Not much, most of it went on the stadium and I don't hear anyone complaining about that. The trouble is we don't get enough income to pay Championship wages, that's why SL has to subsidise the club every season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t buy that look at the squad wilder assembled to take Sheffield Utd up? Also look at Coventry and Blackpool this year there’s no way their wages and fees come anywhere near ours. we have overspent like kids in a sweet shop on absolute litter we fans are suffering but the club are frankly getting what it deserves 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red white and red Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 He is more than happy with how city are doing. As long as he has a nice new shiny stadium, training facilities and can keep an eye on all of his toys, he’s set. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finley_Smith10 Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 just find it frustrating how it seems it’s okay to just accept poor performances and a awful standard of football. And I can’t see that changing for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No football at all would be better than watching this ! I know Steve spends much of his time in Guernsey but have the Lansdowns not been watching the last 4 years on Robins TV? I'd have to conclude that they haven't even been doing that to allow the quality of the football and the squad to deteriorate so much, for so long.

SL was in charge when Cotts became manager so must have appointed him. It wasn't all bad under LJ, he actually did as well as anyone at this club in the 2nd tier if you think about it, at least we were never in danger of relegation which hasn't been the case with virtually every other manager we've had (apart from his dad). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can ask Brighton, Stoke,Bradford ,hull,Oldham, Barnsley,Swansea ,Swindon ,Ipswich,charlton,Wigan ,Blackburn and reading . whilst some of them are in a lower league than us atm they have all had more success than us and will probably be at the same level as us before we ever do anything worthy of talking about .

Ask any Bury fans you know. Sick of hearing this bollocks. Because he’s spent money on the ground & HPC. He’s treated like a messiah. There’s no doubt this mess is 100% his fault. He appointed mark ashhton in 2012 to recruit the worse squad I’ve seen in decades. Then reappoints him to rip the heart out of the title winning squad & replace them with overpaid shit we got now. In over twenty years he got one manager appointment right GJ . That’s it . He’s made poor decision after poor decision & personally I’d be happy if he sold up. Apart from bricks & mortar , we’ve not really progressed , certainly on the pitch. 18 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s oblivious to football matters and whilst us as fans can appreciate the ground re build and the training ground on the pitch I can’t see us progressing past a mid table side under his watch.
