Both recent games against them I thought we were the better side - especially the recent Friday night game - but we got schooled by them earlier in the season by all accounts. Funny how it changes so much in a relatively short space of time.

Was a great night out. Clubhouse back at the Creek was good fun afterwards as well! Sore head this morning but very much worth it. Looking forward to Monday now. Fantastic season though whatever happens.

All this talk of Boards and investment reminds me. I saw Scudamore on Saturday after the game and he was with someone who very very very much looked like the old Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck. Probably something and nothing but struck me as a little weird that BB would want to take in City v Rotherham on a Saturday afternoon even if he is good mates with Scudamore.

Yep. And with parachute payments when they come down.

They will be there though. That’s all that matters.

Just think it’s a completely unnecessary sly little dig which has no substance and just comes across as rude and patronising. Feeds the feeling of dislike and distrust towards him amongst those of us who have concerns. Ultimately does him no favours whatsoever.

Yep. It’s exactly how it continues to feel unfortunately.

Just actually listened. Key thoughts / takeaways for me (without going over Manning again) - Says he should've communicated better before Pearson was sacked (‘before the event happened’) What does he think he should’ve said exactly in the run up to that ‘event’? - Mentioned it’s the fans club. At least he’s learnt there from his dad’s huge mistake. Whether he means it or not who knows. - Board and roles just sounds a complete and utter muddled mess. But he doesn’t seem bothered. - Who are the ‘experts’ he refers that he confides and gets info from that feeds his decisions about running our club? His mates as referenced on here before? Again just sounds extremely haphazard. - Clearly doesn't want to spend much money…. Was pushed about it but seemed reticent. Same old ‘HPC is the attraction, the coach is the attraction’…. ‘We need to be seeing value others don’t see’. Another summer of penny pinching then and hoping for the best. - Clearly doesn’t want to spend on Twine either. Fair enough with me but that position will need money whether it’s Twine or someone else. - Realistic about the reasons for improvement in attendances. Fair play. - ‘Promotion is still the focus’. Attitude doesn’t say that to me though. Sounds meaningless as per. - Wants ‘fans to feel part of it’…..no explanation as to how though. I’m not seeing anything changing here. - Referenced fans ‘playing football manager’ in summing up. Why did he have to say that? Fans in the main completely understand we don’t sign the ‘best players on the most money’ - it’s just a ***** move by him and a shame to end the interview that way. Mostly just pointless waffle then and I can’t say I’m any more enthused or confident after listening to him but I guess I didn’t think I would be so it’s as you were!

I can confirm you are not!

Really?

What’s triggered this sudden interest in atmosphere by the club? And how will supporters be able to feed in. Is it going to be an open and transparent process?

Any decent employer would’ve given him the time and space to get better if that is what was needed. We had cover and could’ve got more if needed. Let’s not pretend City have done him any favours whatsoever here.

Ahhhh sorry - ignore me

Blimey - you think that many? Interesting summer ahead if so!

Takes one to know one I guess!
