Dolman_Stand Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I don;t think I would enjoy watching a load of foreign mercenaries playing for my club so the CHampionship is about as far as I would like us to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't actually like us to go to the Prem so much. I'd rather us be in the Championship as a strong team than be in the Prem. At least we'll have less 'band wagon' fans then. Plenty of good grounds in the Championship too. Most not as expensive as top flight grounds I'd imagine. A good team in the FA Cup and playing Championship level football is my ideal 'level' that I think would be best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim number one is promotion After that - stay in the championship (unlike last time)Then - keep improvingIf we then stand a chance of further promotion we then take it. Watford have spent very little, they have had a little adventure, and will have made an absolute fortune this season. When they kick off next season they will be a wealthier, better supported club with a stronger squad than they had two seasons ago and with a realistic chance of going back up again.Preston a few years ago, when they looked like being promoted, told their fans that all they could expect from promotion was one season in the premiership as they weren't really ready for it and wouldn't waste money on panic signings. What they would do is take the premiership money and rebuild their entire training complex. Clever board.My ideal level for City is regular top four in the premiership with a strong representation of local Academy talent in the team such as Middlesborough, and to a lesser extent Man Utd, has. What does it take to get there? Well promotion this season starts us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 If we are in the championship next season, then 1 or 2 seasons of consolidation are an absolute priority. Then you can begin to go about life as an established championship club, and seriously attract the higher quality of payers needed for a further promotion effort. If we can become an established championship side, then it is unrealistic not to target the premiership, and I belive the perfect model to follow should be Reading. They have a wealthy chairman, and have not flooded their team with too many foreign players, which I agree would take away alot of pride in following the club.Imagine a day where City are mid table in the premiership, being captained by, lets say, Frankie Artus, and they have another 2/3 academy products in the team, with a few seasoned European pros to complement them. This would surely be worth the extra ticket cost, if only to be able to watch the best players and managers come and play at the Gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc seattle Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I'd settle for mid/lower-half of the table next season and then competing for playoffs the 2nd season. and 3rd season promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll be in the Championship for three seasons too. Autumn, Winter and Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
