Monkeh Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 9 minutes ago, Kid in the Riot said: Must admit I'd heard this rumour on Friday (think it's Gary Owers who you are referring to as the ex-player) and have spent all weekend hoping it's not true, because it just adds further weight to the fact Holden is happening. We've been down this exact route before of course with Steve Wigley and Keith Millen, which ended in spectacular failure. England's youth set-up tends to attract coaches that can't seem to cut it in league football. Fair play he won the u-20s WC, but then look at the squad he had. This doesn't soften the blow of what's about to come. Its a ******* joke The club is a laughing stock It has alienated large sections of the fan base It has lied to us There is no direction scatter gun approach to player recruitment No leadership This has relegation written all over it ******* joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual heard from a pal, who is an ex city player and friends with Jamie Mac, apparently JM has been given the boot because he has spoken out to MA about a number of MA's decisions during the last 5 weeks. In addition to this he also said that he's been told that Paul Simpson will be coming in as assistant to DH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Simpson_(footballer) Don't shoot the messenger! COYR's! There could be big Kudos to a new member for rocking up with some info. If the Simpson nugget turns out to be true, does that mean the outspoken Macca bit is true too? Hmmm.....

Drink_Up_Thee_Cider Posted August 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I do not know, but now that we know DH wants his own coaching staff, maybe JM was offered another role and wasn’t willing to accept it. Just listened to MA with G20Man and I’m not sure I believe a word that comes out of MA’s mouth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic stuff! And some fabulous commentary from Todger Malone, my favourite being “Hello, what’s this?” as he noticed Paul Simpson unmarked and about to complete his hat trick. It was Shelts who was rugby tackled and Martin Scott put away the penalty. Getting totally geeky and sentimental, this was my favourite year ever with City!! (not season, but year!) And to put the question of our ambition into perspective, I think even then (25 years ago!?) Derby had spent more that summer than we have in the last few years put together!!!? They went into that match with an insane amount of talent I think, Lionel Pickering as the sugar daddy?? Murdered in the opening exchanges, but that match went onto be a classic. Was only there because I'd had my heart broken a few nights before in Ritzy (!!!) and was in a right teenage love lost mess! My mate wisely advised me that going to Derby would take my mind off things For all the various big wins or high profile matches I've seen with City, i would genuinely rather re-live this Derby match than say Liverpool. A terrace of cider monsters and geezers and, in front, a match just unbelievable in its plot! Own goals, red cards, last minute winners, heroic comeback, an outfield player dressed in a huge keepers jersey, a bonkers classic stadium, flying bricks, penalty, roger malone is a wan**r, and a pissed up away following doing the doobie doo. You wouldn't believe this game if it was on the playstation. Amazing times watching City! Drunk, morose and missing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean will be the “head” coach but they’ll very much be an even team. Decision by committee... Hmm.. usually ends badly... Actually usually starts badly too.

Top Rank used to be along by the labour exchange, opposite Bridewell, when I went there in the late 60's. The Gaumont cinema used to be on Baldwin St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
