The season is done and dusted and Nigel Pearson summed it up relatively well when describing the overall campaign as a "mixed bag."
A transitional campaign and one that many have been happy to wave goodbye to and await for the changes that will commence over the summer in regards to the dealings in the transfer market.
When fresh blood arrives, it will undoubtedly kick-start that feeling of optimism although the manager has already dampened expectations that there will be wholesale changes due to City's stringent transfer budget.
