Both deals were scuppered by inefficiency in the boardroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both deals were scuppered by inefficiency in the boardroom. You have to ask your 'sources' why those 'inefficiencies' came about... Ask about Agents fees...ask about pre contracts not adding up. Ask about 'holes' in contracts. Ask about where those 'holes' were going to. Those alleged deals were scuppered, but it wasn't purely down to 'inefficiencies'... Put it this way...it might be looking better on the field with new signings coming in...but don't let that detract you, from ignoring the fact that there is still an alleged unrest between board members. Certain 'people' feeling let down and betrayed. It's a lot worse than people think...and that comes from a very respected and reliable contact...who shall not be named. All alleged of course....

All alleged of course.... yes, the holes were mentioned and the allegations where they were going. All together it is a sad state of affairs from a fantastic season last year to a cloak and dagger summer recess with the knock on effect we are seeing now. We have blown a big chance that we have not had for many years. If all these 'alleged' facts were out in the public domain, it would keep certain newspapers in copy for weeks !! I just hope things will settle , we avoid relegation and give US fans more to cheer about because last year was one of the best in the 55+ years i have been supporting the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope things will settle , we avoid relegation and give US fans more to cheer about because last year was one of the best in the 55+ years i have been supporting the City I totally agree...unfortunately a few people got greedy allegedly. Them and their 'Associates'. All very cloak and dagger...I'm sure it's gone on at other football clubs before...as these 'Associates' have been built up over time. Shame it happened when it did...probably our most important summer. What annoys me the most...is that in any other business it would come into the public domain. Football seems 'protected'...it's a game for the 'boy's...I often see it as multi million pound businesse being run by dodgy second hand car salesman...no offence to car dealers...but you get my drift. Too much greed in this game...a few peoples greed, spoil it for a whole Clubs support. There would definitely be different views on certain people, if this all came out. All alleged of course...
