You missed the biggest mistake of all - not appointing Jackett. That Boddy fella - completely hopeless.

I hear what you are saying Briles. On the other hand it was always inevitable that one of the big 3 would be leaving. MR and his team are brilliant at planning ahead; and I am absolutely certain that plans are in place. I'm also not buying into the argument that MR will not be given funds to...

Just when I thought it wasn't possible - SBT pre-season madness has just hit whole new levels of absurdity.

My best guess is that this post will not be in the running for any literary prizes in the end of season awards. :)

Kevin Keegan - rejected by us, did alright for himself at Liverpool and Hamburg. Chris Waddle - similar Brian Clough - very close to being appointed before lifting successive European Cups with Forest

Just to offer a counter view on Doyle being too young; Garry Gillespie joined us at the age of 18 after just 20 odd appearances in Scotland. Would make it into most City all time 11s for anyone in my age group. I’m looking forward to seeing young Doyle making a real contribution this season.

Disagree slightly Tom. Dabo was certainly poor at RCB, I'm sure he didn't want to play there but it wasn't his fault that he was asked to do so - that's with the coaches. He's also a player who looks off the pace for a couple of games after injury - but that might also result from being...

I thought it wasn't possible after the last few years of pre-season but I have to say that the hysterics this year are already reaching whole new levels. Can't wait to see what's next!

Please do so, having one less moron in the stands is obviously good news for the rest of us .

So by your logic we shouldn’t have signed Huckerby (not wanted by Newcastle) or Gyokeres (not wanted by Swansea)?

“Tim, what are we going to do?” Said by no other club owner.Ever. Except in Tim’s extremely vivid imagination resulting from a hugely inflated ego. But don’t worry lads - our financial problems are over. We’re partnering with Micky Adams who’s training a few students to kick a ball around...

Well since you ask procdoc....! I will try to be balanced. My honest take is that his knowledge of what is happening on the pitch isn't the best (to be fair most of us including myself pretend to understand far more as to what is happening on the pitch than we actually do), his sometimes...

Followed of course by even more moaning and panic about the new signings being useless; Moore was written off by some on the basis of a pre season friendly.

Very moving all round. I met Jordan after one of the games at St. Andrews and had a chat - very decent, genuine and pleasant - a total credit to his Dad and family. That goal at Wembley to secure the game - a Cov lad playing for his home town club - in front of our fans massed behind that goal...

Say what you want about our Joy but absolutely no one can deny that the Sky Blue designer handbag is a nice touch. She’s truly converted as a fan in my eyes just on that alone!

I don’t have as much insider knowledge as others but I know that Robins has become increasingly frustrated at our inability to convert chances created - so I would not be at all surprised if a class striker is on the radar. And given the professionalism of the club these days - I’m sure there’s...

I think we need to accept reality - likely that 1 of our best players or 2 will be sold for decent fees. That’s the price of a successful season. If a Premiership team or even one of the relegated teams from the Prem wants to buy Vik/Hamer - the player will want to leave for personal ambition...

Disappointing results at home in the final half of the season for sure. But some comments on here over the last 48 hours are way over the top and very negative. Over 4 years Robins on a limited budget has taken us from L2 to the top half of the Championship. He has consistently improved the...

It’s not really the point is it? The suggestion I think is that we change our style of play which has been so successful for us (and also brilliant to watch) to something that is completely against our identity, current squad that we have built and akin to Wimbledon mid 80s (without any...

Respectfully disagree. I love the fantastic style of football we’ve played under Robins as we’ve achieved promotions and improved technically year over year. No interest in watching a team that boots it into the stratosphere and into the mixer.
