I obviously have no idea....but i can see Players like Kelly and Webster, and even Brownhill moving, and one at least of Massengo, Semenyo or Scott...............even Weimann leaving. So that will stir the financial pot?

Mmmmm......we will see come November/December of next season if it was the right decision to retain Pearson? As for being hamstrung during the off (Close) season if Pearson should go, I don't quite grasp your logic? However, as Pearson is here, and will be here for at least the next 6/7 months, it's a moot point.

I agree...what is the point in giving Pearson the window, and then getting rid? If it was up to me, I would get rid of Pearson right now, with 6 games left, as we are safe. But that is obviously difficult and problematic? Anyway I would still do it, IF i had a young forward thinking coach lined up, BUT this is Bristol City, so if Pearson walked out of the door tomorrow, the powers that be, would almost certainly have no contingency plan in place............this is Bristol City for pheck sake? When do we ever plan ahead? So Pearson stays, BUT after 12 games we still look disorganised, and retain all the faults and problems that exisisted previously, so what do the Lansdowns do? Bite the bullet, and wait to see if it improves, or realise that we are going nowhere fast, and change the manager? i am just playing devil's advocate here, and looking at the various scenario's that may play out? I sincerely hope that Pearson gets it right in the summer, and to an extent turns things around,... ... even though i do not rate him, and would like him to go, but it is all about the team, and not my personal preferences. The comings and goings, transfers and recruiting will be massive, we just all hope it works out, and that we can watch & enjoy some decent football?

It is a really massive summer for Pearson........he HAS to get it right, City fans deserve better, for their tremendous loyalty and support? With the economic situation and the cost of living biting peoples pockets, fans will want some excitement and value for money. Season ticket sales will almost certainly take a hit, as people prioritise their expenditure, so a massive dose of optimism and expectation is needed close season, and City and Pearson need to deliver? Fans look at Luton and Forest etc, and it is no wonder they get frustrated, when they see the fantastic facilities, infrastructure and potential of our club, and the big mess that we have created on the one place that really counts.............the playing field. We need a plan and positive way forward, so it is absolutely imperative that we wheel and deal in the transfer market, to bring in physically strong talent that has character and ability, and essentially leadership and pride. Pearson has until November/December to get it right, or he will be out of the door IMHO. I wish him well.

Good on you, I would always support anyone who tries to do something creative. It might help if you did a bit of reading, regarding composition, the rule of thirds, and photographic history. You will see a big difference, and it can make the most mundane subject come alive?...............i don't mean this to be patronising, just think it will help?

only 86 mins to hang on.......

Just saw the highlights from the El Classico on Football Focus in front of an Incredible 90k fans.........out of the 7 goals, a decent keeper would have saved 5 of them. I am all for women's football, and long may it prosper. But i could never pay to watch it, as it will never, and can never match the men's game. Technically it is very good, but the lack of physicallity, sheer oomph and decent goalkeepers just leaves me bored. In the top men's games, a goal has to be worked for, whereas a half decent long distance lob in the women's game, and your 1 up?

It's a moot point, because of course Mr Gould will now deal with players reps, it just makes me laugh when Pearson states " I never talk to agents, never have done, and never will" while his own contract is negotiated by his agent. I will come clean, ...... I don't like Pearson, and I believe he will ultimately be a failure at City, so I am coming from a position of bias when I criticise a manager who doesn't coach, doesn't believe in the loan system, and likes throwing players under buses. I will always support my club and all the players who represent it......... I just look forward to the day when Pearson is gone.

Mmmm........and your point is?

It's all relative.........Man C received over £150 mill from the Prem alone.........and when u add on sponsorship, advertising Etc Etc, the figures are huge..............as I said, it is all relative.

I Notice in the news, that our payments to intermediaries and Agent's have gone down by a small amount in the last financial year...........strange though, that considering Pearson will have nothing to do with Agent's, that City paid out a fee to HIS Agent ....... when he signed a 3 year contract?

Is it in Rishi Sunak's wife's purse?

The Defintion of defeatism, is the Resignation to the prospect of defeat..........."Prospect" being the operative word? . I know that we will probably lose, but any other result will be a cause for delirium and happiness on my part. So as a Pragmatist, i am prepared for defeat, but as a long standing City supporter, I know that any result is possible in the Crazy Pheckin Championship...Ha!

God...........I Hate that stupid programme.........with 30' Something..... Jermaine being all hip, sick and current, it's the definition of Lame, IMHO?

Doesn't really matter who the ref is? We gonna lose anyway?....................And before anyone accuses me of defeatism?.............I' m just a realist.

Good pictures................but constant references to sheep is a little off putting? .............I am all for sustaining and preserving minority languages......but it is not exactly easy listening, is it? Quite an ugly noise IMHO?

Oh!........ Well that's all ok then?

Side splittingly hilarious

Please....please, please Andi score the winner tonight against the Welsh pretenders..................nothing would give greater pleasure ?

Everyone who goes to Quatar is just playing into the hands of an oppressive regime, and paying into, and supporting a disgraceful draconian country. It is everyone's right to go there if they so wish, but i hope that anyone who does visit, takes into account that the country they are visiting has no human rights policies, and freedom of expression. So be careful your missus says nothing controversial, as you will be hit with a $25,000 fine...as women have little or no rights in Quatar. And God Forbid if you are not a healthy vibrant heterosexual....as you will be looking at a large fine and 3 years in prison?.......But Hey, what do you care about the exploited thousands of cheap migrant labour who have built the seat that your fat ass is sitting in, and who fill Quatar's graveyards..........cos ' you'll have a nice tan?

Why the pheck would anyone wish to travel to Quatar?

Quatar is a pheckin disgrace of a country.............the fact that it was awarded the World Cup, displays just how corrupt an organisation FIFA truly is . I just hope that footballers representing their various countries take the opportunity to highlight to the World, the repressive medieval politics that reside there. They must make use of their privileged platform to shine a light on Quater's appalling human rights issues, and draconian LGBT laws. Hopefully some players will draw attention to these disgraceful elements when interviewed, and use the World media to highlight just how inappropriate it is to allow Quatar to sportwash football's greatest competition? I am hoping all England's players wear black armbands, as a tribute to the thousands of exploited foreign workers who have died while constructing the stadia in which this joke of a tournament will be played out in ? But I am not holding my breath.

VAR must be introduced in the Championship? Otherwise it is just elitism?.............I would happy to man the video screens, I would most definitely be a better judge than some of the myopic twits currently watching the screens in their comfy bunkers? Ha!

Soft penalty? Have you ever been punched solidly in yer Puss?.................it was 100 % A penalty. Bents got it wrong, unfortunately, if it was the other way round, we would crying out for a spot kick?

A Peon is a Spanish American unskilled farm labourer, according to my Dictionary............Is that what you meant? As i didn't see any on the pitch? Unskilled?....Yep Spanish American Labourers?...No ?
