    Do they get to pick this 'Premuer' League Team,or will you be allocating on a first come/first served basis?

    Nothing to stop him doing anything crazy or dropping us like a stone, but he's not done it yet...

    I think Selles is “ last chance saloon” for Ajun. He has gone back to a thinking man with tactics and a plan from a country that has real students of how to play football.
    He needs time and real backing in the transfer window. Ajun needs to move into the background and stop flying around looking like a guy who is “ mad as a box of frogs”.
    It’s going to be a tough second half of the season but we are going to just have to hang on in as we are where we are now.
    Survive this season and hope in 3 years time Selles is still our manager.

    Absolutely. Cutting prices for fans? Terrible decision. Reinstating concessions? What an absolute bastard.

    Any owner with an ounce of sense would have done those things just as quickly. They were low hanging fruit and a quick win for anyone that came in.

    You can glaze acun all you want to. His legacy will see is in league one and he'll sell up. Doomed from the start with him.

    Crazy to think a couple of draws into wins last year and we could have been on Match of the day last night . Now people want Longman in the team again and miss the Allams …. Love supporting City , it’s mental

    Always liked 'clusterfuck' as it captures the emotion.

    Don't mind Longman though. He gets a lot of unnecessary stick and isn’t half as bad as many make out. Didn’t go missing yesterday like the rest of the team did he?

    He definitely seems to be improving game on game.

    He had a good pre season, but looks to be getting back to it after the injury. He's still lacking a bit of confidence (shame he didn't score) and I'd like to see him go at his man more but he's looking decent and he always works his bollocks off.

    One of not many who's prepared to put a shift in. Even one of those we've come to love for giving it 100%, seem as if he's decided to call time on City. That and he's always been L1 quality, but we're in denial.

    Anyone who thinks Ryan Longman is the problem ain't watching this team very closely.

    He's probably in a minority of one now who can create space for himself and get in a shot that threatens the goal. He tries his best and that's all most football fans want to see.

    But I doubt his best is good enough
    He got a lot of abuse before and he was definitely trying then too
    He’d be nowhere near a starter without the injuries to Belloumi and Millar

    I agree he's in the team because of injuries and he's not one for the next level, I'm comparing him to others at the moment who have a problem trying to run past defenders and get a shot close to goal. Shots on target are clearly a major concern right now.

    Sinik, Longman, Jarvis and Pedro are out-of-contract at the end of this season. Coyle, Slater, Jones, McLoughlin, Andy Smith, Vaughan, Simons and Alzate are all out-of-contract at the end of next season.

    Out of all of them, the only ones whose contracts I’d consider extending are Simons, Alzate and possibly Jones. Simons is dependent on if he improves, Alzate if he does well when fully fit and sharp and Jones purely as a squad player/depth.

    The rest I’d be glad to see the back of when their contracts expire. Not good enough.

    I couldn't find the Cooper article but this might explain how and why we were/are running at a loss.

    The sell on fee would apply regardless of who we sold him to. So even if he had gone to Ipswich, Villa would still have got their cut, meaning we would receive the same monies.

    131%!!!
    I imagine the wage bill for last season was even higher
    Hence the fire sale this summer
