Oldham were in the PL in 92/93 and were relegated at the end of the following season and are still in league two, Bolton, Coventry and Swindon have found their way out of the division and Swindon back into it again. It will be interesting where the court case involving the two ex City players Lee Power and Michael Standing, and allegedly Gareth Barry, ends up.

 

Ah forgot about Coventry and Oldham.

 

Which bit of Stockport ? The one that spent £250k on Paddy Madden perhaps

 

I agree with you about the confidentiality and you seem to have experience of this, so why say anything that points fans in a certain direction.

 

On the contrary they knew who they wanted and did everything right to get him

 

The key is that message is disclose when ready. Does the MD of L&G tell its customers everything immediately. Course he doesn't. We need to let Ryan do his job and make announcements when the timing is right.

 

Where do you think we sit among football league clubs taking into account of income and expenditure, tradition, potential.
I would say top end of league one what do you think. Anything above is over Achieving and yes we are under achieving at the moment

 

Some of those are in the same league as us, so not actually above us are they. Its not an excuse , its a fact, we are exactly where we were when i started watching city in the 1970's. Small in football terms

 

I think we are doing pretty badly, it has to be said. But you only have to look at the league tables over the last three years and the number of managers we've gone through to confirm that. Massive rebuilding job needed and I believe it will be 2-3 years before we get promoted from this league. It will be horrible but now more than ever we need patience because you cannot buy yourself out of this league. It needs something special and something really ugly to get out of league two. We need to start making progress again, starting with this season. Get a manager in, get players in, get a backroom and data analysis all set up. Let's see how we can do with a blank slate and don't sack the manager until the end of the season.

I agree it's not good. But this won't get resolved by tomorrow or next week or even next month. We have to see what happens over the next 12 months and if it's backwards again, I would be genuinely shocked and appalled at the club. We HAVE to be better next year.

 

Why are we not smaller than Barnsley, in the past we have been very much alike the odd couple of seasons in the Premier, a few seasons in the Chapionship or League Two as it was, but Barnsley have been better than us after our fall from the Premiership even though as we did they went through an administration, similar crowd capacity as ours, and they can match us for crowds even though we get football on the cheap.

 

Sunderland and Newcastle are massive and should be finishing top 10 in the premier league year on year but don't .
Bradford city as a club has lacked real investment to be able to achieve sustained success for decades.
All the clubs you mention will at some point be above us and at others below us. Its the nature of the game. Unless we get an arab billionaire to drive us forward like Man city, who at one point were at the same level as us.

 

And several that lived permanently above us have gone or are out of the league. Get a grip

 

No, now that Blackpool have recovered we are OFFICIALLY the shittest run club in the land.
