Mr Popodopolous Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Credit to Pembo and Wade. This was in my view a must win game and a win was duly delivered. Game itself when we got a pen mind thought back to Charlton at home but it went in...just! Pub was excellent atmosphere pre GS. And atmosphere in stand was decent I thought, especially towards top half. Results broadly went our way too, we merited our win...goal aside Freeman's chIP that nearly dipped in maybe his confidence is returning hoping so.

Their form is inconsistent, and even when we were not in good form we managed to get a point at their place, so a point next weekend would be excellent. MK also have Derby next weekend, and while they have staggered a bit recently, I'd rather a home game to Ipswich just now than a trip to Pride Park. Big couple of weeks.

samo II Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I'm fully behind LJ's appointment, but let's not detract from the fact that it was Pembo and Wade's team that won today. As others have said; the team and the two mentioned above have done excellent work under trying circumstances, and made me a very proud City fan. Delighted to still have Pembo as first team coach, and hope Wade retains close links to the first team in order to assist the transition for young players. Realise many aren't happy with the appointment, but personally today has been good, what with the result and LJ arriving, which is a nice change after the last few weekends! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I personally would've kept Pembo and Wadey in charge, but we shall just have to wait and see how Lee works out. There was maybe an element of that, sure. But I also think it's entirely possible Pembo and Wade didn't want to stick in the role all season, which perhaps left the board in the position of having to make a move. In that situation, I think our 'dance card' will have been limited; names such as Moyes were complete pie-in-the-sky, and though Pearson was polite about us on the radio he may have not wanted to tarnish what is currently a pretty decent reputation, that is being bolstered-by-proxy thanks to Leicester's incredible season. I was also not one of those thinking Warnock or another 'old skool' candidate was ever an option; the Copplle debacle, and S'OD's uninspiring period in charge have put me off that, personally. And when the likes of Appleton were actively ruling themselves out, I'm not sure we would have many options who'd have got people gasping, to be honest. Many people clearly don't like Aston because he's a 'suit', but he made a point in his interview about appointing young coaches he believes have potential, and I think it is hard to argue LJ doesn't fit the bill for that. Will be a risk, but I do think that the situation we are in, anyone would be, and if the alternative was not available (as in Pemberton not comfortable staying in charge), then we could have done far worse, and there is a real question as to how much better too. Just hope LJ does a Cotterill and proved his doubters wrong. He has my full support. Edited February 6, 2016 by samo II 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to read Little had a good game. He had a terrible injury towards end of last season and I felt he was unfairly written off by a lot of fans before he had a chance to play a run of games. Sometimes his positioning is out but he always looks a handful going forward and is always committed to the cause. So great to read defensively he was on it today too.

cityexile Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Think they have given themselves a chance. Hung on to most of their better players over the window, and have sold a car park it appears for a good few million. All comes down to how their main creditor acts, but should not bank on them going into admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much it went for but didn't they have wages to pay? If they had wages chances are they had other creditors too as you'd expect wages to be the last thing to go unpaid. The problem they have is that they now have to face the next 5 months or so operating without being able to sell any players. For that reason I wouldn't predict any let up by their creditors. I'd hate to think what the wage bill for the next 5 months looks like for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But equally quite different and extremely complex issues in those particular cases, especially around offshoring and transfer pricing.

Yes, but whether that's enough we will find out around Feb 22nd as that was the deferment date from their hearing... let's hope it's not!
