I was on about the original point not Hookeys

oh, okay. Apologies for misinterpreting it

It should be enough to get us promoted automatically, and anything else must be seen as a catastrophic failure.

WTF? Offer me promotion via the play offs now and i'd bite yer arm off never mind your hand, as would Tony, Steve or anyone else connected to the club i'm sure

Yeah, if I was offered promotion now, I would also take it. The problem is, we won't get offered that. If we finish 3rd, the short term future of the club depends on three matches. You need some luck (or at the very least an absence of bad luck), as one bad decision could cost literally millions of pounds. My point is, that with the resources and backing that Steve Bruce has, it would be a failure to have to enter into that lottery. Even if we end up winning.

Maybe catastrophic failure was too strong, but finishing lower than second isn't good enough this year.

It is if we're in the Top 6 and get promoted.

We would all take it, but I don't think it would mean that Bruce has done a good job.

[Clampy]

The aim will be for automatic promotion. If we were to go up through the play offs, I'd take that as well.

Ramirez is off from Boro so that weakens them.

A couple too many vowels in that one, Carol

[Jon Crofts]

I saw some rumours about someone offering real money for that fat useless tub of shite Micah Richards. Is there anything in it?

Sounds more far fetched than a a Chris Nolan sci-fi epic.

In fact I think Inception would be the only way we'd rid ourselves of Richards.

[eamonn]

What club? Only hope is an ex-manager who thinks he can make him whole again.

[Matt C]

Forest.

[aj2k77]

Forest.

They can have him and we'll throw in Gardner too.

The concept that the best squad doesn't necessarily finish top doesn't seem that hard to get your head around to me!

Atletico?
Leicester?
Man City should win the league most years on paper

No it doesn't but I'm happier with our squad than most others in the Championship. Now if they click into a team I'll be even more happy.

[Matt Collins]

Yep me too (I'm arguing against those that say we can't possibly have one of the best squads if we finished 13th)
