Is this a new use of the verb "to load"?

Don't know Joe, but I used to be a member of the Premier Club at the much lamented Highfield Road - Joe used to spend the pre-match time, meeting and greeting the customers and generally playing the good host. Now, if I'd been him, I'd have much preferred to spend that time sipping champagne...

Ever heard of Bernie Madoff????

There's hope for you yet then!!

That's true, no more original thinking than always being negative! :):)

Genuine question: Would you be pleased if a takeover happened or would you prefer to stay with SISU. I know you don't know all the details of any potential deal (at least, I presume you don't), so I'm asking for your gut feel - as your posts seem to suggest you'd prefer the latter.

So can we agree that "Hoffman will lose credibility if he doesn't step forward in the next few days" in your opinion. Some will agree with you, others won't. Personally I won't because my experience of deals like this is that rarely work to any neat timetable. Personally I'm glad that...

I was resonably happy with SISU when they came in. I didn't expect them to take a "fairy godmother" approach, but I did expect them to introduce more professionalism to the club. As is now clear, the original business plan failed (whether the blame is down to RR's decisions, SISU's cash...

From what I recall, I think that Dowie wanted to run the whole footballing side of the club (i.e, including the academy etc) wheras Ranson wanted a manager/coach who would concentrate on the first team.

Have to admit that, at the time, I thought that CC was a good appointment - young manager who'd done OK in the Premier, had experience of managing abroad. On the other hand, my heart sank when I heard we'd got AB.

All the home games except Reading when I was taking #2 son to start university. As some have said, it's more out of habit than excitement now. You do wonder how a new generation of City fans will ever "get the bug".

Could be a long thread if it includes sales!!!

Hope is all we have left...........

At least in that plan they did envisage some survivors..........

I think we agree on more than we disagree. I guess what I was trying to say was that whilst I've been disappointed with what AT has got out of the squad this year (having been very pleasantly surprised by what he got out of a better squad last year), I think that it's a secondary issue...

Is that what they call putting words into peoples' mouths? I'm sure it has "absolutely something" to do with everyone involved with the playing side of the club. However, at the risk of being repetitive, last year we finished 18th. We only managed that because of the late run under AT -...

Excellent, well argued post. I've been very disappointed by Sheff and Bell this season after the way they played at the end of last. I think it's largely due to the loss of MK whose runs used to open up so many possibilities for the attacking midfielders. Unfortunately, this year we're a lot...

A couple of others: Selling Dennis Mortimer - always felt he could have captained the side to great things, wonder what happened to him after he left..... Selling Garry Thompson - Sexton was building a really good young team, they saw the writing on the wall when Garry went and so Thomas...

My best guess is that you're referring to the Mirror article and in particular: "The fears seem genuine, shared among senior circles within the Championship, with Delieu’s appearance on the bench a few feet from Thorn the symbol of a club that has lost its sense of bearings. Pressed in the...

Investment companies invest to get a return. Sometimes things work well and they make a profit. Sometimes things work badly and they make a loss. SISU paid nothing for the shares in CCFC as they (rightly in my opinion) said that the shares had no value. Since the acquisition they have...
