    Lee Power reported 30 mins ago saying Admin unless he can sell to US investor and there is an injunction in place stopping sale to anyone. Going to be interesting.

    From a club point of view I agree at this moment, however should Mr Rupp want to up the value of the club and right the wrongs of his ex partner I can think of worse things to do than pay to the end of the season should we magically get a playoff spot. It would certainly bring him back a lot of good will listen by the fans especially if it resulted in promotion. If we got the opportunity however it wouldn’t surprise me if we said we can’t afford to play them.

    Well most clubs got their CEO to make comments. Not hide behind a marketing person.

    Seems there is only you making an issue of the Director of Comunication doing exactly that.

    You wasn't making an issue about Gary Bowyer boring everyone and playing dreadful football, so I don't expect you to have any issues concerning the club.

    Certainly not, but the money from the McBurnie deal was substantial.

    Gareth Barry’s agent who is involved with this is former Bradford City player Michael Standing !!!

    Actually quite easily.

    I expect the new average wage for leagues 1+2+championship will be approx 50% of what it is now. Knock that % off 2.8 and you get not far off 1.25.

    Its a buyers market and the club that can sell itself the best will get the better players if all clubs have the same salary cap.

    Some well dodgy going's on here. Looks like Power has been reading books by Harry Redknapp on how to run a football club.(allegedly)

    All 3 already have spoken recently as you well know. Nowt much more to say right now.

    I will happily wait until a final decision has been made by the EFL about how to end the season and then hear from the powers that be at City.

    I fully expect planning for the next seasons player recruitment is already in full swing and calls may already have started to sound out potential candidates.

    You are a symptom of the new age of supporters who need the news NOW. Its like a drug for you. I bet you have news now feeding into your imaginary merc.

    You would not have coped in the 80's when you either had to ring an 0800 number ( and get a bollocking from your parents for the resulting phone bill :mad: ) to get news or wait until the T&A was delivered or the Pink on a Saturday after the game.
