK. Also, a proper all round centre forward and a midfield 'general'. In other words - rebuild the spine of the team..............................
