Then what build again? As for the ground how much do we make from it and how much is it costing us to, how much of its matchday and non matchday income goes directly to the club? We share this ground with others and have no control over its inhabitants. Rather have the old ground and proper passion filled footie back any day......progress not imo. Totally agree... its now one mans plaything and where is the fans connection with the club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same old, same old we have endured year on year "fall away" due to transfer window in-activity at the critical stage and in fact a record breaking non winning run of results. The year on year "improvement" will not continue this season imo but the loss of our best players and continuous re-building will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Considering all that has happened at City since 1981, and watching other Clubs with dodgybowners and huge debts, I’m quite happy with a stable Championship Club and a sensible chairman. Big problem with football, fans always want more, think the owner has a bottomless pit of money, believe spending big guarantees success, and don’t grasp realities of FFP.

I have deep concerns about Lee Johnson as whilst he may not be as ‘streaky’ as is popularised, our form just seems to disappear and he doesn’t know why. For all that, I cannot accept that the last couple of years have been mediocre and for much of the 80s,90s and early 00s we were way behind where we currently are. And the issue with our form disappearing keeps recurring. I can understand it happening but would have thought if it had happened once as a manager to your team, you would be better prepared the next time but unfortunately with LJ this is not the case.

Yes but the problem is weve seen a glimpse of how close we are to being promotion contenders. When you get a taste of it you want to see the 10% extra commitment/investment needed to get the team there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some ways I do agree, but sometimes that extra 10% leads to another 10% and before you know it, things are out of control. We will get another chance, and maybe then we will get it right. We are definitely on the right lines, and the stability is a massive bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed- I'm big on FFP, that's before we even consider our history. There are times you have to take that risk though which leads me onto my next point... 2 hours ago, mozo said: Yes but the problem is weve seen a glimpse of how close we are to being promotion contenders.

Only when the time is right and with the FFP scenario- I think January would have been if figures quoted right too, an opportune time to loan Assombalonga- yes £3.5m is quite a lot but remember around £1m of that'd have been wages and if it didn't work he would have been off the books in summer. I'll defend us not pushing further in January 2018 given the FFP risks but this January, a single loan for Assombalonga in the position we were in post the summer 2018 restructure, even at £3.5m? Yeah, go for it...given the wage commitment wouldn't have been with us post summer 2019! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
