Next season predictions?

I personally think it will be the klopp and pep show next year in terms of what is won
 
What we can probably expect if we get 4th is Middlesboro away in their first home PL game 48 hours after playing away to somebody in Kazhaskstan in the CL play off.

top 4 at best, he has a very big task and I'm not sure will be able to adapt his style having never been out of italy

Mancini's never out of Italy for management before City too though. Only difference is Conte's been at Italy for entirety of his playing and managerial career.
 
Rest our better players in the Europa League and Capital One Cup to enable a good start in the Premier League.

If we go out of either or both of those competitions early on so much the better, we can then give the FA Cup a good bash as early rounds do not clash with league matches.

Make certain we defend well in matches against our main rivals and put the lower team to the sword especially away from home instead of fannying around.

Sign a top class fullback, central defender, midfield enforcer, playmaker and goal scorer - five players needed as a minimum requirement.
 
I'd like to keep expectations relatively low for the next couple of seasons as Pep has a large rebuild ahead of him.

Top 3 and either domestic cup would be a successful season. Top 3 and no cup would be a par performance.

If he can win us the league then great but it would take a big turnaround from this season.

Lets not set Pep up to fail by setting the bar too high. In that way we may be pleasantly surprised.
 
Normally I couldn't give a fuck about other teams but the lineup of managers next season is looking pretty tasty.

MCFC Guardiola
MUFC Mourinho
LFC Klopp
EFC De Boer
AFC Wenger
CFC Conte
THFC Pochettino
WHU Bilic
SFC Koeman
LCFC Ranieri
WFC Mazzarri

To name a few...

Can't wait for next season.

Hoping for a decent tilt at the title but not expecting anything with the work Guardiola has to do with this squad. Might be 2 years before we are in a position to win it again.

2 years to win the title when we are probably going to be the biggest spending this summer with the best manager in the world. On the back of season where we have been unlucky in some respects and in others have under performed but still fished 4th won a cup and done better in Europe. I would be think we would win it this year let alone next
 
Giddy as fuck for next season.

I want to see good football, lots of effort and just get us back on top in England.
 
Top 4 going to be a battle next season. Chelsea and the dippers have no European football so they can just concentrate on the league.

City
Chelsea
liverpool
arsenal

spurs
westham
scum.

That should do it. Maybe swop westham for liverpool.
 
Fucking hell, Guardiola, Klopp and Mourinho! Add to that Conte with Chelsea, and Wenger actually spending money at Arsenal. Going to be some season.

I have to admit that I can't see the Rags not being near the top of the league with Mourinho in charge. I don't think they're too far away with their team, as they have showed they can defend, so that's Mourinho's job half done. He'll get a tune out of them going forward as they do have talent there, it's just that van Gaal couldn't organise them.

Klopp will get his own players in and they'll be better - he still needs a Plan B though.

Conte has to spend, but their owner has shown he doesn't mind doing that, and they won't be this bad again.

Guardiola needs to spend, but spend right. The bloke appears to have a plan when he takes over, and knows how to set a team up. We have a lot of talent in the team, we just need some decent full backs. I'm confident that the Fern's can do a holding and closing down role in the middle, I'm also confident that KdB can do a job at 10, and I think Sterling has a bright future. My worry is our bloody injuries, and I don't know what he can do about them. Aguero needs to put in a full season as he really is irreplaceable, I think we can get by without Kompany and certainly without Silva. I'm praying he gives youth a chance.

Fucking can't wait!

City
Rags
Chelsea
Liverpool/Spurs
 
We will get the usual disruption of pre season caused by Euro's and Copa America so it will be difficult for him to work with the whole squad. I think initially, he will be shocked at the fitness levels of some of the players and their lack of tactical intellegence. The key factor will be how much new stuff can the squad take on and how quickly? I would just love to see the first training session where the pitch is divided into squares and players are told which ones they can inhabit. Would love to see how Oto responds to that! I can honestly see it taking some months and games until we see the new city emerge. Realistically, I think we will be top three in Premier League and last 8 in CL with a good cup run in one of the others. Season 2 we will dominate.
 
Hard to call the top 4 next season, Liverpool, United, West Ham, will all be stronger, Chelsea will be there or there abouts, throw in city, spuds, Leicester, and arsenal, it's going to be a right scrap

Chuck Everton in there to if they keep hold of their players appoint a decent manager and they splash the cash. Plus there is Southampton too think about Koeman could do something there.
 
Gonna take him 1-2 seasons to sort the crap from last season. Top4 spot and a cup is realistic in my view. Can't see us challenging for the league sadly.
