    It's definitely good that he brought his assistant with him , something Slutsky obviously lacked

    My only problem with the set-up now is that we still have Darnborough as head of recruitment

    The Poles don't hate the Russians that much....theres plenty of " Friendships" between various Polish and Russian football groups for a start, some were even in England together for CL games this week.

    I know. I had dealings with Poles during a job I had back in the 1970s. Goes back centuries. Of course the decades after WW2 only intensified it.

    Yes, and many of their cities, especially Warsaw suffered real devastation and construction on a scale we could not imagine.

    I don't want to get into politics, but from my experience these are right wing groups that are of a similar mind set.

    All points wasted on you for one. Particularly anything football related.

    I don't think a bunch of football hooligans are representative of a whole country, anywhere.

    That's for sure, could never understand why Leo didn't have a number 2 of his own choice, took too much on his own shoulders.

    I thought Young would be in charge of youth matters.

    First things first regards Adkins,is i welcome him to city and i really hope that he turns it around on the field and we start to climb the table, but as things stand i'll hold off passing judgement on the appointment till the end off the january window and where we are in the league at that time, one thing he needs to learn is that the fans at city have been **** on for so long by these two, its going to take action(them two going),and not inspirational words to reunited the fans, just hope and pray that he's not another Ehab's yes man.

    I for one liked the positivity in his interview. I liked the fact he wants unity and everyone pulling in the same direction. Whether this will happen due to the divisions caused by the Allams remains to be seen.

    He's also got to contend with Darnbrough, who hasn't delivered so far in his role and his track record to date doesn't inspire confidence.

    I do hope he has been promised funds for strengthening in January, as without that I can't really see a change. The defence needs some serious surgery to stop haemorrhaging stupid goals. We don't have time on our side to get the current incumbents up to speed.

    Really thought glp, that he tried to dodge the question on transfers or at least he didn't give a straight answer to the question

    But Russian Jews aren't very liked by Russian non-Jews. Obviously not a case of "my enemy's enemy is my friend."

    I thought he said he had received no promises regarding funds being available for transfers?
