Right, adjusting expectations

1) it appears the majority are now aware that self-funding both doesn't work and implies the club remaining under the ownership of Delias nephew with no investment. So expect increasing angst and anger to Delia as things probably go from bad to worse
2) it's likely we get worse from here, unbelievably. We have no midfield capable of mixing it in the champs, let alone the prem.
3) pretty horrid recruitment in the summer, bar Normann. Suspect webber and other backroom staff go in the summer
4) we need incredible recruitment in the summer to go back up. God knows how they do it, but they should be identifying the best 4 midfielders in the champs right now and consider selling Aaron's who is the only one with big value.
5) hope for the best, but it looks like the worst prognosis for city I can remember for a while. What a c**ty turnaround.
