  1. Great to hear of a top official being impartial then.
  2. This, 100%. Need our fan base to really put on a show of protest against the owners and what they've done. Lying to us fans, treating us like mugs, spouting BS and hiring mediocre in high positions (JL, BT, LM..) Enough is enough. Definition of insanity, doing the same thing and expecting different results. We can't complain if we keep renewing, giving into the 'real fan' idea, and hitting them where it hurts, the pocket. Protesting and staying away doesn't mean you're any less of a fan, it shows you care greatly about your club and you've had enough. A decision that absolutely is NOT taken lightly, and it angers me that it seems this is the only way to get through to them (other than bedsheets/chants at games but this realistically isn't going to happen sadly, not with our fan base now) The arrogance and bullshit that's come from this club is astonishing, and it angers me greatly that not long ago, we were all united as one, heading in the right direction, being able to see what's happening with the team and the reasons for it, felt like we were in safe hands, with someone with vast experience at this level and beyond, who didn't suffer fools gladly. Now we have BT and LM. Great. With JL leading the way as chairman. I've never felt so detached from this club I love. And the increase in ST's just tops it off.
  3. I very much enjoyed listening to this caller on Talksport...
  4. Right, now THAT'S wierd...
  5. Think it's more a case of showing a bit of respect to posters that have been here years, rather than being a bit of a dick tbh. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the patronising comments (what are you, a parrot?) after only just joining are unnecessary. Being fond of a previous manager because they brought togetherness, a vision and could see progress, along with calling a spade a spade, isn't wierd at all. It's appreciating what you've got/had and he was ousted because of egos at the top (Tins and Lansdowns). The treatment of NP was uncalled for, and the football he gave us deserved a new contract, but instead he got sacked. And now we have Manning. And we were then given the line 'top 6' which is why some will never forget or forgive that, despite some posters best attempts to silence them, trying to belittle and say they 'crave' attention. No, they just want to fall in love with football and their club again.
  6. No offence but that's nonsense. It was far from crap under Pearson. We had some poor games, but it wasn't crap. The football was alright, we were competing against pretty much all teams we played against. And at least we gave it a go and had a plan. He worked brilliantly with what little he had. And what little the board gave him in terms of finances and backing.
  7. I think it's great what they've done tbh, owners that listen to the fans and have made the entire area much happier and boosted the local economy loads. Don't get the hate.
  8. They're now suing McKay for information about his involvement in the transfer. Jeez. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13056388/emiliano-sala-cardiff-city-suing-football-agent-willie-mckay-five-years-after-plane-disaster
  9. Celebrating a round cup win many moons ago with a full on 'anniversary' is pretty cringe. If we won the cup, absolutely. But we didn't get anywhere near it.
  10. That's pretty impressive to be fair. Isn't it a bit 'late' to be getting a Christmas tree though? Lovely gesture. Would never in a million years happen here sadly!
  11. Thought you weren't allowed to do this and would then get a subsequent ban...?
  12. Top 6 remember... Never forget what our insightful hierarchy have told us, and relieved our previous manager as he wasn't 'enough'. Utter shite.
  13. It's unreal ain't it. This coming from someone who says she's stepped away from watching us, but also says our football under Pearson was awful. Any stick to try and beat Pearson with, she'll use it. Not everyone is happy with this appointment, and rightly so. We had a manager in place, and have been lied to by the board. By their own admission, it's gotta be top 6 or this guy is out. Otherwise their lies and BS is exposed even further.
  14. I'm so done with our club right now. Need a new owner with both Lansdowns gone along with Tinnion. Feel so disillusioned with City it's unreal, and it's all because of our owner and the stupid decisions he makes regarding our managers time and time again.
  15. Think I need a lie down. Since Pearson was wrongfully sacked, all things football-related, I've actually agreed with you Riaz. The interviews stink. Lansdowns have stunk the place out. How on earth has a man with no credentials been given the role of chairman? And how has tins got the director role?? And we have NO CEO, but we're told by the owners son, we don't need one? Riiiiight. I'm still in shock with how bad the past couple of weeks have been for our club. We're going to make the same mistakes over and over again with these clowns at the helm. I've had mates ask me who I want in as a manager. My response has been, what does it matter? These guys are the ones pulling the strings. We had a great manager in charge, but his face didn't fit. So unless it's a yes man, they won't be happy. And if its rotten at the top, then it doesn't matter who is beneath them.

    He’s gone.

    I'm absolutely livid at this. **** both the Lansdowns. Get out of our club. Best manager we've had in a long time, selling our best players, and not giving any back whilst letting Ashton and Co run wild with our finances. Jon is an absolute disgrace of an appointment, which screams nepotism, something we've had a problem with previously (remember when LJ wouldn't get dropped in Midfield?) Utterly disgraceful decision. Genuinely angry and really annoyed at this. The club has finally tipped me over the edge with this one. Another in a long list of ridiculous mistakes the hierarchy have made. We need new ownership. SL & JL = GET OUT OF OUR CLUB.
  17. £70ish for the year I think, £20 for VPN. Less than the cost of 1 months sky sports that's for sure! And that's for all channels, films, TV shows and PPV, along with all prem/football league.
  18. Thanks to those who reached out and replied. Guessing I wasn't quick enough with deleting or editing my post ? but as you can probably tell, was feeling really down. Just reading the replies has actually helped, reading that others have struggled in similar situations, similar thoughts etc, means a lot so thanks for sharing and also caring. Some nice words said, so thank you ?
  19. He is a lesser player. He's the worst one there imo. Maybe not on the pitch, but off it, but my god, what we've all seen and heard, he can rot in the lowest of all leagues. Sadly he's been picking up £70k a week or whatever all this time, so no matter what happens, he's made for life and probably doesn't give a shit what Man Utd do.
  20. Exactly this. But what will happen is, SL will part ways with NP, saying the club needs to go in a new direction etc etc, when actually Nige has done an incredible job with pretty much one arm tied behind his back given FFP and the mess the club was in when he took over. And instead, SL will back someone else, who isn't proven and has never been promoted from the championship. Groundhog day. Starting to get tedious, especially when you can see the cycle. We've got the manager, facilities, youth etc, now is the time to back our manager. He should be given new contract and backed IMO.
