I’ve been around long enough to know that strange things can happen in football. Who would have thought that back end of 83 we’d be the best team in Europe within 18 months, and at the end of 2003/4 we’d qualify for the Champions League the following season.
However, with the midfield we’ve currently got I just can’t see us not being around 15-20th. A massive challenge for the coaching staff to get the midfield players to anything like a level of competence where they can actually keep hold of the ball, never mind create anything.
Also I fear our best player from last season, the crowd, won’t have the same levels of energy to pull us out of the mire as they did at the end of last season.
It’s football though, so who knows!
