    Not been to a match since Walsall away that convinced me that today was inevitable
    Going to the Wimbledon match for two reasons only
    1 for the memorial
    2 to give big Jim a clap
    After that I shall be making my way home
    I do hope everyone else does the same too late for us but these players really ought to have their registration confiscated

    Dennis - do you think the outcome of the window and its apparent difference to Hopkin's stated aims might have influenced his decision to walk?

    No surprise but still a gut punch. 6 seasons in league one, 5 of them pretty damn decent. Always thought we'd leave this league at the other end.

    Rock bottom is shameful for all we had available to us and how it was so dreadfully mis-used.

    A monumental fall from grace. Never thought it would happen again after the glory years. It’s disgusting this has been allowed to happen. Rupp has a lot to answer for and a lot of repair work to do.

    And took a massive gamble on a player that has been plagued with injury throughout his career and surprise, surprise, has been injured for the majority of his time with us.

    Rupp shares none of the blame? Really?

    I didn’t mention Rupp.
    He has presided over this catastrophe.
    However he has funded it.

    The players aren’t fit to wear the shirt and deserve all of the brickbats coming their way.

    I keep hearing he has funded this season but has he actually? Debt around £2m according to JR earlier in the year. If he funded it why such debt?
    @Dennis@Dennis made a compelling argument around Rupp, the covering of debt and companies House. If this was the case, why did wetherbywhaler say it would take us 5 years to recover?

    Agree on the latter part mind.

    At last its official were down.
    Do I rate Bowyer?
    Strangely enough yes I do.
    Do I think this close season will be entertaining on here.
    Yes of course it will.
    Would I have it any other way?
    No the writing was on the wall when Collins was made manager and the squad assembled was so disjointed and lopsided even a complete Bantam virgin could see the non shape to our team after only a few games.
    Macclesfield Town away in the cup as never been forgotten by me.
    Amateurs everyone of them.
    The trend continued through out the season no leadership,no captain,no wingers no strikers of note and a goalkeeper with no challenger on the books.
    It's been a disgrace since the opening game of the season.
    I will be at Scunny but my aim is to support a man who has the task of rebuilding in the summer.
    He gets 100% backing from me the rest can jump of a cliff and drown.

    I am sure someone has the answer, but in my 62 years supporting City l can't remember so many league defeats in a season.

    In our entire history, there has only been 5 instances of which we have lost more than 25 times in a season. We could be looking at our joint worst record ever, with 30 defeats over the course of a season.

    Personally, I don't believe it was coincidental. But that's conjecture on my part.
