We're far from being self sufficient, we are still single handedly supported by SL bank rolling the club, as for "Twitter Monkeys" I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, but if you can't see what was wrong with the past few weeks I would find that worrying.

Spike Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 If you don't like other people's opinions or debating them/ arguing with them then why use the Internet at all to discuss football? Football fans are passionate, people who are passionate about something are far more outspoken. Yes, sometimes some will go too far, some will make great points, some will be outright odd but if you're not happy to get all of that then better to just discuss City with your mates off of the Internet IMO. Each to their own and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth can you blame the club for this? They should have announced the decision before it was made? Had they made a decision about Korey before a new coach was in place, people would have been saying football decisions should be made by football people, not administrators! I know people like to blame the club for just about everything at the moment, but blaming them for this is bloody ridiculous.

He didn't say the club had agreed a new contract with Smith. He said, based on what he'd heard, possibly from Korey's agent, that agreement "was getting closer". Not much of a story, and not something the sports editor is going to rush to publish. It may have been written days before it appeared. You save up non-urgent stories for use on weekends in the summer. Then on Friday, they appoint Holden and Dean decides he doesn't have Korey in his plans, but the club do not release this information to the public or press. Result, a story saying KS "closer to a deal" appears in the Post on Saturday morning which KS has to update with the new information. The situation should have been avoided by the club issuing a statement as soon as they took the decision. They decided to let go of our longest-serving player and only belatedly published an appreciation of him three days later, after a storm of criticism for their silence. It is their media department's omission. And yes, Gregor did hold his hands up that he got that story wrong, but sometimes events overtake stories. He can't be at work 24/7. I've no doubt that when he wrote it the club was still in talks with KS and they appeared close to a conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it had been overtaken by events. Things written are not necessarily published instantly. How do you think a newspaper works?

You're ignoring the 99% of things Gregor got right and focussing on the 1% he got wrong, based on erroneous information supplied to him, which he has since apologised for and even contacted Korey directly himself to apologise (as Gregor stated on the OSIB podcast this week). Anyone with half a brain can see that Gregor has been one of the good guys during this whole fiasco, faithfully reporting what he find out without sensationalism or guarantees. He's shown himself to be a thoroughly decent bloke who shows an understanding of the fans viewpoint and a desire to seek answers on the questions we all have. The only other person I can think of who's shown similar empathy for our concerns as fans is Geoff Twentyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have no indication that you are right, it's just a hunch, because - unlike Hughton - Holden has never done this before. As for your first sentence, I'm not sure what relevance Hughton's age is, apart from the massive extra experience he has over Holden. He'd want to bring his own men in, but seeing as our team had failed, that's an advantage. Might have got Ashton's snout out of on-pitch decisions, which would be another advantage. Yes Chris Hughton would cost more than Dean Holden, but if you get promoted you win a £150m jackpot. You might think of it as an investment in order to get a higher eventual return. The Championship looks weaker this coming season than it's been for ages. We were in prime position to take advantage of that. Notice I use the past case "were". We're not now IMO.

I don't buy this. Hughton is a well regarded manager but he isn't Jurgen Klopp. Why is it we can afford to spend £45m on a high-spec stadium rebuild, build a brand new state-of-the-art training facility, spend £8,000,000 on central defenders, receive large transfer fees for our best players....and yet we can't recruit a respected coach with the necessary experience for a promotion challenge - while other comparable teams in the division manage to do just that? Ipswich don't have our money, and yet they managed to employee Mick McCarthy for years - and I'm pretty sure the vast majority of supporters would have welcomed McCarthy with open arms compared to the complete novice we've just appointed. It's arguable that pretty much every other Championship club now has a better qualified and more experienced manager than we do - and many of them have less financial clout than we do. It's a sorry state of affairs and I'm tired of excuses like "we're not Barcelona". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s probably over 25k fans out there who care enough to call it ‘their’ club - but the reality is most of them don’t agree with most of the ridiculous comments on here some people have posted hence the disparity of views v comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but people need to get a reality check on the entire fan base instead of their just mates who want to be part of the alleged majority This is a good point. I’d suggest that there’s a vocal minority on social media that have a rant every two days. Dare I say it their maybe one or two sad sags on there with too much time on their hands. Then they’ll contradict themselves two days later when the dust has settled and they realise we have an England standard coaching set up that might just work. I’m no more uncertain right now than I an before any other season and I hope the majority does what they do year on year, backs the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
