Rich Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Once we were promoted to the championship and started screwing the fans for every penny possible, while at the same time not investing properly during the first season and every season since. Since that promotion, the club has been run with finances at the forefront, regardless of the impact to the playing side or the supporters. People refer to wembley but that was only part of it. The season ticket pricing after promotion was unreasonable, comparable to the poll tax and along with the handling of tickets for wembley, did nothing to bring club and supporters together for the greater good, it just points out that it was about the product and ignored the long term future. I understand that major investment was being guided towards the accademy and the new stadium but, without a team and the goodwill of the supporters, which seem to have been taken for granted, that investment seems misguided. Basically it would appear that those on high have gambled on resisting to invest where others have and have paid a heavy price for that gamble. Now it's back to square one.

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 The defeat at Stoke at the end of the 2007/08 season pretty much killed off our chances of a top 2 place iirc. Considering how much time we spent in the Automatic Promotion places that season it felt like a missed opportunity. Im not saying that if we had won that match we would be where Stoke are now 5 years later but I do think we would've got promoted. Incredible season, my favourite as a City fan but dropping out of contention for Automatic Promotion at the end was the point when the wheels started to fall off imo.

Roger Red Hat Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 The Wheels came off when GJ was disgracefully hounded out the club by a section of so say supporters. Are you seriously suggesting that GJ was sacked/removed/left by mutual consent because of the supporters? Nothing to do with the fact that he had lost it, coupled with consistently shite performances and very very poor signings? He was no more hounded out by supporters than any other manager at any other club. His time was up. FYI, I was pleased when he was appointed, supported him during the infamous 9 game run, and backed him up until his time was up, which was long before he actually went.

If he'd stayed as manager and we got relegated, who would have been the best man to get us promoted again? GJ of course. So we sack, have 4 managers in 4 rubbish years.Look where he's got Yeovil now, why do football clubs and supporters think we have to sack at the first sign of trouble or even relegation, because relegation will probably happen anyway eventually, we proved that.

timothy bird Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 He left by mutual consent, the mutual consent bit was a deal done between him and s.l whereby GB went quietly and in return the, club kept as quiet as possible about the Plymouth incident. decent lower league manager, undoubtedly as long as he's not givren any money to spend or allowed to employ members of his own family, would I ever want him back here? no,no, no.
