About time we came out from our humble beginnings and start giving shit back to people. We're a well financed club. Enjoy the ride. The amount of shit I've copped over the years - "only one team in Melbourne......", "love your trophy cabinet..." etc etc. It gets a bit tiring. The banter would be great and the concept has obviously come from a position of jealousy. I'd put that jealousy right back in their face. One thing supporting this team has taught me - you gotta have a laugh! Edited August 13, 2016 by Defibrillator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Expectations sky-high at A-League's City 5 OCT 2016 Melbourne City vice-chairman Simon Pearce says he "knows rather than believes" that success is coming to the club this A-League season. Melbourne City have turned the expectation dial up to 11 on the eve of the A-League season, declaring the time right for a breakthrough success. City are embracing their position as one of the favourites to win the league, which kicks off on Friday, after making good use of the embarrassment of riches at their disposal. John van 't Schip has brought in nine players with international or title-winning experience, headed by Socceroos legend Tim Cahill. It prompted a bold declaration by club vice-chairman Simon Pearce at the club's season launch on Tuesday night in Melbourne. The influential Abu Dhabi-based executive said he "knows rather than believes success will come" to the club, who recorded their best finish - fourth - to an A-League season last year. Pearce praised the coaching set-up and infrastructure on his visit to Australia, saying City had become "a world class football club". It's the club's seventh season in the league but year three under the ownership of the mega-moneyed City Football Club. In the past two years, City's W-League team claimed an emphatic title with a perfect season and the National Youth League side won their 2015 competition. Given the investment, the club's hierarchy feel the time for a return is now and van 't Schip agrees. The Dutchman said anything short of the club's first piece of silverware for the senior men's side would be a disappointment. "We've been making good progression but still in that progression we missed trophies. This club is now ready," he told AAP. "We have the team to achieve that. In saying that, it's about hard work." City are two wins away from the 2016 FFA Cup, having drawn cross-town rivals Melbourne Victory in the semi-final of the competition, and van 't Schip is eyeing it off. "The first one we can do that is the FFA Cup and we more than understand - it's important to the players, its important to the fans, it's important to win silverware this year," he said. Of course, with expectation comes pressure. Van 't Schip, in the final year of a contract with the club, suggested he knew the ramifications of falling short of the club's lofty aims. "I understand how things work," he said. "We've reached some goals in the way of how we're playing. Last year, we had very good games, very entertaining. "We also knew we were vulnerable in the way we defended as a team. "The players that we've brought in, I'm confident we will be there until the end." http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2016/10/05/expectations-sky-high-leagues-city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having low expectations theoretically could be good because it gives people the freedom to try things without fear, or operate under the radar, but in practice it seemed to mean we took more of a 'there or thereabouts' approach.
