    signings and business in general has been good but not sure he knows what to do when it's not going to plan

    This is another side, yeah.

    The bollocks about 'level playing field' just don't wash.

    The biggest clubs will remain, indeed the standard of the teams just outside may well drop off, if a club like us brought in a real marquee player, on say 80k a week, to balance the books we ned 2 or 3 players happy to take 15-20k, who generally wouldn't be good enough.

    It's a load of cod ****e, basically, I could see City's owners taking UEFA to court and saying 'what gives you the right to stop me investing my own money into a company i own?'

    City are as far from 'living beyond your means' as the tape goes!

    Larsson is right footed mate.

    He's a very decent player, i'll agree on that!

    7 atm but if Gyan leaves 2 :)


    it was meant with humour and irony hence the smiley :) but I obviously failed miserably with my comment lol
    TBH I think Bruce is doing very good job even if Gyan leaves he would have my support

    5/10 for me and here are my reasons why......

    A terrible second half to last season, partly due to the injury crisis, but exacerbated by the squad being too small, also some bizzare tactics and team selections. Too much reliance on the loan system and the fact that he is having to recruit so many new players to the squad is not good management in my eyes. I remember Steve Bruce being interviewed on TV last season, stating that for the start of the next season, he would be looking to only bring in one or two quality signings.

    So why do we find the club having to recruit a minimum of 8 players? Is any other club in the Premier League on a recruitment drive such as ours?

    No.

    and a lucky 5 at that no tactical knowledge whatsoever and baffling substitutions along with the failure to replace Bent and get a LB in for the last 2 seasons. Everyone goes on about the injuries when we were getting beat off Fulham West Brom etc. at SOL, yet no mention of them when we beat Wigan and West Ham.
