Where will City finish on 2/5/2026? (With Poll)

11th-17th. Based on nothing at all except that I can’t bear the idea of a relegation battle so I’m just going to wish it away.

 

I see the Guardian has us down as relegation candidates.

Probably a typo, meant to say Huddersfield. You know the Grauniad is.

 

I think the list is computer driven. I can't see Cardiff doing that well to be honest. They haven't signed many.

 

Watching Bolton v Reading tonight.
Reading are poor.
Bolton are all over them ATM.
13 shots to 1.
Got a lot of really fast ball carriers have Wanderers.

 

Just as Reading score.

 

Very low quality tbh…Reading get their first point ….1-1 Both goals fluke deflections .

 

10th

 

Nothing to fear in my view, but I 'll say 7th to 10th because I cannot bear getting tonked every week in the Champ - it would need another level of investment to sustain us in the Championship. Stefan said he wants it and prepared to put his money where his mouth is, but a different matter at the next level completely.

 

Precisely, the level of dosh some clubs are LOSING week by week in the Championship is unsustainable for our club at this time. We would need some rich dudes to invest ,as for all his £100M, I don't think Rupp is really enough of a football enthusiast to invest in championship quality players. I am guessing he hopes that success in League 1 will attract a buyer for the club. However, having said that, we have beaten a couple of multi-million pound teams in the last couple of weeks whilst our players are valued in the region of 400k. If you have the right players at the right price, maybe you can survive in a higher division.

 

Each club gets £11 million pounds for participating in the championship so that would go a bit towards any investments.

 

Thought i would throw this back up there and see how many thought we would do as well has we have done and it aint many is it really ????
So i dont get the negative vibes when we hae overachieved on what the majority thought we would do

 

I’m standing by my 17th place.

 

I think I can quite safely say with a degree of certainty that you will be wrong .

 

I think a huge amount will be the same not great on maths but its 90% i think
