"Mike asked ME to ask you...."

It shows we have huge ambition. We might not actually sign any of these players but this is just a minor detail.

I thought this would be trotted out. The CoC have been summoned.

We won't pay the money. If we won't pay the money why are we looking to sign these players? Why bother?

Unless we get in decent centre forward to replace Guly you most certainly will not. Our away form has been poor for a long time and now our home form is patchy. You're utterly deluded if you think we can stay in the top 2 without strengthening and even then we've got to reverse the decline that has been allowed to set in.

My posting style is how i've always posted. I'm right in what i say and i think you agree with me, but you just can't bring yourself to accept what you see in front of your eyes. If any of us were having this conversation down the pub there would be realism in what we say, but as it's on here people like you shroud yourselves in a veil of happy clappery.

All these players we keep trying to sign we don't get. Cortese isn't doing a very good job on that front.

We have got amongst the richest owners in the land. If they wanted to push us on a seize the opportunity they could easily do that.

Hang on a minute. We were flying but now we are not. Compared to early on in the season we are in decline. FACT. This January window was a window of opportunity. An opportunity to halt the decline, but instead of that we've allowed the decline to manifest and turn into a rot. The pack is now closing in and the way we are going we'll be lucky to finnish top 6. To allow that to happen is not the sign of ambition, it's the sign of a club retreating from the vision of marcus Liebherr.

Yes, but we haven't pushed on from the days of Marcus Liebherr. This isn't really about Cortese because Cortese is nothing. He's just a front for the Liebherr family and I get the distinct impression that they are not as enthusiastic as their father.

Our bubble burst a couple of months ago and it should have been a priority to address that early in the transfer window. we have lost the momentum now and instead of a proactive strategy we are now in the position of having to turn around a rot that has set in. That isn't good management however you try to dress it up. The season is slipping away. I just don't get why some of you lot don't see what is happening in front of your eyes.

It reinforces nothing. It's just words. It's about time Cortese started backing the manager and signing some players.

P/ssing the lefties off nicely.

You could start with why is a fans flag, payed for by fans, not allowed to be seen by fans?

Indeed. I want to ask him about the Colonel Sanders flag.

It reminds me of that bond film where the young girls are taken from all over europe and subjected to mind control so once released they can do the dastardly work of the villain.

It's the easy option instead of doing fans forums.

Put in 10 mil bids for 20 mil players. It's not every club that can attract the commercial manager from Man City. This club IS going places

Don't be silly. Until Saint Clarke disagrees with a discussion IT WILL STAY UNLOCKED.

I notice that Saint Clarke locked the "Cortese is the issue NOT Adkins" thread (despite it being popular) at the first opportunity simply because he didn't like the subject being discussed.

We've just effectively signed Puncheon so the CoC says no.

Andy you're always right about everything and it is most enjoyable.

Public relations/marketing for a well known tobacco company.

You love the CoC?
