Mr Popodopolous Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Shauntaylor85 said: Let’s be honest. The fans have no loyalty to Manning and many didn’t want him in the first place. Tinnion is not flavour of the month either so it could be a tough few weeks ahead. Fans want to see progression. Seems we are undoing a lot of Pearson and Gould’s hard work to stabilise us for a step forward. Hope I’m proved wrong. Yep. 14-16 points, perhaps more from the first 10 games a useful benchmark? Problems lie higher than LM and Hogg all told. Edited August 5 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 2 hours ago, GrahamC said: Sunderland are a massive club, most people expect Boro to do better than us. Burnley should be up there with their financial advantage. I’d avoid the other two if I was him. Agree with all that but the only club out of that lot you would lob your house on to finish above us without a seconds hesitation is Burnley. This is the Championship and we know how it works. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly…but how do you or anyone else on this forum know that… all we hear are ‘third party’ rumours and No figures have ever been put out in the public domain. Rightly so for all concerned. All that has ever been said by the club is that he was offered an exceptional contract that he declined without negotiation. Irrelevant really where he was on the City rich list so be it. Good luck to TC doing what most pro footballers do…make as much money as possible.

Just because someone heard a rumour second or third hand it still does not make it a fact, that's not to say they were not well intentioned, by passing on. With these type of things you need to try and decide does it make sense? By TC signing a contract his asett value to city significantly increases, so why would they loose that over a reduction of few thousand a week, chuck away millions for a few grand. If there is some truth, what's not to say TC went back to city and said Celtic are willing to pay me X a week, so city say OK show us the deal and we will match it, but TC is unable to back it up, not saying any thread of truth in this, but without knowing the full story we never know if the contract being reduced is true or why 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 2 minutes ago, Ska Junkie said: I'm beginning to come around to this, essentially the @Robbored way of thinking. It’s true Ska - I don’t know what going on with the TC saga anymore than any other fan. There are those that claim or hint that they do know what’s happening but in reality it’s no more than conjecture. My very simplistic take is based on what generally happens with most transfers - the money debate. Every club is looking to get the best deal for their club and that often leads to negotiations stalling or lingering on and that seems to be where the Twine situation is right now and has been for quite awhile. As for Conway - the sooner he leaves City the better. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
