    You reckon the players found out when the tweet went out? <laugh>

    No, I would think they'd have been told as soon as there was nothing riding on the season.

    Cos that's the best thing to do for them, whilst protecting the integrity of the squad when it still potentially mattered.

    Like some sort of best practice professionalism, which most competently run organisations would employ?

    Otherwise known management 101?

    F*cking hell it's Norwich. Castro's gonna be all over this.

    Couldn't you have found another example?

    I've been careful not to slag the players. Only that Joseph isn't worth 2,5 m and Puerta isn't worth 3.5.

    Which they aren't.

    The ones who are still trying are still trying.

    But a lot know they're off, so they won't be running the extra yard, stretching that extra inch or putting their bodies on the line.
    They'll be focussed on getting to summer and then their next move.

    Yeah ,I thought that too, but still wondered why it was structured that way and Ehab retained some sort of honourary title at the club. Some say he paid for it though.


    It's unsustainable in L1.

    That's my concern. I'm a lot less concerned if we stay up. Then it's managed decline to the point it's saleable.

    L1 could potentially be chaos if we continue to be managed the way we have been through an asset disposal process.

    We aren't coming well out of that.

    Well nothing has happened yet we are not relegated so it’s not worth worrying about we can’t change it.

    Yes which is why we'd sell 6-8 players. <doh> we will also have relegation wage cuts in contracts.

    Every cloud....

    You think?

    This is Acun, and some in the hierarchy only took relegation as a serious possibility last week.

    No, I'm not kidding.

    Yes it's standard practice. Just as they'd have promotion clauses.

    What's standard about City?

    Some might,

    But given we've just triggered Puerta for 3.5m I'm not filled with confidence.

    There's something unpretentious about it.

    Pies, Bovril, pisstrough, open terrace

    Smell of grass, can see the blood, can get right in the lineo's ear.

    What's not to love?

    Think they bulk bought it from British rail when it got privatised and it's been left in a corner sweating under the laundry pile for 30 years.

    Could have chosen either depending on formal or informal given the context of where I'm actually posting.

    But thought that giving a de-facto invite to Castro earlier to scrutinize, I thought I'd make an effort.

    Between you, I and Syd; in terms of grammar, you're the most ****ed.

    But then, I know you don't give a f*ck anyway.

    Nice to catch-up though Grandpa.

    Until next time.

    Kisses.

    What’s this west stand rumour doing the rounds? Is it the we’re going bust one or what? Sorry if I’ve missed an explainer.
