But why gamble? Successful clubs are generally that because they don't take risks. Selling Robbie Keane for Bellamy was a gamble which didnt work. Robbie Keane had proved he could get goals for us, Bellamy hadn't. That was a gamble. Our owners have always looked for quick solutions, but...

Well I could never understand that really. Sell your best players, then go and spend more to replace those players with worse ones. Why not just hang on to the good players you have? Its the same as selling Gary Mcsheffrey in his prime, then using pretty much all that money to bring in Kevin...

Do you not think after being there so long our aim should have been a bit higher? First few years just staying up is fine, but after that the club should have pushed on. I think it was the 3rd season after promotion in the late sixties that City got into europe. That should have been the...

I don't deny that at all. Our overheads probably do cancel out the extra income we receive. But the fact that successive owners have screwed up our finances is not going to bring in extra fans.

That wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at the OP & Snoz. I also agree that if we had 20k up there it probably would be easier to do well, but we still have a large support for our position yet that is dismissed on here.

I'm sorry but from a fans point of view just staying up is never a good season. My first ever game watching City was a 4-1 loss to Crystal Palace, are you saying because that was a Premier League game I should have been grateful for that? Losing games in the Premiership hurt just as much...

Sheff Utd & Portsmouth is a fair point and as fans I agree we have no right to expect us to finish ahead of them until we get up the Ricoh in greater numbers. But all those other teams are not in our division at the moment. We are not competing against those teams. If we had gone down into...

So consecutive owners have made bad mistakes, left us on the verge of homelessness, and wasted our money, and because of all that we should be getting 20k crowds at league 1 level? The club had very good support levels, but years of lies, bad management, selling every player on the first bid...

<p> I respect them as well but your missing my point. The Op, snoz, are saying if we had bigger crowds we would be successful. My point is we do get bigger crowds than all but 2 league one teams, so where is the success?

Similar history? What other club has gone 40+ years without a good league season? Who are you comparing us too? We are a league 1 club, therefore if your being relative you compare us to other league 1 teams. Also how does the % of catchment area who attend games affect how much money is...

I agree, but that's not the fans fault is it? Its the club/owners fault. The Club has no right to the current level of support it currently enjoys. On the pitch there is nothing more than a average league 1 team, average league 1 crowds are about 5k. The fact we are getting twice that amount...

Snoz are you saying that there is a link between our support and where the club should finish? If so I agree with you. However if that is what your saying then you're ignoring the facts that the club/team gets better support than it deserves. Third best supported team this year, we will...

In the days of regional ITV, Central certainly didn't like us. Gary Newbon (aka Leicester City no 1 fan) was head of Central sport.

Sisu 'saved us' from what exactly? League 1? Humiliation of been outbid on players by the likes of Swindon? The threat of being evicted from our home at any point now? Starting with Robinson/Richardson, then through to sisu, they have destroyed this club in equal measure. Yet the likes of...

All of us, have had to sit through years of crap. Anyone under the age of 30 have never known any good times, the best I ever seen us do was 11th in the Prem (hardly a glittering achievement for a team that had been there 30 years). So after years of supporting City through thin and thin...

What ground will we be hosting the third round in?

<p> I think this is exactly the case, as hinted to by acl when they referred to the clubs 'wealthy owners'.

<p> I think this is the real positive out of this week. Regardless of the outcome, it is better for all concerned for it to happen now. If its administration then lets have it now and get it over and done with.

<p> Robinson lost very little. Premiership years he was charging interest on his investment.

<p> £1m is what city pay a year in rent. So Acl need just 2 concerts a year to replace ccfc as tennents.
