Just the mention of his name makes my blood boil!! Sacked Black just a few weeks after declaring him "The Messiah!" :facepalm:

We are also struggling to replace players who are seemingly out of form, as we have no one to bring in to replace them or to put pressure on their place in the team, and this highlights our overall lack of quality in the squad. This an absolutely key point and huge factor!! Bell and...

Ahh bingo!! We are the School of Punditry ! With a very good pass rate to boot!!

Well yes, but I think over the years we have only really focused on the club and not giving managers enough time and not supporting them. Doesn't the cold reality also prove that nearly all these managers weren't good enough? What has happened to Coleman, Dowie, Reid, McAllister, Butcher...

Yes indeed. Point is though the vast majority have failed elsewhere too or disappeared off the face of the earth. The blame has always been labelled on the club, but doesn't it point to both lack of board support AND managers not being good enough.

Looking back from after Sillett/Curtis era, here are the managers we have had at the club. Terry Butcher (1990–1992) Don Howe (caretaker) (1992) Bobby Gould (1992–1993) Phil Neal (1993–1995) Ron Atkinson (1995–1996) Gordon Strachan (1996–2001) Roland Nilsson (2001–2002) Trevor Peake...

'They didn't mention another player who was 30mins from being gone.' Do please enlighten us! I am intrigued. :thinking about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4zRe_wvJw8 The Marx Brothers + a mention of Lady Godiva. Can't get much better than that!! :D

Indeed. I am sure if he had turned up with just one leg we would have said fine and just got out the superglue.

I remember walking through the old Woolworth's in the precinct one day and there was Don Estelle, in the flesh and in this same garb, singing this very song. Customers just walked past and didn't give him a second glance.

So you don't want to know who scores the goals next week in our 2-1 against Derby on an overcast windy evening in front of 11,781 supporters?

Isn't he going to fail a medical elsewhere too though or because it's loan does that null and void that somehow with you being able to send the player back to his club should he get injured?

More likely. Maybe they want whoever is taking him to pay his entire weekly wage.

Possibly. Rather daft though bringing in a player the manager doesn't want though don't you think!

JON PARKIN will be allowed to leave Cardiff City when the next loan transfer window re-opens, report in Wales claim. The big striker - known as The Beast - saw a move to Coventry City collapse on transfer deadline day when he was unable to agree personal terms. The collapse of the planned...

I love the international breaks. Usually means two things. 1. England win 2. City don't lose.

True. For sure there is no easy answer. With you on that and just getting rid of Sisu is not the answer without any viable alternative.

A strong academy is the way forward when you have no money. Doesn't mean selling them at the drop of a hat though at the first opportunity. Bigi for instance looks like he will develop into a really good player. His value could sky rocket if he's given chance to develop and not be sold before...

No-one has come up with the answer as to why we tried to buy two strikers! Parkin and McDonald. McDonald was top priority according to AT. That kind of points to us getting McDonald anyway and Parkin being a replacement for Juke. Unless of course we were going to have Parkin AND McDonald to add...

Yes it does, but as I say just because we didn't sell him doesn't mean we didn't intend to. The CT quite clearly stated that the only reason further players weren't sold was because of the cash from Ben Turner and Scott Dann's sales. Maybe it is just in the wording. People on here are lauding...
