Biggest achievement

Mon May 07, 2018 9:23 pm

Would Neil Warnock keeping City in the Premiership next year be an even bigger achievement than getting us there in the first place?
I was just thinking how many of the present squad would get into ANY other premier league team??
The budget will be "realistic" Maybe with the addition of 5 new players costing no more than say £20 million in total. Neil will need to do some brilliant business.
As an example Gary Madine and Lee Tomlin were the most expensive recent buys and I don't think anyone in the Prem would be interested!
So let's be realistic ( not negative) and accept that 3 from the bottom or anything better will be a great effort. So when things get tough Let's not have posts saying get rid of NW! He probably deserves a statue outside CCS already
Come on City- ruffle some feathers!!!! :bluebird:

Simple answer - YES it will be as no one has done it before ( although someone else was not given the chance )

So please keep the faith and give NW the chance to buy / spend / work out his squad going into next season .

Started early last season and got off to a good start - The man knows what he is doing with his signings ,

As NW stated , we will buy players that wont break the bank, but give us a superb chance of return to the premier league if the worst happens and we go down.
lets remember those years under Ole and Slade and the dross we had to put up with.
Lets build a foundation with cement not sand.
How many teams yoyo before becoming established in the Premier league.

Sure it would huge to finish 17th or better especially when you acknowledge very very few of our players would get into other premier sides! Possibly none at the start of the 17/18season (Maybe Ken Zahore and Gunners)
NOW maybe another Prem team might go for Ralls, Etheridge ( young and improving) possibly gunnarsonn and hoillet but WHO ELSE??
Not many, if any......
It underlines how well NW and the players did to get there. And the size of our task.

NW really needs to find a few quality players and a couple of hidden jewels - can he?
