Lets hope this does not hurt your poor feelings but your attitude stinks and is just the thing to help our our club along to total extinction. I certainly would not shed tears if you were to dissappear from this board after your brainless comments and throwing a mardy because didums didn't get the manager he wanted.

Great post. I take my hat off to you.

Well said that man!

Agree entirely.

great post

It crossed my mind that if Taylor went in Jan that an offer might go in to Stoke for Phillips.

Maybe be a new tactic to improve the rhythm of the midfield?

His name is Patrik Redo. Apparently has been training with us and is due to fly over for a reserve game with a view to singing. Report was on Skysport. Does anybody know anything?

Hugh's fitness is debatable and without him there isn't any, what you could call proven experienced strikers. seems to me there is a question mark over Hugh's ability to stay fit and Ormerod is here to cover that situation.

When it boils down to it the support is missing for all the reasons stated in the poll but the local glory hunters who follow the big boys are the major dissappointment to me.

one of the best we have had and very overlooked. That was something else when he broke the net with a penalty. RIP

Are you talking about the one match ? I wonder how people wouild say you performed with whatever you did last week. Do you deny my other points? Or do you get all your pleasure from grumping? Do you think we should all be doom and gloom all the time? Besides if you prefer why not stick to the grumping topic. This was not meant to be a debate. I just fancied hearing from a few fans with something positive to say thanks very much.

I will be interested to see if there are more posts on this topic as opposed to it's alter ego. It could say a lot about our fans.

1, We have a manager hungry for success for himself who has a long history with us and keeps learning and getting better. 2, We have owners who genuinely care about the club and are willing to back it in a sustainable sensible fashion. They to are learning and getting better at it. 3, We will get a new ground eventually despite the opposition and numerous difficulties getting the planning in place. 4, We have a squad of players who took us to eigth place last season despite a crippling injury list still almost completely in place. 5, We have very cleverly augmented to an already fairly successful squad a new mass of potential talent. 6, We now have strength in depth but still have a core of good players who know one another well and have played together for a fair length of time. 7, There is potential revenue from the sale of Micah Richards and possibly another from the squad which used wisely can only improve the clubs situation. WHY THE HELL CONCENTRATE ON THE NEGATIVES?? EVERY team member will have off days. No big deal. They are human like us and don't always fulfill there potential like every other dam player in this league. Please feel free to add to the list. NEGATIVES ON THIS POST ARE TOTALLY BANNED!!

Do you think there is a possibility of City collapsing and going into administration with all this? If that is a possibility how would we stand? Would we be considered to be a creditor?

Jim Bowie, Bobby Johnstone, Bert Lister, Jim Fryatt and Alan Groves. Also seem to remember watching a stunning goalkeeper called Rollo or something like that.

Great post

Any basic training information on psychology or teaching wil tell you the importance of avoiding stressing the negative aspect of anyones performance who is supposedly being taught to do something but find ways to improve performance by building from the positives in the performance of the individual concerned. It can have a severe effect on their confidence and progress not to use this technique. It makes you wonder what is said when prospective mamagers take there coaching qualifications and whether they are taught ways to be firm and gain respect without resorting to ranting on a regular basis which the more it is done the more resentment will build up in the receiver of the abuse. It is simple human nature. Confidence is a major issue for anyone in anything they do. Having said that you can only pick 11 players for a game so the way you approach players who are not in the side is also going to be crucial. I wonder what is really said behind the closed doors of the football club. Maybe we just see the worst side of our manager during the matches due to his passion for the game.

Die muppet die!!!
