Bristol City have found their level. A decent sized city, although one of the worst in the Uk to be sure, is too big for League 1 and too small for the Premiership. Their owner, a superb businessman but clearly no fan of football, owns it as a break-even / high return bet on getting to the Premier league, but will certainly not spend to get there. That makes him a very sensible guy, but the club doesn't have the ambition, the stadium nor the infrastructure to get there. If it got there, it would come straight back down.

Villa, Derby and Wolves are the threats to our promotion. Bristol is not. It is a passer-by in the division. A voyeur. An onlooker. A limp dabbler. But not a serious participant.
