    I don't think lying to fans and selling snake oil is nothing.

    You can't just pretend you've sorted out a manager who is already working with the club so you sell tickets.

    That's not okay.

    Its far from OK, but then so is voting for Stuart McCall to return !! Madness in both instances, lets just hope it's not snake oil and is either going to happen or has been a massive ruse to throw us off the scent. Personally I'd like the latter because for all his good points, Adams is another dour scot and that worked really "well" with Hopkin and Stuart's sidekick.

    So do you find it acceptable for a CEO to lie to fans?

    Also if it doesn't happen then will you be criticising the club?

    All you need to get out of this league is pace, power, height and determination. If that leads to a less technical way of playing then who cares... let's face it, our fans hate technical possession football anyway. Adams' teams tend to be amongst the highest scorers in their division come the end - I don't particularly care how we acheive that, just so long as we do

    That's a serious inference you're drawing about him lying. When has he done this concerning the appointment of the new manager?

    He has certainly done little to dampen down the rumour mill but that's a world of difference from what you're implying.

    A bit ‘fake’ news to it. Wild allegation. Somewhat ‘Donaldian’ hype!

    I've never said he has lied.

    I asked Park the question because a manager won't be allowed to get involved in any transfer dealings of another club unless given permission or compo has been agreed.

    I think Adams will be our next manager and yes Sparks has never said its Adams or anyone to that matter.

    So, please don't dress up as something its not barring a question.

    How do you know they've lied ?

    Plus I'm 99% sure that the season tickets sold have gone to Bradford city fans not Derek Adam fans.
    I've bought one and I would of bought one regardless who the manager is .
    I'd of still bought one if they said they don't know who the manager is yet.


    You're winging over nowt, ypu know nothing like the rest of us, go outside and enjoy the sun you seem to be a very angry young man.

    Go for a pint with @Fordy117@Fordy117 after his shift at the car wash, I'm sure you'd make a very happy couple

    And if you've been watching City for a number of years but still feel like you've fallen victim to the "snake oil" trick when renewing then you probably should consider help with any important decisions going forward.

    What do you think the owners of Man City can just ring Klopp up and say do you think we should keep these players that are on our books?

    Really!

    No! Pointless.

    Work it out by answering my question.

    You are making assumptions, let's calm down and just see what happens over the course of this week before we start getting our knickers in a twist.

    You've got to take your hat off to that Fordy, although not necessarily put your hand in your pocket for the beers!

    I don't remember any lies. Sparks has been tight lipped we simply didn't allow for applications because we have identified someone.
