I have no doubt clubs will be taking an interest. Young, exciting, English talent will always be on the radar of prem league clubs. It's more the timing and the fact that the interest has been made public. It's got agent written all over it imho.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this "interest" is the doing of the boys new agent. Good agents (if there is such a thing) tend to be the ones who are more manipulative than others. It's certainly not inconceivable that he/she has waited for the right moment (i.e their client to ping a...

Only the three years then In my defence I have seen/heard city fans questioning AN's tenure following the Brum defeat.. Honest guv!!

So I've noticed Kio. Absolutely nothing wrong with those who's opinions change. As long as they understand at least one of those opinions are wrong Been lurking for a while as I do on most ncfc related forums. More so this one tbh.. which is probably part due to interaction with our friends...

Appologies if I've jumped the gun a touch with regards to my initial comment. I stand by the fact however that football fans generally have become too demanding of their club and expect instant gratification. And City certainly have a fair share of them!

Thank you. Although I still don't agree with the general premise of this thread <ok>

To even suggest AN should be sacked after one defeat is utterly ridiculous. Just proves how fickle the modern football fan has become.

This is fundamentally why I cannot see how Blatter can survive this. The net is closing and its is only a matter of time before one of these weasels blab to the FBI in order to get a leaner sentence

Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration :emoticon-0136-giggl The potential fallout from this though could have massive ramifications within the game. And I honestly believe we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg emerging at the moment.

What is striking about this is the timing! I doubt very much the FBI would be doing this at this time without sufficient evidence to back it up. Lets all hope its the beginning of the end of Blatter and a regime that has been involved in more (alleged) corruption and bribery than the American...

Fair play JWM, that's very gracious of you. It couldnt of been easy watching your closest rivals reach the prem. Especialy given the way it was achieved. I can't speak for every city fan, but, I can say hand on heart I would of reciprocated the gesture had it been the other way round. Good...

AN was always going to play a bit more direct in the first leg and try and match-up with Ipswich in order to keep it tight. Not the first manager to deploy these kind of tactics against more agricultural opponents away from home. Now we've got home advantage I fully expect Hoolahan to start and...

I honestly believe if we get off to a positive (almost bullish) start and zip the ball about like we can then Ipswich will be in for very long afternoon. Setting a high tempo and getting players like Wes and Redmond on the ball high up the pitch and we will create chances. That said there's no...

Funny you should say that Cromer, had a conversation with a scummer just yesterday who told me he had received a banning order for playing his part in smashing up the place years ago!

The problem is the Norfolk constabulary know more about the issue (and previous issues involving Ipswich fans) than any landlord trying to earn a quick buck in the hope nothing goes wrong. You should be allocated an away pub, and as long as its controlled and managed correctly there shouldn't...
