    New owner confirmed…

    I agree with this. I seriously think that there is no effect to sell the club. They’ll happily let it run into the ground and rot, if they lose money then so be it as long as their ego isn’t damaged. Starting to think they only time they will be gone is when the club no longer exists. Really is...

    New owner confirmed…

    This will eventually be key I think but not for another 18-24 months. Clubs will borrow more to get themselves out the mess. Those who win promotion or get cash windfalls will benefit and get through it but those that don't will hit very hard times.

    Transfer Rumours Jan 2018 City Transfer Thread

    Looking like Dawson and Kamil are both close to going. That would leave two CB at the club for the rest of the season. 1 of those hasn’t even played for us yet!! Club is a complete shambles!!

    I’ve seen this referenced a lot. Did this actually happen?

    Transfer Rumours Jan 2018 City Transfer Thread

    Save a couple of £100k on transfer and buy someone who might never be able to play again, rather than spending a little more and buying someone who is already playing with a better re-sale value. Ehab logic.

    How many more points this season?

    - 4 more points - 6 goals scored - 23 conceded - Ehab buys a new Range Rover - 26 soundbites from Krusty the clown - 9 wins and 1 defeat for David Meyler on Fifa - Ehab buys a new yacht - Dawson to say in local rag "that we need to stick together and improve" - Meyler suffers shock defeat on...

    SMC groundsmen gone

    Looking at the way it's going I think lots of pennys are about to drop out of Ehabs pocket....

    Match Day Thread England v Slovenia

    They are probably of similar quality but the difference is Italy and Portugal will show up when it matters, we won't. Don't see us advancing past the group stages, no matter who is in our group.

    Match Day Thread Malta v England

    Two big mistakes against Iceland and Wales in the last tournament and questionable against Scotland. Time to move on from Hart and give Butland or Pickford the chance.

    Transfer Rumours City transfers - Summer 2017

    Chelsea still have business to do and won't let them go until they have. I reckon we've been promised them but it'll only happen last minute or when Chelsea have got who they want first.

    Transfer Rumours City transfers - Summer 2017

    I understand the comparisons being made but it's hard to judge the profit on Bruce's spending when the market increases by such an amount each year. The increase in premier league money just blows transfer fees out of the window. Look at Clucas. Same for every player we are buying now. If...

    Transfer Rumours City transfers - Summer 2017

    Where's all these people that were saying we was working on deals for the right players and that's why we wasn't getting players in? Still believe that? Another 15mill in Ehabs pocket.

    Kevin Stewart

    Anybody any ideas what was wrong with Stewart and how long he is out for if it's an injury?

    Astute business men and youth development/transfer policies

    Everything in my post and the one element you chose to reply with is 'every single poster on here bar two knew he was ****ing **** and needed sacking'. Which wasn't even questioned in my post. On that basis it must mean you agree with the **** up of Ehab last summer and the fact Hudds and Elmo...

    Astute business men and youth development/transfer policies

    Hudd and Elmo signed on because of Bruce. I think there was an interview with Elmo who confirmed this and stated how surprised he was once Bruce had gone. Also eluded to the fact that had he known Bruce was going he probably wouldn't have signed it. Either way both players have jumped ship at...
