Not like you. A real warrior who doesn't need a keyboard to give it large. (Just using one today).

Solid supporting there. Good man. Makes me wish there was a war, just so you could be in the trenches alongside me.

Finally a bit of sanity. We were all right tonight and a lot of positives. Was a good game to watch. HNM looked good. Some panicky play at end when if we had confidence we would have held onto ball.

Exactly. And if there weren’t blips like last night then we would go the rest of the season undefeated which, hopefully, everyone accepts is a little bit unlikely.

The champions' league? Harsh.

Clean sheet!! Remember those.

I actually think it is, yes. Look, in theory, I completely agree that TK should be in the team on ability. I've just got a feeling he wants out, and has for a while. If that's the case, best for all to move on. He's given us a lot and should probably be in a better team at this point in his career.

I just can't agree. He played a lot last season in one of the worst City defences I've ever seen.

He is a very good defender but I just don't think - for us - he is the answer. He wasn't last season, was he. Might be best for everyone to move on.

Disagree with the first part. Cant argue with the second - the fact that people are yearning for Jack Hunt speaks volumes about how City fans are feeling about the team. Queue Tony Dinning and Chris Brunt's legacy being rewritten with reference to Andy King's form.

It really doesn't.

Yeah, good move if it happens. Shame he didn't fancy Atalanta though. Obviously a smaller name but that team is a striker's paradise. A couple of years there and he could have been after a major transfer. And Champions League football too. I read he's an arsenal fan so might be hanging out for that move.

They really aren't.

Ropey last 10 and obviously annoying end but massive improvement. With a few tweaks we will be fine.I thought that was promising.

They are quoting the crown prosecutor. But what the CPS meant by this and what ‘victimless crime’ means in common usage are very different. It’s pretty grim to pull out that quote and base the official club statement on it. from cps website on domestic abuse: ‘’While victims are rightly at the centre of everything we do, the CPS prosecutes on behalf of the Crown and for the good of the wider public. That means we can prosecute domestic abusers without the support or direct involvement of victims through ‘evidence-led prosecutions’ - for example relying on witness accounts or CCTV footage.’’

You buy debt based on amount of debt and the chance of it getting repaid. As has been reported by David Conn, 7m quid of debt was sold for 70k. So basically an assumption that there is 1 in 100 chance of full repayment. However, it was bought by an undisclosed related party (partner of owners daughter) and owner then negotiated the CVA that suddenly reevaluated chances of repayment from 1 in 100 to 1 in 4. Again, undisclosed that a related party was owner of the debt at stake in the CVA Thats about the sum of reporting on this thus far. Basically you tell someone that their house is worth 100 quid so they sell it to your son in law and then when your son in law buys it you immediately value it at 2500 quid without telling anyone who buys it that your son in law will make 2400 quid from your maths

Because a team that doesn’t pay its players should never have been allowed to be promoted.

This. You’ve got to feel for Bury fans but how the EFL have let a team get promoted when they continuously failed to pay their players.... They have to address the way they deal with this. Pay staff late once, get a warning. Next time, 3 point fine. And the next time. And the next time. Teams that stick to rules therefore have playing field evened. EFL seem to want to wait until last possible moment to get involved and then put hands up and say we did everything we could. They didn’t do everything they could because this has been coming for a while and for more than one club. ‘The EFL have worked tirelessly’. Whatever. Maybe in last month. Should have been on it a year ago.
