    Do you sense a change?

    If the budget set doesn’t allow the footballing side of things to function then they are.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I think the article was saying the opposite of that. Mortimer was urging him to stay at City saying the grass isn’t always greener. The fact the story was aired was only a reflection of the speculation on McNulty’s future among fans, many on here debating if he will stay for example.

    Is this the most exciting pre-season EVER?

    Maddison injury and then sale (he didn’t perform when on loan) and the decision to allow OBrien to leave, plus the injury to Johnson cost us dear. It was still an excellent turn around from being on the brink of relegation in the last game of the previous season to finishing eighth the next. The...

    Court Case Thread! June 2018

    What are the chances that this will be the end of the JR route for Sisu? It it likely to be the end of that road today? If so can they still mount other legal actions?

    Is this the most exciting pre-season EVER?

    Mowbray turned around a team that had almost been relegated to one that was challenging for two thirds of the season. He did this mainly with the use of loans, the acquisition of Vincelot and the form of Fleck. This team has momentum, they are more settled and have shown in cups games last...

    Becoming a Sky Blue

    Yep. Have to agree to disagree. I was sitting in the Main Stand so maybe had a better perspective than you!

    West Brom Pre season friendly to celebrate the life of Cyrille Regis.

    Hopefully we will play the first team. Two years ago there would have been a massive gap between the clubs. Hopefully now we can give them a game.

    West Brom Pre season friendly to celebrate the life of Cyrille Regis.

    Maybe they could make that an annual “friendly” for the next few years and alternate the ground ( if Wasps ever let us play a friendly at the Ricoh).

    Becoming a Sky Blue

    I disagree. I was there. Now that goal was a long time ago but I can still see it in my minds eye and it was from the half way line.

    Becoming a Sky Blue

    I think we are going up again this season.

    Jones/Andreu

    I liked Jennings when he was here. He was part of the Pressley bomb squad, removed I thing for financial rather than playing reasons.

    Ryan Haynes has been sold

    I think if you watched him carefully then you would see that many of the headers he won were to team mates not simply aimlessly nodded on. With regards to Robins playing him, I think he can easily justify this by the goals Biamou contributed by the end of the season. If he had been played in...

    Ryan Haynes has been sold

    I agree with this. It is a daft statement to make that he should never pull on a City shirt again. He didn’t have a good season but he does seem to have been hampered by injury. He always seemed to be an honest player, giving it his best and there were glimpses there of the player that he...

    A timely warning for Bayliss

    I agree. It is almost as if some posters see that it is inevitable that he will go and that that won’t be a bad thing. I think first of all we would need to see what happens to the Maddison money before expecting that fees received for Bayliss will be spent on the team. I also think that what...

    Ryan Haynes has been sold

    Just to put this in context, Jody Jones, who almost every City fan, presumably even yourself, would agree is a good an an effective player had 4 assists in his 19 games before his injury. This figure is from Wikipedia, so might need checking, but it is an indication that Biamou wasn’t doing too...

    Ryan Haynes has been sold

    By my reckoning three before he scored his first goal. They were Jones v Notts County, Nazon v Luton and Doyle Crawley?. He also laid the ball on for McNulty at Luton when he was brought down, man sent off and Shipley scored from the free kick. Considering he barely completed a game in the first...

    Team of players no longer with us

    I had not heard aboutJohn Craven. When did he die?

    Becoming a Sky Blue

    Some great pictures there, some I hadn’t seen before. I particularly liked the ones of the 50s. The cobbler mending the players boots, the ladies ironing and mending the kit and the player stood in front of the UV lamp. Certainly far from the glamour game it was to become. My own introduction to...

    Ryan Haynes has been sold

    You are ignoring the fact that even in his non scoring first half of the season, Biamou was still playing well (despite what some on here would have you believe), winning headers, holding the ball up and providing assists. He contributed well to the team’s performance. Robins said on a number of...
