You folks might call me crazy for this but I don't think City will retain the title next season. I don't know who will win it but I have this feeling City might drop the title next season. Who I think may be in a relegation battle next season. I'm going to say Wolves, Forest, Sheffield United and possibly Luton. Teams flirting around that zone I would say Crystal Palace, Everton and maybe West Ham. Chelsea I think may miss out on top 4, Spurs I need to see how they play up until Christmas before I say where I think they'll finish Your crazy 🤣😉 In all seriousness, I think City will probably win the league for at least the next 5 years whilst Guardiola remans which would be awful for football.

This is hopeful thinking my friend. One thing about this league is that it throws a WHOLE heap of surprises.

Your not wrong there, I just have this uncomfortable feeling it will happen and it's not because of the season just finished, it's something I've expressed previously to people a few years ago now.

Unexpected breaking news.
Gary O'Neil has been sacked by Bournemouth despite keeping up in the Premier League.
I'll be honest this is a harsh sacking. Something has definitely gone on behind the scenes. This sacking just don't make any sense, don't be fooled by the club statement.

I'm pretty sure they were in the bottom three around February so they did quite well to get to where they got to. It seems that there is an obsession with getting rid of your manager these days. Clubs have such high expectations. What were they expecting? Top 10? Europe? I'd understand if they were in the relegation zone after a bad run of form but this is really ridiculous.

I've been saying it for a while that the turnover of managers in this country is ridiculous by owners who have no idea about how beneficial stability in the managerial position brings to a club. Everyone thinks they can replicate Chelsea under Abromovich when they were merely the exception to the rule.

It does seem that either something has gone on behind the scenes or they have somebody else lined up who they think can do a better job?

If the owners thought there's somebody else that can do better then what was the point of giving him the job permanently? As I said before it's more likely that something has gone on behind the scenes, especially with the fact that it's two weeks before pre-season and the transfer window has now opened.

The season just ended there were 15 managerial sackings but I don't think there will be as many next season in the prem.

Let's just hope this isn't another Frank De Boer situation.

The season just ended there were 15 managerial sackings but I don't think there will be as many next season in the prem. Indeed and there's my point - apart from a short stint in the top flight and a FA Cup Final appearance where they got smashed 6-0, they've turned into a yo yo club at best. No stability, too many players moving between them, Granada & Udinese and thus they reap what they've sown. Sadly, with all the money swimming about, I think the 15 sackings could easily be replicated again next season but time will tell
