On that basis, it’s difficult to read too much into the Premier League’s latest offering other than to conclude that we need to reach the 40-point mark before the final game of the season – only a complete masochist would want to rely on three points at the Etihad on the final day to stay up…
With City home and hosed on the manager front, time to sit back, relax and watch the others go for a spin on the merry-go-round
The fact that McNally and co did their business so early and so clinically should now count as a blessing, as they now have the rest of the close-season to prepare for 2012/13 with a degree of comfort and stability….
Team Hughton suits me down to the ground. The fact that it includes Mr Chester's return can only bode well, too.

I for one believe last season’s relegation to League One couldn’t have been better timed. For now, the Premier League is a place City are best out of – for it is there where debt levels could run into club-threatening proportions. This year, more than most, England’s top division seems an unstable and almost unsavoury place.
