McCann has possibly the worst record in Championship history at one club, someone is about to pay £30m to buy the club and some seriously think he might stick with him?

he has to go, he will always be remembered for taking City down to Div 1 in 24th place & one win against lowly Barnsley is not going to stop him repeating it again this season.
Saying that my concern is bringing in a manager with no previous experience of managing in The Championship. Leonid Slutsky had an impressive record managing CSKA Moscow & look how that turned out!!

I’m not sure it quite said that did it?
I’d assume he could still be ‘in control’ on his own (which I think is what it said without checking?) but still have a consortium in the background?

My understanding when I read that was that Acun would still remain the figurehead but the financiers would want to flip the club to other financiers. Same face, different backers.

It didn't matter who was in charge, we were going down regardless. Had Adkins stayed, he'd have taken us down too, but he had the good sense to jump ship as he'd rebuilt his reputation. He completely ****ed it with his spell at Charlton though.

That relegation season was so bad because we were in touching distance of the play offs in Dec. We'd been in decline for years and we were heading to L1.

Like everyone else , v excited about the likely new owner and have for some time thought the manager needs to go, but now find myself thinking I might not rush into changing the manager, especially for someone with no experience of this league. When we win, as on Saturday, I think the team needs evolution not revolution and maybe McCann can turn it round after all. Really want the change of ownership asap but maybe if we do have to wait for 3-4 weeks we'll know for sure whether he really can build on Saturday's result. Would be v interesting, if Ilicali did see the Barnsley game, to know what he made of the team.
Are you a WUM as you keep suggesting we think about keeping McCant. He has to go, now.
 
Do we think Baz has had contact with Ilicali/his people, and this means they are getting ready for a massive PR campaign to get the fans onside?

I mean, that's what he should be doing, so if it is the case, thumbs up from me

Almost certainly, even if it’s just a middleman, some one is feeding him the information
