Either way, it's a big step towards elevating us away from the top 6 trophy ?Originally Posted by Monty92
And ultimately we're once again scrambling around for the top 4 trophy
Emotion, sentiment and misplaced loyalty has stood in the way of the club's progress for over a decade. Money has continued to pour into the PL, West Ham and Fulham spent £100m a piece in the transfer window.
Liverpool and Spurs can now lay claim to becoming regular CL place contenders. Pep, now in control of an inexhaustible supply of funds and well on the way towards turning City into the next Barcelona project. There's also now serious money behind Everton and Wolves.
A top 4 finish is a far more difficult task than in years gone by when the cynicism began. It was more or less a guaranteed top 3 finish of Chelsea, United and ourselves.
If Emery can make us genuine CL place contenders in his first year, it would be a spectacular achievement.
