One of the best threads ever.

'Arry will come back and wax lyrical about how he has unfinished business as this proper football club with terrific supporters.

They aren't in a mess but it's pretty evident that the powers that be aren't satisfied that our commerical renvues are lower than Watfords and Cortese managed to deliver a training ground double to price and in double to time.

In reply to Les's post about Kat really meaning she wanted Cortese to stay.

So Gareth Barry and Lukaku would only have been able to play in the cups this season?

All that's missing is your, "this is a pointless thread with nothing worth commenting on"

Who said i did? or is that you making things up again?

The also have commercial revenues of £130m and a shirt sponsorship deal with the largest insurance company In the world. Ours were £6.7m and a shirt sponsorship deal with the largest IT company In Chilworth.

I'm going to opt into the car scheme, have £500 a month to spend and the car has to be German, can add up to £100 a month myself so an A5 is a possibility. Guess i'll be looking at similar now then, like the look of the A3 saloon i also like the new Merc CLA 220 CDI. Lovely looking car.

It'd be great to have them in the premier league! I wonder if they were to win the play offs at Wembley they'd invade the pitch again and sing about going to St Marys? I really enjoyed our 3 games against them in League one that season and it was great to see them trying so hard and so enthuisatic even if they were totally outclassed in every game. They did get finally get their goal that they were desperate for in the third game which was a nice touch. It would be great to see their fans rewarded with a few games against us and would be lovely for them if they were to get the chance to play us again next season, get a few pictures with the Ted Bates statue, buy some memorobila in the megastore etc. It'd be proof that dreams do come true for their fans.

That's a blatent lie.

He had a bad shoulder injury at the start of the season, if he's clear of that then he'd be a top signing.

No, you're right, that is that is my worry. A big part of his game is pace and running hard, so hopefully it won't effect his game too much. Fingers crossed.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy did alright after doing his whilst at PSV. Alan Shearer is another one.

People not having a clue what you are banging on about seems to be a common problem with you Les, it cant be you can it?

Agreed. Or maybe that decision wins City the title. WHat would have happened in the second half is impossible to say but we go in at half time 1-1, they need to win and are getting anxious, could we have held on for a draw or even win? Quite possibly. They are then 3 further points behind Liverpool with a trip to Anfield looming which they have to win. Lets not forget that in 1989 Arsenal won the league due to an equaliser that was scored in the 8th minute of injury time against us, time added on because the ref missed Paul Davis punching Glen Cockerill in the jaw. Had the ref seen it he'd have been sent off, we'd have been 2-1 up against 10 men and MIchael Thomas 91st minute title winner at Anfield on the last day of the season would have been irrelevant. Anyway, point being there is so much money at stake these days and every decison analysed and reviewed time after time that i think the refs do need some help. They still need the authority to make some decisions but with so much diving and every mistake being highlighted it would be in the interests of the integrity of the sport to offer them some video support.

A system where the referee makes all the decision except for big ones like penalties or can correct blatantly wrong decisions like the offside Saturday where a fifth official is watching in the stands on a video might work. Much like the goal line technology now play continues for a few seconds until the official in the stand can review the decision the play pulled back and the correct decision given. It's also cut out diving. That said though I'd have had nothing to moan about all weekend if citys goal had been chalked off so from that point of view never bring it in.

Funny isn't it how several of us warned of this and were given all sorts of abuse for it, called trolls, WUMs, and agendas etc yet stuck to our guns and now we've been proven right.

So when Hans says 'we've inherited a difficult situation financially" what he really meant was "the finances were great under Cortese and we wish he was still here" yes?

Primal Scream once told us to "Kill all hippies" and that never happened, so no.

What happened to this? "Clubs spend money they do not have, they spend next years money. They spend money that will not arrive for two years and say 'but we'll have some success and bring in more cash to cover the shortfall.' It cannot be sustained, in good times you need to save money for bad times. If we reach the priemer league I would like to think we would not need parachute payments. In good years you should put money away for bad years" Nicola Cortese March 2010.
