Absolutely 100% true....

Ok, it was said more in jest than with any seriousness but you couldn't blame him for thinking it.

In saying that, as we came out and saw the Bluebirds going 2-0 up with an excellent goal from Ojo on the TV screens in the concourse area he did again say.... "See, told you we should have gone!" :emoticon-0102-bigsm

You've got to admit though Supcon, your lot were dire for the majority of the game. :emoticon-0138-think

Not disputing that, both teams were very poor. It had an air of a game that neither side really was interested in winning. I expect the replay to be played in a similar vein. Both goals were very poor from a defending point of view, ours more so, but woeful from the Swans keeps as well.

I see Huddersfield have captured Anthony Knockeart... I know he could be a temperamental sod but we could really do with his calibre of creativity.

Worrying that the teams around us are appearing to strengthen quite well <yikes>

Creative player, good engine but that Alice band?

Played on loan at Bournemouth in their promotion team. Not sure he would see our situation as an opportunity. I would take him though.

Stroppy little bugger but can run all day. Good tracking back and creative going forward.

May have wage demands beyond our situation but he'd be on my list as the type of player we sadly lack.

Has it gone under the radar that due to paying the instalment on Sala outside the due 30 days City are now prevented from paying a transfer fee for THREE windows?

So unless there’s a successful appeal we’re limited to loans and free transfers until 2024-5 season.

I think I read somewhere that that rule was introduced by the EFL to stop clubs agreeing to high transfer fees to be paid in installments and then deliberately defaulting. Either they couldn't meet their obligations when due or just weren't prepared to for some other reason.

City has fallen into this catch-all rule but the circumstances are vastly different with the Sala case than the original reasons for which the rule was intended - hence the appeal.

Still once they discussed whether they were going to pay or not, they must have known the strict time limit and it’s consequences, to then pay after the time limit had passed seems careless.
