Buster Footman's T shirt

If Manning is going to be given the summer they have to back him and pay for Twine. We need 2 or 3 quality players this summer to play the way he wants. Twine plus a striker plus an upgrade on Mehmeti (someone who can beat a player but consistently make the correct final ball). None of these will be cheap. There is financial headroom particularly if Conway is sold. The team is under-invested for various reasons over the last 3 years and needs an injection of quality to play this way successfully. We can see the quality that Twine gives us and we won't get away with trying to do it on the cheap. We will try and do it cheaply though. He is their man. They need to back him financially. My hunch is that they won't.

Because the club don't give a flying **** what we think. It is deliberately provocative. Does anyone think it was accidental?. Neither of them are going anywhere unfortunately

Not at Membley then?

Board? We don't have a Board in any normal recognised form. That's half the problem. Just an echo chamber. Really poor corporate governance

I think that is true. However we will need 3 or 4 players of this level to be consistent over a whole season

I agree with this. The problem as I see it and has been mentioned is that to play this system well you need very good players. Look at the difference for example between Russell Martin at Swansea and at Southampton. Same style and processes. Different outcomes. I would argue that the difference is the quality of players in the two sides. To be successful at this level with the style the board want will require us to have more players of the level of Scott Twine. By their nature they will cost, both in fee and wages. Can you really see this regime going out and spending that on 4 or 5 players of that level? We need a Scott Twine 'type' player. Ww currently have the ultimate Scott Twine 'type' player in the man himself. However we are unwilling/unable to afford him. I don't know how we square that circle other than adopting a more pragmatic style. However that is not why LM was employed. The club knew what his style was and have backed it. Let's see if they are really serious or not

I think he has been a great servant but no longer an automatic pick. If it allows us to free up his wages (still probably one of the higher earners) then probably a good time to allow him to move. Assuming we are not planning on offering him a new deal in the summer. May also allow us to offset some of the potential fee fir TGH. Would leave with best wishes from myself.

Or the one who should have put in the planning permission for the 'stand'

Got to be on the cards.....dependant of course on his wage expectations

Would take a point tomorrow. Last minute decision to go as only 45 mins from me and POTD available. Taking the missus, will be her first City game. Performance similar to Friday would be good.

Did it mention whether or not the tannoy was working then?

More of the same unfortunately. I had untold issues last season between games not being available and when they were the quality being poor or no sound etc. I would much rather have paid bcfc to watch this but have opted for IPTV going forward

Heard his first signing will be out of contract Sean Mccarthy

And we had Terry Cooper to help rebuild. Last manager we had that made a bigger contribution than NP
