I’d just like to apologise to everyone. My daughter has never seen the City win in 15 years..I have, in recent years discouraged her from attending. She has just texted me to say she is going with friends. I have offered her £100 to stay in the centre and enjoy herself instead of coming to the gate….alas she has declined my offer?

in short, if people don't want to be involved you ship them out, the creation of a poison pool is ridiculous ,as anyone competent in management would tell you.. It also reminds me of the school remedial groups that were abundant in the 70s. As ever, someone needs tp sense check his words before they fall out of his mouth!

Not a clue!!! So what he does is create and intensify a negative sub culture whist promoting a separate "yes men group"... Sounds like he bases his style on the Chinese re-education programme.... Organisational culture development is gained through cohesive ethos and expectation expressed via effective and justified communication. Little Lee loves the culture of the Hero Leader...because anything else is probably beyond his range of experience (look unto the Father my son) and intellectual ability...observing training with the military was probably wasted on him once he got past the parade ground....

encapsulates my feelings to a tee...Thank you for posting such a succinct and accurate appraisal of that ****'s time at AG...

I am, used to sit 4 rows in front of me, used to be full of stars and Mr Scott from ITN ????- I hasten to add that these were not trouble makers/seat throwers/pitch invaders or punch throwers...

Was there? I had a ticket in B Block from the season they started building on the Open End circa 93 until 2017, I remember standing a bit, but never all the time. Certainly it was a very vocal section and the area of choice for many naughty boys, ee out of Massive attack and ee off the telly!

Really sad news, I used to work in a school next to Chelsea's training ground when Luca was Manager. He gave generously of his time and spirit. I was lucky enough to have many chats with him when he came round to spend time with the kids, he was a truly gentle man...a great loss

Exactly, the nepotistic Gary and his idiot son (who kept far more talented players out of the play-off side) have been the biggest mistakes made by SL, regardless we are a championship club with great facilities, hope, stability and potential - it's a package, not individual elements. I'm getting cheesed off by the Landsdown haters, a bunch of entitled dimwits with no right to expect and no brain to debate!

only 11, I counted at least 10,000 in the second half to stop me from falling asleep

I doubt Wells contract on its own will make much difference, The 3 year FFP deficit might be an issue in the short term, however, moving forward, should an owner decide to inject cash, and I'm not for one minute suggesting/demanding that SL should invest further, then it should not be an issue - if someone does not, then you are absolutely right, we'll have to sell and prey!

I think the club is at a cross roads, if the owner wants to push into the Prem, then some big money will have to be spent, Brentford style promotions are the exception, not the rule. If the club is to stay safe in the Championship(in the hope that a "lucky season" might come along (as happened with Daddy Johnson)) , then the Babby Johnson/Ashton legacy will have to be undone, which will cost money. In short, SL picked the wrong people to spend his money, a couple of unproven chancers. I'm sure he knows what they did and what's required to fix it. I guess it's a question of whether he wants to resource it and put in the effort required. After all, it's his money, there's no way that kind of revenue could be raised by supporters/commercial activity. Which might well explain the silence. I'm with you on the current performances, lacking spirit and excitement....probably due to a lack of purpose

Reflecting back over the past 50 odd years, I'd say the stability and continual improvement provided under the Landsdowns is unprecedented at this club. From 76 things went down hill(and let's be honest, things over the previous 60 years had been pretty average). We did not invest in future players, but tired old has beens. The board did not look at sustainability and we ended up at rock bottom. From that point we scrambled out of the 4th division and were a division 3 team, with short lived bursts into the second for nearly 20 years, apart from a couple of seasons the fare was shite delivered by an army of average players- with the odd exception. Since 2002 we have had stability, now we have expectations, decent facilities and some hope, if they are a pox, what the hell have rovers got? Some people have shady memories or have not been around AG long enough

Not really, given the way we are playing!

Gerrard = Lee Johnson on Steroids..... out of a frying pan into a deep fat fryer scenario.....

Well, we must have a massive Welsh support then if the large number of fans exiting the away end straight after the game were ours

Yes, I spent a happy 20 mins at the top of Coronation Rd waiting for our and their young lads to move on, some so young I doubt they'd sprouted pubes yet!

"Apparently our toilets have took a beating again, heard this is from a mate who supports the swans..." Probably because so many of their pufa jacketed fans were so full of shit!

I presume the blue tarp covered construction to the right is the urinals (Glastonbury cast offs)

I'm not sure this statement meets equality regulation, you seem to have made a generalisation that does not include all protected characteristics! Can I suggest you remove any gender specific reference?

Thank you, some very interesting views and presumptions to consider/research.

I respect your view, however, one of the main justifications for the monarchy has always been “the amount of revenue they generate” which is a pure estimate, one might ask how much they take out of the economy ? FYI the vast majority of schools, circa 73%, are not C of E schools, of the circa 27% that are C of E, the majority are purely housed in buildings that are owned by the church. I fear King Charles will not generate as much cash as his mother for the country, perhaps he should subsidise his existence from the massive revenue he has leached out of the Duchy of Cornwall!

Is that a recreation of the Blue Few's premature celebration @ Wycombe in 2014?

1964… 58 inglorious years….

????? Well, you could always substitute a,b,c and d and not worry about the order...TBA the equation is for those striving to solve the answer, so not Gas

Jeff got it wrong, Gas logic equates as z(n= x+y) x being the reported number in the ground, y being a random locked out number and z being any retrospective number applied to substantiate a ridiculous claim (which the sagger could not calculate anyway)
