    Is spending money on good players actually the answer though?

    Is there no other way?

    Perhaps a well timed article or two about how the 'fans deserve better' or how 'Rupp is here for the long haul'?

    Maybe a twitter campaign?

    Scarf parade??

    Steve Bruce the PL manager with an £8m pay off who said that was his last job in football? Yeah right.

    Well I think Andy Carroll is a good shout. If Jack Wilshere see's that Carroll can get game time at City, then maybe he'd also consider joining us. Probably could do a job in League 2.

    Is that any different to all the owners in the past? How many of the previous "threw money" at the club?

    They don’t because they have been Rhodes.

    When an accountant is basically showing you the ways to not spend money then you won’t.

    And with this post it kind of explains why we won’t go anywhere as a club and why us fans are all mugs following the club that the owner is using like some project.

    As soon as he appointed Twitter boy as CEO you knew he was done.

    What an awful owner we have.The club is going no where fast.

    I suspect we will be hit with the January window "carrot on the stick" everytime we get thrashed this year. Without any serious money the inevitable 31st January fiasco awaits.

    If there is indeed any money available for the playing budget, and a real appetite to change, it would be worth looking to see if there any quality non-contract players who would consider City and could be signed and trained up now, if they exist?

    You can't build a solid foundation on sand though. At least Rupp had the good sense to ship his mate out of the equation. Dread to think what would have happened if Rahic had been left to drive the ship longer than he did.

    I do wonder though, what happens IF we get promoted. Rupp is going to have to shell out some money. Do you think us going up a league, is going to give him confidence to do that?

    We can only hope we can find some free transfer or no cost loan players capable of improving the team and getting us promotion
