    What a fab picture of one of our former players

    Really? I thought it was a really sad spectacle to see tbh. Was miles off the pace (in a testimonial) and I was hardly surprised when Glenda left him out of the WC'98 squad abt 10 days later.

    January Fire Sales

    Ok Fred, and the January 2015 YouTube shopwindow video made by his family of his highlights didn't suggest that he was looking to leave at all?

    More breaking news?

    Wilder turned us down? When was this? I think you may have got it the wrong way round. In fact he hawked himself to us when Robin's left and he was manager of Oxford before leaving them for Northampton. After doing well there he got the Sheffield Utd job but I don't think he was ever linked to...

    Just a pointless memory

    Remember when Pressley's decision to watch games from the stands was one of the most controversial things we had to worry about?

    The runners and riders

    David Flitcroft. Bury fans wouldn't believe it. Slade or if possible Jackett for me.

    CWR post Cambridge phone in ....

    Well that alone ought to disbar his candidature. The last thing we should look for in a manager is being popular with the players. They need shaking up - the shitstorm of our ownership is letting quite a few of them off the hook.

    Who would take relegation ?

    But what on earth makes you think that this would be the trigger to SiSU going? All logic dictates they should have tired of it by now. The fact that they are still here suggests to me that they'd still be here if we were in the Conference.

    Kenny Jackett

    He WAS experienced though at getting Middlesbrough to the top of the table twice and failing to make the play offs. He kept telling us this. Remarkable then that he never seemed to reflect on why this happened twice (and then a third time). If Jackett was available (and resigning from...

    New manager - who do you want?? (realistic candidates only)

    Slade's last three jobs have been:- Leyton Orient Cardiff Charlton It's not as if he's frightened of taking over at a club whose owners have a poor reputation

    New manager - who do you want?? (realistic candidates only)

    Getting out of this league might not be a problem for the manager this year

    Why do you hate the Villa?

    The very reason I hate them. Growing up in Leamington in the 1970s/80s if you went to football you either supported us or the Vile. If you didn't you probably supported Liverpool, Manchester United or Leeds.

    Terrible decision from Venus

    Amazed that no one has said he made a terrible team selection to start the match against Chesterfield

    Andy Whing

    Kevin Gallacher (who had an almost God-like stature at city in my view ) only spoiled his copy book once. Missed the first four games of the season after pulling a calf muscle trying to keep his flip-flops on while on holiday.
