Doku pisses all over grealish. 

No way would Norwich sack Wagner who has been there and done it in this leauge by guiding huddersfield to the Premier league and kept them there for a season which was seen as remarkable at the time who also guided Norwich to a play off place only to then appointment manning who has never done it in the championship and who has a recent sacking at leauge one level and who is also still very much learning. The pressure for a learning coach at a club like nowrich would be huge. Plus if manning did go there then I'd hope we would appointment wagner !!! Who's a better coach

This is some statement.

The previous season only ended 9 days ago, we are one of very few Championship teams who have even announced who they are keeping on.

Most clubs haven’t said this & we don’t know the entire composition of next season’s division yet.

No one has the slightest idea who we’ll sign, who will leave or how much money we’ll spend, yet you think “we’ll do well” to finish in a spot below where we did this season.

I have no idea how anyone can possibly think that they know this.

What in the earth has shown you during our spell in the championship over the last 10 years to make you think any different

They’ll be challenging for promotion we won’t 

Early days yet the club may just surprise me for once in my life time but currently we would do well to finish mid table next season.

Completely agree our attacking options need a complete renovation that's where we are lacking. Plus another if TC goes.

Will be an interesting summer for sure.

This may be somewhat oddly controversial especially where bell is concerned ( his father and academy links) but sam bell Mark sykes and in alot of ways Annis mehmeti are just no where near good enough for a top 6 chasing championship side it hasn't really been highlighted but I think the wings need a big upgrade also. 

Surely it won't be Brian tinion and jon lansdown in the negotiating room   that would be a disaster.... oh god we are screwed this summer

I was thinking about our pursuit of scott twine this summer and I think wells could be a big help in convincing twine yp commit to us because wells found him self in exactly the same position as twine when wells was at Burnley before moving to us.

Given we pay players 10-15 thousand why do you think Twine is on 50+?

He would have had a promotion eage increase in his contract wouldn't be surprised if he was on around 40k per week

Get him to tell Burnley he wants to move to City would be a start.

Twine won't do that will he let's be honest he's probably earning 5x the amount of money we would ever pay plus he has 2 more years on that very lucrative deal and is at a team who have a real shot at promotion back to the Premier leauge next season he won't let go of Burnley easily we have to hope Burnley want to cut there losses on him and lower there asking price because they want to reinvest the money for there promotion push.

Thing is, according to an Ipswich fan on here, the appointment of McKenna was 100 % down to Ashton, given free rein to go out and pick someone; whereas here he feels it necessary to appoint Lee Johnson and Dean 'Deano' Holden, ffs. 

Lee Johnson was steve lansdowns appointment. There is the problem ... the lansdowns nothing will ever change with those prats pulling all the strings.

Twine looked every bit the player I thought he would be today absolutely class performance! Everything went through him hes been putting into so many quick sharp through passes in between defences lately and it's a breath of fresh air ! I hope city negotiate strongly for his return I feel manning will really want him back on a permanent basis he loves twine !

Correct however, if Max felt that he made a mistake signing for City now that Derby have been promoted (bearing in mind they could probably pay more) and he started being difficult ( Im not saying he will) then things can change if the club/Manning decided its not worth the hassle.

 

Ryan Frederick's is now springing to mind

Based on what I have seen but particularly today and assuming a transfer fee and higher than average wages in our squad I don’t think we should sign Twine. Today was the game he should have made a difference and he was one of our poorer players. This maybe unfair on him as he is returning from injury but I don’t think he is any more creative or better than the the existing alternatives in our squad

 

What annoys me is burnley are trying to inflict their blunder onto us by asking for the same free they paid mk dons for him yet its clear he is just an average championship player anyone who pays anywhere near the asking price of 5m for him is insane

So….why the MASS exodus of fans (a) when Huddersfield scored (b) on 85 mins?? I hate it when fans leave early at the best of times but that was embarrassing today. We have been on a good run of late and I know things are petering out to another season of mid-tableness but hey…fair enough if we’re losing 3-0 or similar! I’d like to know how many City fans saw Nahki’s penalty scored as we fought regardless of performance to get on level terms. 

Have a day off.

Roberts was absolutely class today him turning 2 blackburn players inside out in the opposition box was the highlight for me !! And he is a centre back! Unreal.

Let's not be stupid and get carried away just wait till next season and judge wasn't long ago everyone wanted the guy gone.

You might be a little slow here sir; you made a point about the Sunderland player being very good based off of 60 minutes game time. I tried to highlight O’Dowdas good goal (and game) against Palace; and similar for Hines/Watford to showcase that one swallow doesn’t make a summer, aka one good performance doesn’t make a player. Apologies if I articulated my thoughts poorly.

Not slow mate personally I just think your chatting shit.

I bet Palace fans said the same thing about O’Dowda, Watford about Freddie Hinds etc 

O'dowda didn't go to crystal Palace?  and freddie also never played for watford..... mate are you alright or what

His best game of the season afaia, they don’t like him at all and think he’s a dud

Then our recruitment team know what to do get him in asap as from what I saw he definitely isn't a dud 

I thought there midfielder Pierre Ekwah looked a real quality player for them only 22 signed from West hams academy for free!!! Unreal bit of scouting.

Sunderland could have won that 4-0 we have gotten away with one there they absolutely battered us at times

I couldn’t give 2 hoots about monotone emotion or charisma I don’t get this infatuation with some of our fans that we need to have some quality entertaining after dinner speaker as a manager 

good performances 

progression

3 points 

they could wheel out the Dalek off Doctor Who for all I care as long as I see some if not all of the above 

You must be one of those jizzin them selves over the 2 wins and ignoring everything that went before it I guess....

I found hog just as boring and liam manning !! Couldn't sit through the whole interview very mono tone not much emotion or charisma atall not for me !

It’s an option to buy, not an obligation in Mebude’s case.

Do you think we will exercise that option?

I wouldn't be surprised depends if he as another one of those " one for the future type signings "
