Open End Numb Legs Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Surely any progress has to be slow and well underpinned with a new generation of fans and income otherwise they will trip up on FFP anyway? If I was their owner (shudder) I would back the manager regardless with a long term plan. At least he isn't a twitter embarrassment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Taylor Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 4 hours ago, Swede said: You've had a few of those. At least you've been in the Premier League. There's a few on here who need to be careful what they wish for. There doesn’t appear to be much wrong with your football club other than a few quality addictions in the summer. The owner has delivered a first class stadium and training facilities and appointed a young manager who needs to be given time to develop the younger players and implement his style and looking at recent results he appears to be slowly changing things. Football fans at all clubs are fickle and demand success instantly and as we all know it’s not that easy at any level. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lot of City fans don’t realise is that following the adoption of greater professionalism we are now providing the players with sandwiches after training which is bound to pay off in the long term. 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 23 hours ago, 1960maaan said: Realistically thinking , most of that budget will go on just getting a squad together, let alone one to challenge . "12 permanently contracted players have deals that are set to expire this summer while there are also six first-team loanees" So possibly losing 18 members of your squad and wanting to recruit one to challenge ?

Steve Watts Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 On 19/04/2024 at 20:46, City Rocker said: Oh dear Thangham, what were you thinking?! My MP for the past nine years and really popular locally. I certainly voted for her. Bad show by her party research staff though, have they not realised that ~98% of her constituents, even those of us who live in spitting distance of the Tinpottery, are anything but supporters of that shower? More City than gas in this neighbourhood. Such trivia wouldn't sway my vote in a general election, but what a lack of judgement from a senior politician. Anyway, as it happens, due to the boundary changes I believe Thangham has been moved to contest the new Bristol Central constituency at the next election, where there's a good chance she will lose out to the Green candidate. Unless the huge Sag vote can save her To be honest, whoever bases their vote on what team an MP supports should have their right to vote removed....this is exactly how we ended up with Brexit! 24 minutes ago, Taz said: Based on what!?

To be fair, she spoke pretty well and was more impressive than her government counterpart Lucy Frazer. However, she made several claims saying that the Rovers owner was a good owner, ran the club well, and that Rovers were good for the community. That's a shame, and I expect her to be strung up before the privileges committee by noon tomorrow.
