We should be at or beyond the stage of having to pay inflated wages to get players to sign for us. Being champions instead of 2nd or 3rd would have helped in that respect. Pellers will probably be giving another year, either way he's the sort of manager who will struggle to get us over the line in a league campaign. he just doesn't have that nasty streak that you need. I used to be escatic with 40 points, now the expectation is so much higher that 3rd place seems a failure. Things were so much simpler back then.


I think barring our superstars we aren't paying wages that are out of line from what I've read.

I'd rather have the count than a nasty piece of work like mourinho any day of the week. Or a shit talking cunt like Rodgers.

3rd won't make me happy but barring winning it anything in the top 4 with a genuine title challenge is what I expect.

Cheers

It's more contextual than finishing third. What about finishing third but a point of the top versus second seven points from the top?

Overall the season hasn't been great. A league cup win is a positive but a bad FA Cup exit and another year showing we're way off the pace in Europe has been disappointing. League form has been hot an cold too much, and the inconsistency fits with the inconsistencies in ability level of the squad. As other people of mentioned, without the joy/burden of Europe City may well lead the league - but that's not really a valid reason to give for other teams to win it.

So you are now making Garry Cook Style projections.
