    I'd like to see Coventry promoted. Mark Robins has done a great job there.

    Imagine Mark taking them to Old Trafford next season. After Coventry win he would be in line to become their manager.

    I remember the days of Micky Quinn and Peter Ndlovu very well indeed.

    "I'd never move on because of - without being rude - a few divorcees in a snake pit abusing me," said Webber.


    Any criticism of Webber means you are an angry divorcee.

    Also all abuse is unacceptable <doh>

    He's certainly not making it any better, but then neither are those opposed to him.

    I didn't notice much hostility at the embarrassing Blackpool home defeat , Pukki was given a great send off & the players were applauded as they walked around the pitch at the end .

    Webber comes over as very arrogant & fragile .

    Branding the snake pit as divorcees probably won't win over many fans that feel short changed by the club .

    Personally I quote enjoy the way Webber talks, he tackles a lot of the questions that people have wanted addressing in the recording if people would give him a chance and actually listen, rather than taking a snippet from it and getting upset about it. Webber was typically bullish, as he was when he first came in - we loved him for it, but he was also a lot more humble in this one as well I thought.

    Hostility was reported on the PinkUn at the time, it was said that after Pukki was cheered off, the attentions moved to chants aimed at Webber

    He's a typical crybully.

    Picks silly fights with local media & fans then plays the victim .

    Most of his signings were flops he failed just admit it & he would probably get more respect

    Did he create it or did people take his comments out of contact and attack him for them.

    God forbid with hindisght he appoints a manager that doesn't work out.

    Who's your ideal Sporting Director? Good luck finding Mr Perfect

    Have you listened properly or turned off after 5 mins? He did admit mistakes this season, you clearly don't like him and aren't prepared to give him a chance, despite overseeing 2 promotions in 5 years and punching above our weight financially, just happy to pick out comments that fit your agenda to attack him by.

    Someone did a breakdown on Webber's signings & rated them as failure & success .

    Tens of millions of pounds possibly hundreds , that's what he's employed to do .

    I've never seen him admit he got anything wrong but very quick to blame the fans & call them names .

    He's supposed to serve the fans not the other way round, they are just consumers to him

    You think he's great ok that's your opinion , do we all have to agree with you & never criticise Webber ?

    You sound like a cult member.

    After 2 promotions in 5 years we are skint & back to square 1 finishing in our lowest position in 5 years having to sell our best players & no I'm not divorced

    I think it was Michael Bailey, I believe someone mentioned it on here, haven't read it to be honest and I suppose is pretty subjective. How did they define failure?

    Not a chance we have spent "hundreds" of millions in the past 6 years, possibly 1 hundred and I would imagine we are in net profit for transfer business, just a guess.

    Quoted figures Webber states have been over estimated, he says that Klose is still out record signing as a club.

    Maybe listen again and you could hear him admit to making mistakes and failure this season.

    Failure as in buying a player & selling them at a loss & paying high wages for loaness that come in already injured & add zero value.


    With transfer fees & wages he spent way over £100m since he arrived.

    Pukki & Buendia were great business most of the others are being released for free or at a loss not many have increased in value .

    Sara at £10m will probably turn a profit can't think of many others attracting much interest .

    Giving both Farke & Smith pretty long contracts that we are still paying was also very expensive
