As for me.. i'm going to keep my powder dry for now but if the season ends with us promoted and Leicester a league below us, i'm going to wank myself into oblivion.

and if they ended 2 league below due to points deduction what would do to top that.

I don't want to go making @Saddlebrains type promises but i'd be pretty excited.

Lets be honest, as much as i'd love to have experienced Leicesters recent past, that fall off must hit hard. I'm pretty sure they were playing Champions League when we were in League 2 and i'm sure their fans thought as much as we did that Coventry would never be looking down on Leicester again, at least not in my life time. I know we're talking about 8 years now but that's a pretty small period of time in football for a huge gap like that to erode, i bet they fucking hate it.

It just shows how quickly things can go wrong with just a few bad decisions.
Southampton were always put up as an example of the perfectly run club. Now it is Bournemouth, Palace and Brentford. Historically, smaller clubs than us.
We were doing fine until Richardson screwed up. Between then and King we had some pretty awful Chairman and Directors not to mention some dreadful Managers before Robins.

Boro reported to have gazumped Swansea for hellberg, gone in as manager with Adi

Norwich apparently going to appoint either Gary O’Neil or Jon Dahl Tomasson this week. Can’t say either are that inspiring but I’d pick Tomasson if I had to.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Read this morning that Steve Gibson of Middlesboro has never paid compensation ever for a manager and has always hired an unemployed manager.

Sheff Wednesday have now been granted permission by the EFL to sign two free agents, the first one in is ex Leeds captain Liam Cooper.

Just been hearing tonight that both have turned it down Dahl Tomasson was in advance talks but couldn't agree personal terms apparently.

That really doesn’t bode well for them. I think that sporting director of theirs is a huge turn off for potential managers, Manning made a few subtle digs at him this season.

Sky Blues legend Phillippe Clement is the latest name doing the rounds.

 

[Gleneagles65]

That took a while

Quicker than the Leicester points deduction this season.

I’m sure that the word legend slipped out accidentally

He's no John-Guy Wallemme, to be fair.

They're in such a state atm that I wouldn't be surprised if in a few weeks it emerges that their sporting director thought he was appointing Paul Clement.

 

[covcity4life]

Ended badly at rangers for him but I thought they were decent at times under him

They are enough threat to us though

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The bizarre things the Sheff W administrators are dealing with make for interesting listening. Kit shortages, unable to cook certain food for home games...

 

[Danceswithhorses]

You can see why Cov and Stoke are doing so well, but Hull and Derby also look dangerous

Mundane concerns having a real impact on the day to day running there.
Whoever the new owners are they will be taking an awful lot on.

Sunday's derby is gonna be something else.

Hang on a minute, just realised Clement came off the bench in the 3 nil win with 10 men at Festa in 99.

Legend status confirmed.

Birmingham City Stadium event on sky sports now.....
Makes me want them to fail even more now!
(Looks like it is happening!! - stadium that is!)

62000 capacity?
far too big.

 

[pusbccfc]

Looks ridiculous

These yanks are on another planet. There is no appetite to justify that, most the locals would probably just like to have their bins collected for once.

 

[TomRad85]

hahahaha is that it? Looks fucking ridiculous.

 

[pusbccfc]

Will cost a fortune to build those chimneys.

 

[AJB1983]

Won’t look like that though will it in the end.

Visible from 40 miles away apparently.

 

[alexccfc99]

It looks fucking hideous and shite like the rest of Digbeth, rather fucking fitting really hahahahaha

Homer Simpson will be clocking in once it opens

Poor folk in the Cotswolds that have to look at that eyesore every time they open their blinds

 

[TomRad85]

The locals will be erecting trebuchets to launch their bin bags directly into the chimneys. Absolutely hilariously cringe stadium for Cringe FC.

 

[AJB1983]

Retractable and moveable pitch…. Where’ve I heard that before?

genuinely though, Real Madrid and Tottenham have those…. They’re seriously saying Birmingham city are as well?

I doubt it’ll get through planning due to its size

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Things that will never happen…

Looks ridiculous

 

[pusbccfc]

It is definitely happening. I'm not sure why people are still saying this.
