it's important that we win at least one of the next two home games and make sure we beat Rotherham. Getting done by that mob in our last home game of the season will certainly upset a few!!

Am I right in saying Rotherham have failed to win a single match on the road this season???..............

Need a re-jig & make changes at half time...

You’ve misread the article.

Warnock is claiming he’s retired, not Pearson.

With a place in Devon if he’s well enough then he seems a very smart choice for them to me.

I think Nige has a place near Bigbury??....

Would imagine he's enjoying life too much now to be working again!

This question has always interested me, especially with the suggestions on here that SL should sell up, but what happens if he decides he doesn't want to be the owner, this isn't for him, and there's no one else waiting to buy the club?

Is it too simple to suggest that would be the end of the club, or not just City, but any other football club in that circumstance?

Does the FA have any plan in place to prevent that sort of thing?  I find it amazing to think that there are that many wealthy groups/ syndicates / individuals willing to pump so much money into owning football clubs, without having the guarantee of making significant returns on their huge outlay.  They all open themselves up to the possibility of being abused or villified, losing tonnes of cash, and must all be a little bit bonkers!  

Football club owners, I salute you!

Would I exist without a wealthy owner ???

I referenced this after the interview.  So, he wants to press higher….then you’re the head-coach, set up to press higher!

Szmodics was at City under LJ but barely got a look in. Played in only three games before moving on to the Posh.

I’m guessing he wasn’t the player back then that he is now.

When I was watching him playing up at SGS he was certainly looking a player...and had an eye for goal.

Just to add I think I said when we completed the loan that the best result would be an underwhelming loan spell in order to keep the price down - on a bizarre basis the injury and quiet start may be long term beneficial as it means it’s a £2.5m (for example) as opposed to a £4-5m deal, which I think we’d all be amenable to as an acceptable “risk”

At no more than £3m (about right) then we shall see- I don't suppose we can place too much upon his three outings as far all being wins! - more how he shapes over the next six.

Looks like a change of shape to a 4231 be interesting to see if that gives us a little more going forward, 

Is this the much talked about plan B

No - we still don't have B...

This one's C...

Remember playing double-headers at end of season, usually 35 mins each way x two.  Although if you had an amiable ref, you might agree to play one match and report the score twice!

They were happy days..

Imagine teams playing 2 games in 24 hours seems inconceivable, and that was in the days of no subs.

Ok, only as an amateur - I played Saturday afternoon Sunday morning for years- and the Sunday often after a night on the ale.

Definitely doable.

For example, black ex slaves became “top men”. This was one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs as they had to climb to to top of the masts in all weathers, storm or no storm, to manage the sails

I remember an old pal (now sadly passed) telling me about being 'button boy' at HMS Ganges, training establishment..

The idea was to stand at the top of the mast, 143 feet, holding the top spike between the knees...makes me dizzy thinking about it!

Played well today, 3 very good saves from Vardy. 
 

distribution still poor, and if we’re all being honest, he isn’t the long term answer to get top 6, albeit we have more pressing areas to improve in fist. 

Chatting shit..

And I'm being kind.

Let the Pearson Obsession die if anything think he’s laid down the foundations as he did when he last left Leicester

Twine was the big January signing he starts we beat Leicester get off Pearsons parsnip and give Manning a chance 

It's clear school's out for Easter

If anything, all this video shows, was Trundle's attitude stank, had no respect for the club. He enjoyed being the big man in league one, and wasted himself here. He can say that he didn't take to Johnson etc, but the fact is, he knows he didn't want to graft, work hard for his place, and when he didn't get his way, threw his toys out the pram. Yes, he was a good player, but he took the royal out of us. 

For me he's another Tomlin...

Didn't make the most of considerable talent at his disposal.

Absolutely right Kid - a one trick pony who suffered from ‘little man’s’  syndrome and his man management style eventually got him sacked.

Get over it, Robbo..

I don’t feel nothing towards him, I’m not rooting for him to succeed or hoping he fails. Just don’t care whatsoever about him. Obviously I hope my team wins but with manning in charge it just feels like the substitute teacher is here and we’re waiting for the real guy to come back.

We'll put & sums up (as well as anyone can) my own feelings regarding Liam.

Bland beyond words.

They seemed unaware that Wally had since sold on his majority holding.

Unaware being the operative word.
