    You say that but if he doesn't want to be here, would do more harm than good him coming back. We need to build togetherness and team spirit for next season - bringing a player into that mix that doesn't want to be a part of that could leave us with an upset apple cart allover again.

    Results with big budgets yes. And then there's also the matter of him having a big budget at Posh and getting sacked after a few months. So again, tell me why he's better than Bowyer.

    Great. Thanks for that. He’s still a winner though.

    And Edin is a "symptom" of Rhodes the two are synonymous with each other !

    Yes I wanted him for that reason..He provokes a response on and off the pitch. We don't have to get on with him ? We need him to deliver results and I vehemently contend that he would have faired better than Bowyer. Rhodes needn't and wouldn't have offered Evans a two year deal a third of the way into "The audition". We could have left that to the end of the season. As it is Rhodes has become fixated with "Nice Guy Gary" and paid zero attention to demanding results that "might" have helped us at least make a fist of it to the last ?. Bowyer has had a free ride and Rhodes has facilitated that. Only consolation is that from the off next season neither will have anymore time; all the targets need to be on board; players shifted out and hit the ground running from Day 1 after a successful pre-season. Anything less will be totally unacceptable. I do not expect to be staring up the table at Salford or Solihull blazing away and neither should have better players than Bowyer will have available. I want Rupp to give Bowyer all the brass it takes to take Adam Rooney from Salford He will be next year's League 2 top scorer !

    Because my cat couldn't have done worse than Bowyer and Evans is a far more accomplished football manager than my cat.:)

    Bronco: Rhodes = Rahic = Rhodes. It's all in the same equation !

    Well seeing as Rhodes is only on a "temporary contract" and no financial stake in the club. I suppose he must if his man doesn't hit the grounding running in August. If I was Bowyer I'd spend no further time on team affairs this season. Abandon training to Drury & McAlone and start getting those agents and players off "speed dial" and start signing players now before anyone else. His number one striking target has to be Adam Rooney out of Salford ! That would set down a marker no club in League 2/NL should go anywhere close to Bradford City in the competition for the best players. We need 18-20 top professionals at that level and no more. Your time starts now Gary !

    Certainly is and he'll be top scorer in League 2 ! Bowyer needs to tell Rhodes he wants him !

    Yes he had something that Rahic didn’t have and that is a good slice of luck. I don’t share your analysis of character I think there are strong similarities. However, Richmond also had something that Rahic did not have very good charisma and the ability to convince ppl to invest in the club. Plus we at least enjoyed the ride in our ignorance before it all went bump.

    The Premiership is so heavily loaded against clubs that get promoted from the Championship competing.
    You look at the Premier League and see that at best there are only 6 teams that have a chance of winning it.

    Look at Man Utd!!! Embarrassing

    I think only 2 teams now have a chance of winning the PL and I am not talking this season. The next 5 at least.

    To be honest it should be Manchester City's trophy every season with the financial clout they have, but as someone posted the other day it will take many years for Manchester City to get out of the shadows of the biggest club in Britain and possibly the World.

    Hopefully the government bodies in football will come down hard on Man City though if they find fault in what's allegedly been carried out. It's a joke what they've allegedly done with their finances.

    However, yes Man City should be winning it every year but Man City will never ever, ever be a big club until they've won the CL.
