Sweeneys Penalties

financial reality is kicking in.....it'll happen to all clubs eventually. Yes SL says the club is up for sale, but that isnt new news Yes its a small squad, but Pearson doenst want a large squad and he's had to chop a lot of dead wood from the club Bristol City have always sold their best players (in my time of supporting the club - (since 71), but thats been the case for the vast majority of clubs in the 92. I think the events leading up to and the events of '82 were worse. Dropping into L1 isnt the end of the world. Undesirable, but not the end of the world

It was never an "instant fix". I hope for improvement on last season. I expect improvement. I hope for top half. My mood wont dip if we fail to achieve as I believe treading water (ish) is about as we're going to get right now. Not Nigels fault - just the state of Football finances generally

Lee Power really didnt do 'em any favours.

Hope not (for their sake). I wouldnt wish that on any club, but yes the Glazers are running it for the benefit of the Glazers

If it sells it sells...but there again I'm not exactly target buyer

Spoke to a friend this evening about this very thing. Friend was a Derby player years ago. He didn't exactly rule out Liam as a replacement

Thought his salary was paid by a betting company. 32Red.com or something.

It'll be a trot round the paddock for some of the u23s. Id go!

Funny you should mention that. I have opined previously that if England were seeded as Scotland were for WC qualification, England would also fail to qualify.

What are the odds on The Gastards to get relegated?

I wont buy one as 60 year old blokes really shouldn't be in a Football shirt. I don't mind it to look at though....just wish they'd play like Arsenal

Good ol' Heslop. If they plugged him into the National Grid, lights would have dimmed from Carlisle to Coventry

Oh Gawd. I hoped for some class and style

OK this is only partially City related but if all goes well there are some awesome looking grounds on the way - oddly no mention of the Fruitcake Arena (10) Top 10 Future England Stadiums - YouTube
