Looking at City at the time that article was written, the logical thing to say has to be that we may or may not have a manager who is an upgrade on recent appointments, but, even if he is, he still has what looks like a relegation squad (based on the fact there's no new players come in and, arguably, our three most influential performers in 22/23 have all left) to work with at the moment.
As usual I agree with almost everything you’ve said - there was a poll on Twitter and something like 70% last I checked were optimistic about the upcoming season.

More power to them and I wish I could be that optimistic but realistically all we have so far is a weaker squad and a manager who is a total unknown. We will see if any of the rumored big exciting signings actually come off in the next week or so.
