I spoke to one of BTA’s team mates when we were first linked with him. He said to me he was a great lad, hard working but his final ball / finish was very inconsistent. I also spoke to a baggie at work who said pretty much the same. I think this has been our experience too. What amazes me most...

In part correct but in part because we were conceding too many goals.

We really need his pace 🤦🏻‍♂️

Agreed but we play with one striker and ideally a 10 but we don’t have a 10 so BTA runs around a lot. You could sell BTA, retain wright, simms and Bassette for that single striker role and use some of the money to loan in a 10.

What ever Simms limitations ( first touch, self confidence etc ) mobility is not one of them ….

McConnell from Liverpool and a young lad from Villa I think

If we are to take on loans then I think they have to be pass certain criteria for me … 1) Will they start most matches when fit ? 2) is it possible to sign them in the summer either perm or on a season long loan if they are successful with us 3) the cost of the loan ( fee / wages ) cannot...

No I didn’t …. I was proving a point using a theoretical argument.

Nono didn’t you plum. We have different views of the same season. Those views are views not facts.

I don’t have a second account I have an unpopular view which has created the pile on. I think King has been good for us, Robins brilliant but had some flaws, our scouting broadly good, our players do care. This isn’t inline with the herd mentality of some.

It was theoretical

I haven’t seen a single comment saying Robins wasn’t great for our club.

Thats not my view and i remember how widely we celebrated when we knew we were safe. It wasn’t a shrug of the shoulders because he had felt safe all season.

Your missing the point, possibly deliberately i can’t tell. Look at the Premier League table now. Take West Ham or Palace. They are having an awful season buy anyone’s measure but if the second half of the season mirrors the first they will be well clear of relegation. It wont change that their...

Absolute clown. If you are in the bottom 3 all season and win the last 4 matches to pull clear have you had a season fighting relegation, yes of course you have. Your final points total is not the only consideration when reflecting on how your season has gone.

No that’s first season we looked likely to go down all season. We finished really strongly and our end position flattered us.

January 9th. 3 weeks of the window left. Not selling our assets that window was importaht, and a change in direction .

Our highest league position was in Kings first season. This really isn’t that difficult.

Not true. Under King we reached the play offs final final and the FA Cup Semi final. Neither of these were under SISU. Maybe we would have achieved the former under SISU we will never know but my own view is that either Vik or Hamer would have gone in the January to fund operating losses and...

in my opinion Mark Robins was brilliant for City …. But it should be seen in context. Promotion via the play offs was the minimum expected of a club of our scale and resources in LG2, yes we were a shadow of our former selves but still big by league comparison. He did a great job in lg1 and i do...
