DaveInSA Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Are we (or can we be) the Spurs of the Championship. There are parallels... Newly redeveloped stadium Strong youth policy No "bought in" big name transfers Amazing team spirit Young & ambitious coach A big question about what next? I don't think we are quite there ....yet. We have to answer the question at point 6. And we haven't finished top 4 for the last 4 seasons. Can we become that club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a bizarrely coincidental basis, I had this thought this morning in relation to Pochettinos ultimatum. In effect, MP is saying “right, I’ve done as much as I can if not more with the finances to date - now if you want me to stay, and you want us to kick on, I need support” All it was missing was the word “bold” several times and it could have come out of the words of someone closer to home...

Rudolf Hucker Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I think you’ll find that the Memorial Ground has been upgraded more recently than AG, with the pitching of their new family stand (sans row M) hence their claim, during the last season, that only themselves and Spurs were upgrading their facilities. That is, apart from Exeter and Plymouth. Oh and the brand new ground being built by Brentford. In the past they’ve also laid claimed to being the “Barcelona of League Two” - a title to which I sincerely hope they lay claim again very soon. In short, they’ve already nabbed all of the best comparisons for themselves. Thus overall, I think that we will be best to consider ourselves merely the “Bristol City of the Championship”.

A mate of mine is Spurs fan and we always talk of the parallels in that both teams are also close to achieving their dream but let you down at the last minute! And usually lose their big games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I tend to think of us as the Brighton of the Championship as we seem to be mirroring everything they`ve done only about seven years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 In the PL I would compare us to Brighton. More relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA Cup and League cup double next season, Europa League the year after, then European Super Cup and Champions League in the third season.
