    There was a piece about City on Radio 5 last night with Jason from Width of a post.

    You can hear it on BBC Sounds. Gordon Smart last night (28th) about 1 hour 8 mins in.

    Can you give us an overview of what was said? As Onside says, it's greyed out.

    This giant isn't sleeping, it's dead.

    What's this sleeping giant bollox? It's a myth built off the back of BFGs tenure and a load of cheap ticket sales under jr Rhodes. That don't equate to a sleeping giant

    The size of the City was mentioned and obviously our foray into the PL. You can attach all kinds of names to us from our previous history, it does not mean a thing, what it needs now is a root and branch assessment of our structure, our identity, our football. Until we very painfully look at ourselves and identify what we need to do and formulate a plan and identify the finance we will continue to slide over the edge into the NL. I cannot emphasise enough how quickly and thoroughly this is required. If we continue to wander round the supermarket without a plan of what we want, it will waste money and time. Rupp needs to get this sorted now, not at the end of the season.

    I have always questioned this nonsense about us being a sleeping giant. We've never been anywhere near being qualified to be such.

    It’s all hype propagated on social media As Dave said earlier, we are mahoosive.

    Like 90% of stuff on s/ media it’s utter b/s dreamed up by attention seekers consequentlyread by the hard of thinking who actually believe it;)

    City have mainly been a lower league side, in their history, might be a big team to play in the division 4, with a big ground and following that's about it.

    Spot on Rog, sleeping giants don't spend 1928 to 1985 in the bottom two leagues.

    It is an ex giant, it has ceased to be.
