    The catchment areas are smaller than Peterborough, but the populations are far lower in the surrounding districts USG?

    Go outside the small conurbation of Peterborough there is nothing but fields as far as the eye can see.

    Well we can’t argue with results even if the performances don’t really merit it

    He is a UK citizen, like you. Stand in his shoes. Suppose you moved here from somewhere else and are a naturalised citizen. How would you feel if the government just seized all your assets with no justification?
    A different matter if his money comes from links with Putin and / or he is assisting Putin in some way. I haven't seen anything to suggest this is the case.
    The rule of law is a useful thing.

    To be fair, I don't have much of a sarcasm radar. Your post seemed to be what you meant to me.

    I think that's more like you backtracking, unlike you to retreat General

    City have to pay the electricity bill. So January they will have to sell.
    Bingo card.... We have to cut our cloth blah blah.

    It's the city way.

    Anyway.. I missed that bit about him selling up. Been on about it for months now. Good luck to him. He's nothing to do with city.

    Who said he was worth a million quid?

    I said I'd be disappointed if we sold him for a million if it derailed our promotion season.

    A million quid is not worth missing out on promotion.

    We wouldn't get promotion without Cook if selling Cook derailed our promotion push.

    I'm using simple English here, aren't I?

    EDIT: Just to clarify, my point is that MacAnthony would - and routinely does - sell his best players regardless of how it affects their season - regardless of if it halts a promotion or causes a relegation.

    That isn't how I want this club run, and I'd be extremely disappointed if we started doing that.

    How much Andy Cook is worth isn't really the point.

    Maybe start your sentence with the words ‘Hypothetically speaking.’

    I'm sure most people can follow the thread of an entire sentence without rage-quitting, but I note your objection ;)

    Sparky takes us up, we get established. DMac wants back in football-seems logical

    They like him because he talks about us a lot due to his pal Phil Ideson being on the podcast a lot and his relationship with Sparks seems to suggest he has an affection for the club.
    Steve Evans has an affection for the club according to those who want him as manager.
    I feel some need to have more open minds.

    I think he's a salesman that will always attract a certain fan because he sounds like he has a plan. One of Rupps biggest criticisms that always comes up whenever an ownership question arises is that he doesn't seem to have a plan, some might want to see that. From the time he sells, he's going to have months of links to us just with his ties with his podcast and friendship with Ryan and his past comments.

    But yeah i agree, seems to always have a limit at Peterborough and cant see why it would be any different here. His spell has to been seen as a success from taking a club that from fan base size, history, facilities should probably be a L2 team at the most, and has always flirted with the champ and been in it twice as well as the financial turnover. But with the amount he talks it up and the amount he spends, should it have been more successful? Probably.

    I suspect some or all of that are the real reasons for his sudden sale. Will be interesting to see what happens, perhaps a bid for Barry Fry's services would be a good move.

    Evans had an affectionate passion for the club when he was job chasing. End of.
