  1. Scott's son Jay signs for Taunton!
  2. You mean like the right wing media fanning the flames of culture war non-issues like Nike designing a cross in different colours, whilst in the same week it being announced that the UK now has 12 million people in absolute poverty including 3.6 million children? You have to hand it to them, tragically it works....
  3. Yes. And I strongly suspect things like this are just the tip of the iceberg.
  4. Such a dreadful article though. They've just aggregated a load of TripAdvisor scores. To my knowledge Dave can't even cook paella there at the moment as he doesn't have an extraction system. Plus there's the small issue that the opening hours are "spontaneous" shall we say!
  5. As you can imagine, I respectfully disagree - strongly. I think (know) a large part of the reason they got rid of Nige was his inflexibility and rigidity. They certainly don't have to worry about that with Manning. It's back to Jon playing Championship Manager with his mates and Tinnion back as close as he'll ever get to the hot seat. Depressing.
  6. I think some probably underestimate just how much he (and friends) are involved in the day-to-day running of the club. And have been for 10+ years. He's certainly not doing it against his own will. At the same time I'm sure he doesn't want to be front and centre as he pretty much is now (along with Tinnion). And this has long been the dilemma of the Lansdowns. How to retain absolute control without it appearing so...hence the constant chopping and changing in strategy and personnel. They want someone like Nige with his experience and guile, but also someone malleable they can control like Manning. And the circus continues to circle... round and round we go.
  7. It's all we can do because SL runs City as a dictatorship. I remember many moons ago being in a room when Stu Rogers of the Supporters Trust asked SL if he agreed it would good to have an independent supporters voice on the City board (i.e. someone representing the Trust) to which he replied "me and Jon are supporters of the club, so we don't need anymore supporters voices". Arrogance, hubris, dismissive, and disengaged from reality.
  8. Not at the price Steve wants, no. Because guess what? He wants most, if not all, of his money back. I would rather new owners, yes. Even something like the Man U investment with help from the outside would be very welcome.
  9. No, but I wouldn't even be that bothered about this either if he was very good at what he does. But there's a fair bit of evidence that he is way out of his depth.
  10. They don't need to take any of our advice. Steve has literally put the club up for sale. It's on the market.
  11. Looks like he bought it in Next in about 2007.
  12. He doesn't understand, he doesn't care. He's also not very good at fashion design, and whilst I'm always reluctant to get personal, let's be honest - it's hardly a surprise given the way he dresses. I mean he wears some truly awful items of clothing, most recently at the Liam Manning arrival presser. I mean WTF.
  13. Difficult to put into words how much I hate this club at the moment.
  14. His transfer fee probably paid itself back with that goal against Palace. He scored a good one up at Carrow Road too which I was right behind.
  15. Problem is you aren't exactly a reliable, unbiased source of information on this because GJ humiliated you. Of course there were some players that had an axe to grind with GJ, like Cole Skuse because LJ started ahead of him, but generally GJ built a squad with great team spirit which was often more than the sum of its parts.
