  1. Absolutely. It's the model. Not worth investing. Buy potential, develop your own , sell on. Ensure you have a mid table side with the potential to have a good season if things fall into place, but don't overinvest. Ensure the main businesses ( Bcfc & Bears) have high costs which probably appear as an income in the holding company's accounts. He's making it pay. Trouble is with City that changing a competent manager who will deliver on this and replacing with a student of the game with no real understanding of the wider aspects of a club is risking the mid table turning into relegation. I think Manning has 2 games to get a win or we're looking at a new coach for the international break.
  2. Glad someone else noticed Sykes asleep 20 yards from his man
  3. Yep. But that was against Raith Rovers and Cutters Choice vets
  4. I am trying to hold back about him, hoping I will be proved wrong, but, he's brainless. Athlete but poor football brain. Makes dumb decisions all the time. Promise you he does Vyner's head in.
  5. City players in playing much better on TV shock..
  6. Should get Tubby to do it. I'd watch
  7. The Bard

    BT

    Very generous use of the word probably there Royston.
  8. Cracker this week https://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2024/mar/05/david-squires-on-mark-clattenburg-nottingham-forest-dropped-ball-furore
  9. International break after West Brom
  10. Basic laws of supply and demand. Low supply with high demand. Means price ( or in this case qualifying criteria) go up.
  11. Going occasionally enables you to see the direction of travel clearer. A bit like seeing a fairly distant relative after 3 years and thinking "they've aged/put on some timber "
  12. Sheff U were shite last season I thought. Didn't understand how they got up. Obviously repeated the trick of winning 1 0 despite being terrible a few times. Burnley were great at dominating at our level but they aren’t managing that in the Prem.
  13. If a selection of players maybe James, Naismith, Vyner, Wells Contacted Steve Lansdown to advise that it's a s***show, what do you suppose would happen? Did Steve pick Manning?
  14. 'I've told you already ' seriously? **** Imagine what Matty James thinks of him?
  15. One look from Nigel Pearson would be more effective than any number of angry Manning and Johnson talking tos
  16. We need Tanner at right back tomorrow. Mcrorie is unconvincing defensively.
  17. Think he played him on the left because he didn't think him and Mcrorie would work. He is a great player in front of Tanner for sure but Mcrorie leaves the Right back position to overlap, so, I guess Manning wants someone at right mid whose first instinct is to come inside.
  18. Which is the key to making the academy work. For every Alex Scott there's a Sam Pearson.
  19. Jeese that's depressing. You've articulated exactly why we're going to struggle ongoing.
