    We DO have wealthy owners! Joy is a billionaire!

    Play-offs

    Not sure what those figures prove - it isn't clear really. I for one do find it useful to look at the analysis of "last season 6th place required 69 points, but on average you need 73" to finish third., we need xx wins from yy games to get into the playoffs..etc...but these things are only a...

    Ricoh naming rights

    If I was Wapss, I'd try to agree with any sponsor to pay for the seats to be changed to gold/yellow and black, with sky blue replaced by yellow/gold/black around the stadium, and also the "Sky Blues" and "CCFC" wording spelled out in the seating to be replaced by "Wasps" and "WRFC". For all that...

    Time to wake up and smell the coffee

    Well yes, because every 12 months we set the clock back to zero by changing the manager!

    Time to wake up and smell the coffee

    Still, you can understand t he "glass half empty" approach from City fans, given the many false dawns over the years!

    Time to wake up and smell the coffee

    I think we have to take one game at a time - a good run starts with winning the first game (Blackpool). I think that the outcry at recent results is depressing. It's like it's somehow unacceptable to City fans for us to be mediocre.I have long thought that I'd accept us being mid-table and...

    Time to wake up and smell the coffee

    Try to be more positive - if we beat Blackpool away in front of 3000 beer-edup City fans, we'll have stopped the rot and it may lead to a complete shift in momentum!

    So who are the candidates?

    I have a theory that it takes more than one season to be successfully - you have to challenge for at least a season or two prior to winning something to have a chance. We've got such a long history of failure or mediocrity that it'll take a near miss and a strong campaign to get us over the line...

    Time to wake up and smell the coffee

    As others have pointed out, if we had been in patchy form all season but still 8th, 3 points from the playoffs, nobody would be making all this fuss. Also, I think there's a bit of a psychological pattern with Cov. We have all been used to getting excited about managers who go through strong...

    So who are the candidates?

    "...should be given another season..." - his contract doesn't run out intil June 2017, so he already has got next season with us, unless they cancel by mutual consent sooner.

    McLaren sack imminent, Armstrong recall imminent?

    Knowing Newcastle, I wouldn't put it past them to keep Brolly Boy on until they go down. That said, if a new manager came in and insisted they recall AA, I can't see the club hierarchy refusing!

    JOB situation

    It really does feel like we've seen the back of him; all this "we wish him well" stuff doesn't bode well for a return and a new contract offer.

    So who are the candidates?

    My point exactly! Then you don't know the full story. Couldn't agree more.

    MAF, looking for the positives.

    What does that say about the rest?

    So who are the candidates?

    Umm no. How do I know? PM me if you want to know.

    So who are the candidates?

    Agreed - I say this every time we sack a manager, and everyone ignores me as we (usually) have a brief bounce, then they forget the average of 1 manager per year in the last however many years...then it's "sack him" when the next one struggles. To be fair he's not on big money - just...

    So who are the candidates?

    To be clear, I'm not in favour of Mowbray getting the chop - in fact, part of the reason for this is the potential replacements. Had a think about it overnight and the best I could come up with was O'Discroll Cotterill Micky Adams Dickov Lawrie Sanchez Robins Magilton Tisdale Doesn't exactly...
