    I certainly wouldn't want to see our club in a third Administartion. But how would tyour suggestion work under the EFL's current rules?

    That wasn't my point but the salary cap is certainly designed in part to avoid lower league clubs getting into financial difficulties.

    So c'mon, how would the EFL 'throw the book at us' as you suggest if we 'sailed close to the wind' within their rules?

    Our squad is almost identical to last season with the same manager that ended it. You can see why some would make predictions

    What exactly is their plan then? Apart from some person providing ahem "data" -probably from his Ipad-what sets them apart from us. Looking at the vast majority of their signings it would be a meh from me if we had signed them. We tried for Sarcevic I am sure I read that somehwere and we all know about Doyle. Other than that what makes them so special in your eyes?

    The squad is no where near identical to last season. A lot have left and been replaced with new players. Still time for more to come in as well.

    No not realy if we had played the full season out then maybe I would have agreed, not sure any manager would have turned our latter season form around very much like the Grayson situation.
    I would hope Stuart has done his homework on our player situation and can get them to play his style of football, who knows as someone posted Zeli has played more minutes preseason than he did in the whole of last season, could he be another Mark Marshall who thrives on taking defenders on.

    A little unclear as to what relevance Derby has to the point I made that at the time of City's admins the EFL were not imposing points deductions for insolvency events, other than to reinforce my point

    I also don't understand the reference to Derby. We didn't suffer any points deduction when we entered Administration in either of the two years. And that's for the simple reason that the points deduction for Administration wasn't introduced by either the FL or the PL until around 2005!

    Wrexham, the season after City's last admin were the first.
    I thought Derby's relegation was down to only having gained only 11 points in the season

    I have said many times we should have an independent director of football type who has a longer term plan. He hires the manager and gets a recruitment team together. Be it stats, analytics or whatever. Then when the manager goes the house of cards doesn’t fall in like it did when Parky left us. You have a solid foundation which you just Replace one piece. And it helps at this level too as you can’t afford to keep paying compensation every season like we do.
    This gives them a solid footing for me in the future. Like I say it’s all opinions but from the outside looking in they look to have a plan. What is ours?
    Just because you don’t know the players doesn’t make them crap. So what if they don’t have a name you recognise?

    If we start badly, let’s say lose 10 from first 15 what do we do if we have to sack McCall? I think Rhodes magic book only has McCall’s number in it under managers

    Are you talking about Derby and the stadium Owning rights? If so I believe they were found not guilty
