    Couldn't agree more.

    Not going for top 3. We will replace James Vaughan but wont. 1st lie. Just want to survive this season. No ambition. We'll have a competitive budget and team Lolzz joke 2nd lie. We wont have a clueless manager that doesn't talk bollox and won't tinker.

    BUT I CLAP REALLY HARD. And We'Re nOt bURy.

    Send it to Rhodes, Sparks, Rupp, Parker I will buy them all that tee shirt if they need reminding how badly this club is doing.

    It's embarrassing mate but true.

    Don't know why this chat around a new ground comes up at times.

    It's not exactly a shit hole..... Have you seen the state of some of the grounds at our level and beyond... We're a 4th division team.... Least of our problems currently.

    Why? We barely can afford to assemble a competitive promotion chasing squad, so a new ground?

    This..Rhodes and then McCalls comments recently have just made people lose the spark for the club. People are starting to wake up about what this club is really about.

    Full of yes men (dancers), lacks ambition and drive. Club going nowhere and now that has been confirmed by Rhodes and McCall.

    The club is just so far behind on and off the pitch, it's unbelievable.

    One of the Bargain Hunt presenters, Caroline Hawley, is married to John Hawley who played for City in the 80's.

    Lovely words.

    Reality check, fourth division team with more than adequate stadium. Don't need one, we need leaders to lead and galvanise a plan to get out this pissing league first.

    It was fairly dead yesterday (Just 8k site hits when usually we generally we have around 10k on a non-matchday when nothing major is happening) but today's is even lower than that. Seems winning a match but still being crap isn't good for site traffic, either you need to be playing great and winning or playing crap and losing

    Anyway just realised United have a 12:30 kick-off as well. That is so awkward for me. With 3 monitors I just about have enough screen space to have an SSH window keeping an eye on the server resource utilisation, Twitter open, my excel spreadsheet open that I use to feed goal/redcard data into the tweets, my graphics folder with a goal and Red card image for every player and then the match full screen. Won't have room for 2 full-screen matches and all that other stuff. I'm going to need a 4th monitor I guess, luckily I have a broken one a client gave me to use for spare parts that I might be able to get to work with some Frankensteining.

    Oh has anyone used BT Sports web player recently? Am I going to need to use an illegal stream for the United match to get 1080p or have BT done something sky haven't and got their web player playing above 480p?

    Note to self: I must move this thread to 'General Chat' sometime but, as it's attracting some traffic, I'll leave it here for a while, maybe.

    First of all, why would a bunch of corrupt Arab royals looking to sports wash their backwards countries profile even want to buy a League 2 club, they have only gone after Derby because they are close enough to realistically get PL in a couple of seasons (Although mind you they may be League 1 if they don't turn things around). I'm guessing they would have gone for a PL one but I'm not sure the PL would actually allow two clubs to be owned by the same family even if they aren't directly owned by the same person but this may give them a backdoor to basically using Derby as Man City B.

    And second of all would you even want such owners with the baggage they bring and knowing you are basically a PR exercise? Mind you Newcastle fans were happy being sold to an even worse regime in the area so maybe City fans would be fine with it

    Indeed Mr Gibb would be pushed to get a better return for the pension fund but if City were to move out for whatever reason the lands not the most valuable I can think of Its a two way street he needs the club as much as the club needs him rumours of a return to a shared revitalized Odsal won't be music t his ears

    How are they going to pay for this mythical new ground? Magic beans? We haven't got a pot to piss in.
