Stubbsy1993 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 With City being top this Christmas, where do we realistically see the club this time next year? I can see us being mid-lower Championship, with a strong second half of the season. A club definitely on the up, let the good times roll!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsapper Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 It's all about the players to come into the club over the next two transfer windows. But mid table in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Anything less than the Championship would be a major disappointment. Based on how clubs such as Brentford and Bournmouth have done since they were promoted, mid table Championship is achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbsy1993 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 One thing we can all agree on is that at City it is never as simple as we want it to be. If we are to get promoted this season, we can't be unhappy with a team that consolidates in the Championship with a good manager, solid spine within the team and a sound financial footing; all three we have now, which can be used as a platform to build a successful club in the medium and long-term.

wendyredredrobin Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm hopeful that we will win this league, but still think we will be in the top two. SL has learned from mistakes in the past (previous seasons following promotion) and will not make the same mistakes again. As a result, we will have a side with a realistic chance of making the play offs next season with a small chance of premier league football the season after. After getting promotion this season, we will need to keep the main squad together with perhaps the addition of a couple of quality players who will make all of the difference in the Championship. Too many changes will not work (this affects morale/team spirit adversely). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 The advantage of being top going into January is that we should be attractive to players who may be willing to drop a division in the short term for a longer term gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I hope to be still alive.......the rest is just gravy. As I`ve followed our club in all 4 divisions it don't really matter which one it is next season, although of course we all hope its the next one up.

Too many changes will not work (this affects morale/team spirit adversely). To be fair the board got it spot on the last time we got promoted.. The players we brought in in the summer of 07 were all very good shrewd signings that got us within a game of the Premier League. As we all know it was the season's that followed that need to be learnt from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbsy1993 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 We can all hope to ride the momentum of promotion, like a lot of other clubs have done in recent years; no reason why we can't do the same. As long as we go about it strategically, there is a great foundation to build on and potentially to reach dizzy heights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa_bcfc Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Sign a couple of decent strikers in transfer window then upper mid table championship. Get it wrong in the transfer window and then top six league one this time next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget them, we have already been there in 07/08.. It seems everyone has short memories..Aspire to achieve what this club already has done. Theres no reason with the right signings we cannot finish in the top 6 of the championship like we have before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
