But Chelsea are a better squad this season with virtually the same players as last season.<br /><br />Man City deserve to be a top 6 side on supporters, stadium, football presence in the home city etc. But Newcastle said the same for a decade. Its about appointing the right person. <br /><br />Hughes - well, we don't know. Ideal for a Blackburn or a Wigan - Top six might escape you this year unless you can get some wins in.<br />There's always some cheeky club hanging around seventh place.<br />Aston villa/sunderland/everton/ or even a tiddler team like fulham or Stoke.<br /><br />Best of luck anyway.Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-28802380560891934002009-11-08T09:53:18.958+00:002009-11-08T09:53:18.958+00:00Bill,

Start all over again? It does seem to me he has the respect of the owners, so we must let them get on with it. <br /><br />10 years ago I saw us snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at Wembley. Ten years ago we were in the (real) Third Division.<br /><br />I'll take where we are today. It is only the media demanding a top four finish. Top six, and maybe a pot would be a great season.Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-75095261667202859702009-11-07T23:43:20.675+00:002009-11-07T23:43:20.675+00:00Rugby League introduced a salary cap a few years a...Rugby League introduced a salary cap a few years ago, and it's worked brilliantly.<br /><br />Superleague is now so much more open than it was a few years ago.<br /><br />Maybe one day footie will catch up.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and most City fans know that as well. It's all going to plan.<br /><br />By the way, regarding the article, it was of course the establishment of the Premiership, to ensure that that top clubs got as big a slice of the football cherry as possible, which has brought us to where we are today.<br /><br />I would highly recommend reading David Conn's "The Football Business" which details football's hijack by the formation of the Prem, and also the less than savoury details of coups at various clubs. Especially interesting to this City fan is the recounting of how Louis Edwards slithered his way into controlling United, and how he made his money peddling tainted meat, via the council, to schools in Manchester. <br /><br />The Bent Butcher, as he is still known.Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-81809586801037542562009-11-07T13:03:03.296+00:002009-11-07T13:03:03.296+00:00If only FIFA/UEFA would insist that players should...If only FIFA/UEFA would insist that players should be formally domiciled in the tax jurisdictions in which their club is located.
