    So with Mark Hughes in charge for 5 months, a disappointing mid table finish last season, but a more positive style of play, 14 new signings, how do you think City will do next season.

    The games against York and Sunderland were largely positive.

    There is a good ‘vibe’ around the club.

    How far can City go next season?

    Your big opportunity to say, ‘I was bang on right’!

    Time to commit your thoughts here.;)

    Automatic promotion for me with the squad we have and a manager that knows when and how to use players

    4-7 - obviously I can't predict whether we'll win the play offs or not, but I think that's the realistic outcome - anything more (ie, autos) is a FANTASTIC achievement - anything less, well, we'll have to assess what that means and how the future looks.

    But if we only narrowly miss out on the play offs and are hampered by injuries or things beyond our control, then sure, I'm fully backing Hughes.

    I think this is the best the club has looked in decades - Ryan Sparks is doing a super job and is at last allowed to focus on all of his strengths, while Hughes is in total control of the on-pitch activities.

    Rupp, in the background, at last has a team of legitimate quality working for him.

    Feels great, I'd hate for anything to change that.

    Will this poll be used to mock and ridicule those that put any of the first 3 options,at the end of the season when we implode at Xmas and finish 13th?

    Oh f@ck it,I’m voting champions again just like last season.

    Could also be used to mock those that think we'll implode by Christmas

    In virtually any race, you place a bet before the start. The start is a week on Saturday. Why should it be ‘far too early’?

    Honestly, f**ks knows.

    There is a positive energy about the club and the squad looks capable. Similar words were noted this time last year. But like you the reader, its hard at this stage to understand this current squads 'real' abilities.

    I guess the correct way around this, is to understand our 23 opponents, strengths and weaknesses. And then try work out from there...

    Would it help? No would it f**k..

    So, even I am going be ultra positive and state on record now, we won't be relegated, probably top half finish and a hint of promotion is not beyond the realms of possibility.

    Clear?

    Aim for the top, Hughes likes silverware and you only get that for one place(no I don’t count the playoff one they give for show at Wembley).

    Champions.

    Not as a manager, he doesn't. If I'm correct, he's never won one piece of silverware as gaffer and has spent well and assembled healthy squads. 15 odd years in club management?
