g) New half time entertainment?

 

A man dressed as a duck runs around the centre circle. 3 randomly selected season ticket holders have 1 minute each to fire as many balls at the duck from an oversized 'gun' that works similar to a tennis ball launcher. One point is awarded for every ball that hits the duck and 3 for every ball that hits the duck off his feet. The winning season ticket holder recieves a free season ticket for the following season. We can afford to give away 19 season tickets.

 

h) Picture in the boardroom?

 

Why just one? The Dell, 1976, Matty vs Arsenal, The Fans of 03.

I guess we'll just have to look at all the other players that have turned down a contract at Man City. There's plenty to choose from.

On a serious note, I do wonder: is the Swiss getting footballing advice from the right people? Obviously he's a great businessman and good guy but unless he knows what the fans are thinking already, then he needs someone to tell him. Otherwise he could end up feeling shocked when Tony Adams gets booed on his unveiling press conference.
