The ones that Bruce decided to sign? If thinking Hernandez was worth signing isn't a decision worthy of criticism then I don't know what is.
Pure hindsight that mate, cast your mind to the first few games when he looked like a world beater, same with n Doye
He really didn't. He scored on his debut and a lot of people went over the top. His second gane away at Newcastle he was particularly ****e. N'Doye is a good player, so I don't blame Bruce as much for that one. He just can't be arsed half the time, but he was a gamble we had to take once we were already in the ****. It was the summer that did it, and our summer transfer policy was mental.
I think it's time to say, what's done is done, can argue about manager mistakes versus players who couldn't give a **** until we are blue in the face. The way I see it is that if we aren't close to the top six come Christmas then Brucey needs to step aside, or even if we do go straight back up we will need a different manager for the top flight. If he did offer his resignation then maybe it should have been accepted.
Thing is, if you didn't know anything about City and the **** that's been going on and you read that snippet you'd think to yourself, you know what, that guy knows what he is talking about and they've got a decent set up there and look ready for cracking the championship. Shame we do know about the **** that's been going on.
£3.5 million profit from the sale of Tom Ince, not bad since he's hardly played for us. Whether it was sensible to have a clause in the loan agreement with Derby County that meant we had to sell him is another matter. At least we should have the opportunity of watching Tom Ince is in the championship twice next season. He's bound to score against us. We will see how sensible our owners are when the transfer window closes. We'll see how safe they were when their reign ends.
Managers are the ones who are supposed to have foresight, they are paid to have that. As well as motivational skills and tactical awareness.
Well they will know far more than anyone on here that is for sure. A good article actually all things considered. imo.
When Allam bought the club in November 2010 we were in the Championship, the attendance before he bought the club was over 21000 and we were around £30 million in debt - now we are in the Championship, the attendance is likely to be around 15000 and the debt around £50 - £70 million - hardly safe hands - more like a total ****ing mess
Plus the club has destroyed its relationship with its landlord. And created divisions in the fan base that are unprecedented. And made the club look foolish on the international stage. Yeah, safe hands ...
I think it's safe to assume if there's ever a book written on how not to run a football club, the Allams will be in it. If I write it, they'll be on the cover.
What's that smell of piss, stale cabbages and bitterness? Oh, look, its Charon, Castro, OLM and Al. The club is STILL in a better place now, even with relegation from the PL than when the Allams rode in and saved us. I know you'll never admit that. I accept that. Your whiny posts reeking of made up cold hard facts, with sprinklings of your knowledge on how to run a football club, mixed with much bitterness and topped off with wild guesses for the future just make me laugh.
Which facts were made up? The fact we are now more in debt than when he took over? Pray tell us then how much less we owe. When he took over we had just got over 21,000 in the Championship. So, how many more do you expect next season? Do you know what facts are, especially cold, hard ones?
City was in more than 30m of debt before the allam takeover. Allam had put 30m just keep the club alive at the time plus 10m in personal guarantees plus extra for outstandings transfer fees.
Yep he saved the club and now he is destroying it. He has completely split the fan base and turned supporters away from our club, because of what a stupid spat with the council. Still what a top bloke ey
