Your final point is of great concern.......the longer we bump along with just trying to survive financially, the more hard core fans we lose with no replacements from the younger generation. We are a club which is decaying and until significant investment and vision is demonstrated, then the...

Roland Neilson was a class player, he qualifies for me along with Oggy. As for Mo Konjic ....my recollection of him was that he spent a lot of time being injured, but when he did play he was iconic. Not a legend for me due to missed matches.

Bigi has ability and as a number of others have said, he needs a pre-season and a settled run in the team to develop further. Talent doesn't disappear because they've had a negative experience. TM is the right man to help him fulfil his potential.

Spot on! It's a question of how much is available for the first team? Given our owners "spin" on almost every issue & the costs of TF, paying off previous managers, etc. I would be careful in deducing that TM's budget was suitable, especially when we consider the total lack of infrastructure at...

This debate reflects the short term approach of the club over the past few years. .....constant change. Any business needs some degree of continuity and time for a system to mature. Whilst the results over the past 4 months have deteriorated, the style of football is significantly better than...

Given the long catalogue of disappointments and alienation of the fans from the owners. I feel the support has been amazing.....my worry is that the longer the slump in our fortunes goes on, then the younger generations will not feel the same connectivity and allegiance to our club and the...

Our defending has been pathetic. Too many balls left short for our players and messing about in possession at the back. Apart from that.....World Class!

Agree - young players develop quicker in a stable team and encouraged. Too often we write off players without giving them a decent run.

Positive move, it's good to see us planning ahead

The academy has consistently been the one profit sector of the clubs activities, due to the sale of it's products. IMO to lose this element or for it to be downgraded is stupidity. What CCFC do face is a cash flow situation, in that they have to invest in a capital project, which will take 5...

I agree - I have seen no evidence of a 4 - 8 year plan for our club, apart from stumbling along with short term actions

My first game was in the 66-7 season. I used to take a small wood box to stand on just behind a barrier [remember those?]. Whenever, we scored I would end up pinned to the barrier, gasping for breath....but it was worth it. The tea room at the back of the kop managed to serve everyone 10x faster...

Interesting thought, but that would require our owners to have a strategic plan for the club....something that there has been little evidence of.

TM inherited a club with poor infrastructure, as first team heading for the 4th tier. He has made significant progress. However, if anyone thinks progress in sport is linear they are naive!

Pre-xmas we had a small squad and apart from the international breaks managed to play a settled team. The addition of players, some of which have been forced due to injury may have unsettled the team, along with our useless owners doing what they do best.....! However, at the start of the...

Worst managers...... Peter Reid & Terry Butcher. Most boring manager.....Don Howe. I remember him waxing lyrically about a 0-0 draw at Highfield Road. Best Physio....Norman Pilgrim. Top man!

1967-8 season versus Sheffield Wednesday a 3-0 win with Neil Martin blasting a penalty into the spoon top. Nearly knocked me off my stool, which I needed to see...aged 7

Totally agree - only proper black boots rather than pantomime slippers in pink, red, green, etc

We've had some great kits over the years. 1. The sky blue shorts with black shorts 2. The Talbot kit 3. The 87 stripes!

This can only be a positive for the development of Ryan. He needs game time to develop and we could benefit from having an improved player back for next season.
