Big Red Rich Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Cant help but think that could be one of the relegation spots taken up, they're like a sinking ship right now. Cant help but feel sorry for clubs like Hull, Blackburn, Charlton, Blackpool etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Can't help but feel sorry for the fans, but the owners of the clubs you mention deserve to sink into non-league quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have had them down as likely for the play offs, unless something particular has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityRobin Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Is this to do with the fact that they seem to be selling their whole team away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Wiki has their squad at 24 currently. However, that includes 4 GK. Elmohamody, Moloney & Robertson are all touted to leave, taking outfield players to 17. Those 17 include 4 scholars, one who has just left on a season long loan and Ryan Mason who is still recovering from a fractured skull. I reckon they have a choice of 11 plus kids for 10 outfield positions. That spells trouble in anyone's book. After last years last minute Bruce resignation suggesting all wasn't well, and Allam getting all stroppy because he can't change the name and not putting cash in as a result the evidence suggests they are in trouble with a capital T...

They all played the top teams week in week out all be it for possibly only a year. Can't change a thing. I'm a city fan( it'll never change) but they've all had at least two years that were far more successful than I've seen at city in nearly 30 years of watching.

Support for me is not dependent on what league we are in, tbh I cannot envy any supporter of another club, because they don't support the mighty Bristol City.

Im not bothered when I think about it. Not really up for getting promoted, getting slapped about week in week out, getting relegated the next season and then desperately trying to cling to the surprisingly smooth slope that is the Championship. Much rather have the experience of seeing my team week in week out, not really bothered who we're playing too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it wasn't the prem. but look what happened to us after our spell in the top division "living the dream" It was great while it lasted but after the freefall, it took years to recover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also got parachute payments and a direct link to any Chelsea players being loaned out due to their new Managers' close friendship with Abramovich. I wouldn't worry too much about them when we still have a lot of work to do ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmohamady has joined Villa today, I'm pretty sure Mahoney has already gone, he failed a medical at Aberdeen last week and is out of contract. The 4 keepers includes Jakupovic (joining Leicester) and Marshall who has just picked up a long term injury. Their new Russian coach has already borrowed one Chelsea kid from his mate Abramovich but I think they are limited to a maximum of 2 from one club. They look as big a mess as they did last summer, what a complete contrast to Boro, who came down with them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience it, yes, of course. Not jeopardise the future of our club in chasing it, or trying to stay there if we got there. If we could do a Burnley, yes. If we became a basket case club, even like Watford who stay there but have gone mental, then no, not really appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 20 hours ago, The goal is that way said: Wouldn't it be nice just to experience the premier league maybe just once in your lifetime!! It might be nice yes but not at the price of perhaps not having a club to support afterwards. It`s only a matter of time before football eats itself and the dominoes will start to fall and `big` clubs start going to the wall - QPR, Wolves, Birmingham all spring to mind. The way we are run will enable us to ride out the storm IMO and I for one would rather we didn`t jeopardise the future chasing an impossible dream.

I strive to see my team achieve as much as possible and dream of playing at the highest level. That's why I support my team and spend money on the club.. To see it grow and progress. I want to see us up against the best the country has to offer, not slum it with the likes of Port Vale and Oldham. Each to their own though.
