  1. All last year's promoted sides in the bottom three. They have played 30 games between them, won 2, drawn 4 and lost 24. None of them have scored goals in double figures and all have conceded 2 or more per game on average. Sheffield still have not won a game with over a quarter of the season gone. All of the promoted sides of the last two years are in the bottom 7. Makes for very sorry reading and shows how the game has to change.
  2. Its a wonder anyone would want to replace Webber with the abuse being dished out on here.
  3. This is just plain idiocy. Some people have very very short memories. His last few years have not been good but remember where we were when he came in.
  4. Unless McKenna gets poached which is always a possibility. He is in the news pretty much every day now.
  5. I did give him the benefit of doubt but not anymore. This group of players should not be losing week in week out in this division.
  6. Jack Wilshere maybe if Knapper has some input.
  7. The broken world of modern football. Its no longer much of a sport.
  8. Because the whole point of it is it runs for 12 months at which point both sides can not renew. But if the employer ends the contract early them compensation will be due otherwise why would an employee agree to a 12 month rolling contract in the first place?
  9. I can’t see the new DoF making any changes until the end of the season when he has had a proper chance to assess where we are. In all honesty the EPL is not really a place I want to be watching City at the moment. Look at Burnley, a young forward thinking manager with great contacts, play fast free flowing football, spent close to £100 million in the summer and they are in danger of heading straight back down and struggling to cope. Equally the club has asked for ideas to improve the atmosphere at home games because apparently it’s been very flat. I think teams need to make a much more pragmatic view if staying in the EPL and being competitive is the goal. Fast free flowing football that looks great in the championship will get you relegated in the EPL.
  10. Who would you realisticially appoint that is significantly better?
  11. People do talk some absolute **** on here. Keep changing the manager and eventually the club slides into mediocrity in league One. Most will the the same ones wanting Farke sacked in his first season at City!
  12. Pretty sure there will be another different side to the same story.
  13. Unknown fact about Roy McCrohan. My fathers family knew him quite well and when my mum and dad got married he was invited. He came to the church service but had to leave the reception early as City were playing at home in the afternoon. He caught the bus to the game from what I can remember. How times have changed.
  14. If anyone reads the Mail, Sun, Mirror, Express, Telegraph and thinks they are reading unbiased news then they really are sheep being led to slaughter. At least two of those mentioned spread propaganda from Nazi Germany (as did part of the Royal family) and I think one is still very much run by the same fascist family.
  15. Moan moan whinge whinge. Too many people on here seem to revel in spending their life in a downward spiral of negativity.
  16. The only truly independent newspaper in the Uk that doesn’t have a political agenda pushed by it’s usually right wing owners, if you want the truth.
  17. Stick the leaders of Hamas and the leaders of Israel in a locked room for a day with nothing but a pen and paper. if no one comes out alive they will have all done Palestinians and Israelis a favour ( and the rest of the world).
  18. Hardly surprising he has not gone to prison. As I said if you are rich enough justice means something else. Big fines don’t deter thieves like him. Prison might.
  19. Bet he gets a fine and isn’t sent to prison which is what should happen. If you are wealthy enough you can beat justice

    Have a watch if the Spiders Web on YouTube re offshore tax havens. Half the wealth of the World is believed to be hidden in them but because most have no obligation to companies based there to produce accounts then no one has any idea of the true figure. It’s bound to be even greater. It’s a closed shop arrangement amongst top public school educated idiots who are effectively saying one rule for us and another for everyone else. The UK could easily solve its financial problems by closing the loopholes especially as some are Crown dependencies.

    Non doms don’t pay 30% tax. They pay £30,000 and absolve themselves of having to declare their income here.
  22. For one thing someone might have poached McKenna if they keep winning.

    Read his post. He would rather have his own car but argues his finances are not in decent shape to order an Uber cab. The two arguments don’t correspond.
