Christie has done a lot more damage from those positions with his throws so far than Aron did in his last..20 games, say? AT didn't even bother with them, they'd been so crap under AB. The big difference is Cyrus reaches the near post-it might get flicked on, or it might be scrambled clear...

Hiya, Ian!

Oh God not the "Thorn Out" debate again, please no...

Clive seemed to have inside knowledge that we were favourites...if so, it can only mean that Wolves are happy to pay the majority of his wages-as alluded to by some others. I'm happy to put aside fitness concerns as the guy is a class above anyone we have-442 rated him the best player in The...

Nuneaton were short of a 'keeper with their first choice off playing for British Universities for a while. I thought Quirke would be their ideal signing, but they went for another ex-City youth 'keeper, Neil Collett, on loan from Mansfield.

I tend to trust Football Manager on player wages. They're normally not far off :p. It is worth bearing in mind that a first year pro at our level is probably 750-1,000. Clarke 2K would be about right I'd guess based on a promising season. Remember how most of our youth players stalled on new...

Siberian salt mines?

Odd, Wood said on signing for us that "I never really scored any before last season". He's big, but a bit of a 50p head-he missed loads of sitters last season. And for a big bloke, he gets beaten in the air in defence way too much. And he's slow, and can't pass... Back on topic..certainly...

Yeah, and what's happened to the Non-league show? I liked that. It went from being every week to once a fortnight to..gone? Great support for your local community, there :facepalm:

Ah, so they finally got themselves a working website? They were a nightmare when I was trying to update them for my expanded Football Manager non-league mod last year, sod all info. No wonder they're going well-Ian Roper as player coach? Too good for that level. Few ex-City in Tom Bates and...

She is the maddest of the lot.

Nah, stepping down half-way through her Alaska Governeship blew her political credibility. She was never really in the race-just a popular public figure for the more insane end of the Republic vote. Bad news in a way as she'd have never have won-we'll just get a more organised Republican who...

Interesting, the Uefa Financial Fairplay has a 6 year safety-net before break-even is required. Whats the odds the Football League will take a similar approach? Boy would Kens face be red then..well, a reddy-shade of orange, anyway.

Just said that Venkys paid 40-50m for Blackburn. So if that is the going rate for a lower-mid table Premiership club, how can SISU expect someone to pay 30m for a struggling Championship club? It's just terrible value. They're business-men, can't they see this? Also said the most attractive...

Indeed. How I wish they would share with us their vision! Obviously the original one was to get promoted then sell us to someone as a "trophy"-or possibly one of the crooks like Brum and Pompey got saddled with, who just saw The Premiership as a cash-cow to be abused.

On now. Been interesting so far. Bill Kenwright just said "Football clubs are a trophy. You don't buy a football club to make money, believe me". He did qualify that by saying the exception was the Glazier approach. Got to look at our plight within that context. Given that we are...

Not immune to criticism at all, but when he comes in for heavy criticism the obvious response is to refer to the reality of the circumstances. Which is something I'm amazed some can't see;we have an understrength squad and are heavily reliant on kids who aren't ready. TBH, I wouldn't be...

Can't you see how the first part explains the second? He thought he had a bigger budget, so he started by getting the GK position sorted out with full intention of signing other players (and we were linked with plenty). Then he found out he'd been lied to. As have we, and indeed still are being...

To the OP-if my regular comments defending the manager are bollocks, then they aren't near to the amount of bollocks some say slagging him off. You really need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Why, don't be so naive! Haven't you heard the latest word? We've decided it's all our crap managers fault now! :thinking about:
