Another negative step in the debacle that Sisu have masterminded.
It just gets worse every day with them.

Yes because it was clear he was willing to stay....unlike Moussa and Christie!

Good point, but early signs are hardly promising.

Do the people that have bought season tickets or go to sixfields realise now that we will have nothing but kids and last payday donkey loanees left come the start of the season?
Sisu are more bothered about winning a stupid courtcase than the football side.
Please open your eyes,We are dying a slow death,With certain relegation.

NOPM doesn't help, although I know that's the owners fault for moving us. There was plenty of talk of starving them out, this is one of the consequences.

That being said, even at the Ricoh we'd still would have been cutting the wage bill.

I'm not sure how many that don't go to sixfields "are NOPM"? Personally, I just go to away games, and do everything I normally do, bar attending sixfields. I think that's what most do too?

Probably, I know a few on here don't even buy their away tickets from the club just to withhold their £1.50 booking fee, and say they won't give their money to shitsu. Did you buy a shirt or anything this season? I must say I haven't but more because I haven't been going to games full stop.

The season before we got relegated from the Prem, Garry and Robbie scored the bulk of the goals, the club sold Robbie and let Garry go. The Pundits forcast relegation and they were right. So far Clark, Moussa have gone, when Willson has gone you will not have to be psychic to forecast relegation. SP has to find 3 top players.

I would remind you that Moussa was a free in the first place. There are very good players out there looking for a second chance. As i say, I'll wait and see.

Says who?

You think Murphy was still interested in staying here and taking a wage cut when he and his agent found out championship clubs wanted him?

Same as Robins, he only left because of SISU. Nothing to do with the apparent huge pay rise and being closer to his family....

"Steve Waggott said the club would now step up its search for a second senior goalkeeper" - I wouldn't call Lee Burge SENIOR

“We worked hard to keep Joe but the pull of Championship football and the improved deal that brings made it difficult." - Nope, Murphy went public and said he wanted to stay and he that there wasnt a contract on the table before the summer,

Why do people at the club keep saying "worked hard"

Money is important to very one involved (on the pay role) in football. But also for players, coaches and managers is the chance to better yourself, move to a club with ambition. Now Huddersfield will not really be challenging for the automatic places, but they have a higher chance of getting near the playoffs in the championship than we do in L1. We are a car crash of a club and will be until our owners either change I.E go, or do a complete U turn and start to listen to fans, treat them with respect, get them engaged and get us back to the Ricoh. Until then we will continue to leak good players, and managers until we no longer exsist.

they are working hard, takes a lot to get the club to where we are now. Just wish they'd stop before there's nothing left.

I'm gutted to see him go, but not too surprised. When I spoke with him briefly at the awards night, he didn't seem as though he was someone we were in talks with. He sounded like he wanted to stay; why wouldn't he? Unless Burge has a blinding pre season, he'd have almost been guaranteed first team football here and at his age and in or around the Ireland team, it would only be a good thing for him to stay.

Oh well. We move on.

Good luck Lee! Hope the step up isn't too big for you. Would like to see an experienced keeper come in though, just incase it all goes wrong for him early on and a change is needed. No good Burge staying in goal if he's making howler after howler every week (not that I'm suggesting he will, but we'd not help him by playing him week in week out if he's doing badly, nor would it be wise to replace him with someone even younger and also untried)

No doubt the 'new' goalkeeper will be someone out of contract in L2 who is likely to be about 33, on a last contract, and happy to sit on the bench most of the time. He will probably be worse than Dunn. I have never doubted that they intended to have Burge as the first choice, whether he is any good or not.

Alternatively, perhaps Oggy could be our keeper cover. He's only 57, after all.

Just a shame he can't keep his hands off our players from up in Yorkshire.
Best of luck to Murphy next season - now we need a new good keeper (no offence to Burge) to help with our leaky defence.

That is our problem, that is why we will be stuck where we are.

We have just lost our best asset in our already rocky defence.

So how many times can you expect to loose one of your key players and survive.

Our luck with goalkeepers has to come to an end some time and as our defence is the worst in the league now he has gone I do fear the worst.

Suffice to say the club now is in the worst position it has been in for over 40 years, closer to 50. Murphy stopped last season becoming a humiliation on the pitch. Unless a keeper of similar quality is found or the defence has a miraculous improvement we are in big trouble.

Not to mention the pressure being put on Wilson to score the bulk of the goals, unless an effective partner is found.

Unless Sisu do that U turn & return to the Ricoh, there is no future for our team.
There is no new ground planned. It is a fairytale designed to increase pressure on the owners of the Ricoh by a devious Hedge Fund.
Anyone going to Sixfields and putting money into Sisu's legal bills is working against the best interests of CCFC.
Murphy, Moussa, Christie, very likely Wilson, all part of the exodus.
They aren't interested in playing for CCFC in that morgue of a ground, with owners with no ambition whatsoever.
Anyone who supports Sisu in this should hang their heads in shame.

Same as me but it has to come to an end and we are now at our lowest ebb ever can't see us surviving.

For the first time ever I am actually embarrassed at telling people I am a City fan!

Until the love for my club has completely gone I will keep fighting for the cause unfortunately we are falling like lemurs over that cliff, I am on the edge looking over now.

Joy has told me personally that she is 100% going to build this ground.

Why should I not believe her?

Unfortunately it will come to late for the majority of us.
