    Crowd today may reach 20k

    That will be a huge thanks to Thorn and the new chairman who has slapped new contracts on the table for 3 of our best players and handed the managers job to the supporters favourite. Positive stuff going on at the Ricoh.:wave:

    Are we in celebratory mood?

    I would think King's new contract would be a base salary of around £12k a week. Win bonuses and draw bonuses plus extra cup games will top that by some 20%. What would definitely be in his contract will be a bonus of number of appearances (so if he stupidly suspends himself he will suffer) and a...

    Are we in celebratory mood?

    ...you don't think Marlon King owes a huge debt of gratitude to CCFC and it's supporters? he can exit for a side once again like Wigan at best considering his history recently and may find warming a bench (as he did at Wigan) among his best options. So why would he not be a bigger cog in...

    More skulduggery! Lovely stuff.....but gives hope to the believers.

    Are we in celebratory mood?

    So Thorn gets the job deservedly and according to all the players just what they all wanted too! So will the likes of King, Gunny and Westy then now back that up by signing on the dotted line and show a real positive outlook towards a promotion challenge next season? Ken Deleiu has shown his...

    A Royal Plea

    1. How would you describe your season so far? GOOD START, VERY POOR MIDDLE, GOOD FINISH. 2. You sacked Aidy Boothroyd in March, was it the right time for him to go? ABSOLUTELY 3. Who would you like to see get the job? and where do you think you'll finish next season? ANDY THORN (I don't see...

    Rival Approaches

    Got to be fair here. King would be a huge blow to us. Not sure we would be able to replace him. We need to sign him up on a new deal quickly and lets face it he owes us. It's a two way street with him at this juncture but if a Prem side come in I would understand him wanting to leave. As for...

    Thorn's chances slipping away?

    Deegan was on the bench today. As for being judged...this is his 'trial' period. The world is a harsh place yes. But we have SISU who want results they probably could not care less about pretty football. As for players all wanting Thorn I'm not surprised but having them all as 'mates' is...

    Thorn's chances slipping away?

    You want the job then you get a point at least with seconds remaining on the clock. Now as I said previously the last 4 games starting with today at the Boro' will be Thorns opportunity. Scunny (who lost at home today and fighting for their lives so makes our draw look all the more poorer)...

    Matchday #44; Middlesbrough vs City; 25.4.2011; Riverside, Kick off @ 3pm

    Was Thorn naive to begin that defensive selection today with Wood and Cameron on the bench? Again no Deegan given a few minutes at least from the bench again. games running out to see him play.

    Elliot Ward

    Always rated him particularly at this level and he had to suffer two managers who failed to 'play footballing teams. Ironic slightly that when we have a manager in AT who likes to play from the back we no longer have Ward at the club! He certainly looks like he may be back in the premiership...

    Matchday #44; Middlesbrough vs City; 25.4.2011; Riverside, Kick off @ 3pm

    I will be amazed if we can hold on with this defence. As for King. Bad back? hell I have a bad back but it would not stop me playing. he was fine after Scunny so for a fit footballer what an earth could have happened in the interim?

    I'm Ready To Take Charge - Thorn

    What Thorn says is pretty damming of the style of play endured under AB?

    We weren't that good today were we?

    ...as i said the other day the final few games will show us what Thorn can do for us. We had not played any top six sides since he took over and as our season is very much over it's the precise time to see how his motivational skills and his plan B works. The Boro' won well today away from...

    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    Yep that just about sums things up. Anything with the right group of people and the will to do it is possible. Just don't think it's as one sided though for the council as you may think. Great debate and very informative for all. :wave: Perhaps oldskyblue we should debate the managerial...

    Tomorrow!

    Well as much as I like AT at the helm right now i would side with caution with such tough games yet to be played and see just how he copes with it. A week is a long time in football as they say. There may well be a substantially bigger selection of managers to choose from as the summer...

    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    That's very interesting oldskyblue. Just about confirms what I say. The council own the place and ultimately must listen to offers if they come their way. Anything is possible right? That 50 year lease can be surmounted. Not sure your figures on SISU are correct though at 50m? More like...

    Out of Contract Players

    There is quality in our squad but we are top heavy with a few who are perennial 'sick notes' such as Osborne. Let these go. The wages we free up could better quality to compliment the squad. As for Westwood and King I suggest the board get their finger out. Losing Westwood would not be so...

    "Aaron Wants To Get Rid Of Coventry"

    I think you would find he is now a much happier camper and possibly his agent will be looking for a new contract. There are not many clubs he would interest. he would be better here and keep developing.
