I have a bartender cat for those fans who are suffering Januaritis Drinks anyone.

 

What !

 

If this works this is Pixie demolishing my little 'City' bears!

 

I don't understand what's happened with Riley. He came to us very highly rated, with lots of MUFC expecting him to do really well.

What went wrong? Edin factor?











These are just a few... I could go on. We haven't seen any of this.

 

Well I would say we have a totally shot player devoid of any confidence. He may turn out to be great but i think he needs to move on and get is mojo back.

 

Tallinn, I don't think Stefan actually said what you seem to think he did and as a consequence the goal posts being moved, as you put it is hardly a runner so please don't fall into the @Fordy 117 Stefan bashing trap.
I don't believe Stefan ever actually said what you quote as "....he'd get us out of this mess and there would be money for players". If he did and you can point me to the source, I apologise in advance.

What I think you will find he said was City fans deserve much much better than they had got over recent times and he gave an undertaking that he was going nowhere and would continue to invest. He has done both as far as I know and can see. He has started attending more games, has had regular meetings with Julian Rhodes and staff and most important of all he is investing by cash injections (and substantial ones at that) to keep the Club afloat both last summer and very recently after his nominee Chairman screwed up. Were it not for that I think we would have been in Admin, or worse by now and certainly looking at L2 football next season or no Club at all. Make no mistake but thankfully we are past that now.

Before you come back and say why did Stefan not know what was going on in detail, that is not the role of an investor, they are more like the Shareholder in any commercial undertaking, parting with money and expecting a return, NOT involved in the day to day running. It is only when things start to be manifestly wrong that any investor or shareholder would express concern/start to be more closely interested and that is what has happened since last summer to the point where the investor has had to take matters into his own hands, just as Shareholders in a company can vote a Chairman off their Board.

Things went manifestly wrong in Stefan's eyes when Edin suddenly realised we were 'skint' (to use the words of Eric McManus and Pavlov elsewhere) and it all went from there but I don't believe he ever said what you think he said.

Not falling out just trying to be right, as I believe our Club will be eventually.

 

Such a shame we couldn't have been the environment to allow him flourish and make the change from the U23s to League One. Based on the comments i've read, he had a good work ethic, attitude and drive. So frustrating that we've managed to train all that out of him...

 

In the rough and tumble of league 1 what position is he most suited to? Hard to judge him fairly during the Edin Rahic shit show but the games he did play in he looked miles away from first team football.
U23 football gives little idea of how good a player is going to be at first team level. Even for accounting how bad we actually were in the first half of the season i would have expected to see some sort of evidence that made him stand out as potential prospect at league one level and i didn’t see that.
Hope the lad proves City wrong but its going to take a big turnaround.

 

Exactly. Look at how the U23 teams fare in the Checkatrade. Football at that level is a world away from first team, professional football.

 

I'd heard slightly more but it's in the same ballpark.
