Show Me The Money! Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 1 hour ago, Matthew me said: As stated before, I believe SL and JL genuinely want the best for city. I don't question their intentions. What I do question is the arrogance to think they're best placed to pick a football manager. SL wouldn't let one of the city squad suddenly pick shares and investments for his business... So why would a financial expert be the best person to know who's a good manager and who's not? MA has ran football clubs, but not a football man through and through. My frustration relates to the fact we don't have key top level football people running the show. We have financial experts... And Mark. Surely, the two signings we need now are a good manager and someone who knows the game inside out... Connections, experience I do agree with what your saying to a large extent but you are becoming a little bit of a broken record now. All we can do is wait for someone to finally be announced and we can all winge and moan from there. Ultimately the club could possibly be run a little better but for the most part I think we are on the right tracks considering the club’s stature historically and financial level FFP wise.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 53 minutes ago, Matthew me said: Pathetic because I have an opinion? Wow, that's a narrow view. Let's just all pretend everything is ok Well, it’s a pretty bizarre suggestion that a family which has plugged millions of pounds into a football club shouldn’t have a say in who the manager is. Hardly arrogance, mate, normal business practice. And do you really think they would make an appointment without getting an opinion from trusted contacts within football? Steve Lansdown should be a hero to City supporters - it’s quite extraordinary some of the negative comments that are made about him. It’s hard to understand what more people would want in a majority shareholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very happy with the job MA has done with the goals he has been set. Do you think he has done anything wrong within the direction he has been set by the board and owner?

Nothing has changed so far in respect of management since the topics you've created in the last few weeks. You created a topic saying you would be dissulusioned with a manager like Mick McCarthy then two days later started another topic critizing the board saying we haven't got Chris Hughton or Mick in yet and what a disgrace. Now your back on about the board again with a new topic moaning about their manager selection and decision making when they've not even announced the decision in the first place. It's fine to voice your opinion and even become critical but maybe stop jumping the gun and see what pans out. @Matthew me it’s probably worth commenting on the existing threads....that’s what I’m trying to say. We all repeat ourselves, me included, but I try to keep it within existing threads. Most threads go off in a tangent anyway, so there’s always a relevant thread.

I would be critical if Mick was the manager, but as a DOF with great links, I'd be ok with that.

Bedred31 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Beginning to think that the identity of the new boss is irrelevant, compared to the question of timing. The imperative, in other words, is to allow whoever it is to say plausibly: “ Don’t judge me until I’ve had 3 windows and a full pre- season with the lads”.

bcfc01 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Most league clubs return to pre-season at the end of this week or next week. Not a lot of time to get someone in now and the longer it goes on, the more I think that Dean Holden will be given the job on a short term contract.

bcfcnick Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Disappointed not to see Arne Slot higher than 40/1 in the betting stakes. He’s my choice. It’s a bonus that his sides play exciting, winning attacking football and he seems likeable. More importantly, his name makes the best anagrams. ‘Real Snot’ being just one of many.

That’s it! I knew it had a familiar feeling. Every name that comes up, half are for him, half are against.
