Paul, I've said this myself, Sam for his football knowledge and personality, and tan for the business side of things, for me, a dream team! But will it happen? Highly unlikely sadly. :old: :bluebird:

That clown constantly makes themselves look a tit.

Who says it’s shit or bust apart from a really poorly written article?

I just wish everyone would get behind the club rather than constant snipes.

‘Tan isn’t putting anything in apart from keeping our club afloat’

Other owners weren’t even doing that hence why we weren’t paying our frigging debts. Ffs.

The post-Covid world (if in deed we are actually in post-covid) shows a very different landscape for football in general. with only a few notable exceptions there is very little transfer activity involving actual money. Lets face it football in general has thrown the the good business guide in the bin for years and the added to the issue of covid creates the perfect storm for the WHOLE of football. All clubs are having to down-size their staffing costs, City are no different to any other club. I actually think that given all the circumstances this window has been reasonable good so far for us. Much has been said about MM's knowledge and experience in being able to get out of this division, to me the best possible "signing" was when MM walked through the door in January.

If you look at all the other managers in the championship ( NW excepted) there is in-experience of management at this level throughout the division. The prime example of total miss-management is Derby , now that's a real crisis. I am quietly looking forward to a reasonable season ahead, and for me to actually watch the Bluebirds in the stadium is worth a great deal to me, I am just looking forward watching players at the stadium and to be able to smell that green green grass. MY GLASS IS CERTAINLY HALF FULL :ayatollah: :occasion5:

Paul, this was (sort of) the original pans, when Sam was given the post of Life President (I think that was the title), which meant that he could be part of the future without direct input of any conflicting level

Sadly, the two fell out quite quickly and it never materialised. Personally, I don't blame either, as they were only defending their own positions (as any of us would) but can you imagine f the strengths of each (Tan's business nouse and Sam's footballing nouse) could have been harnessed

Confident we would be in the Premier League right now and staying there... :ayatollah:

Surely, for you, more games for your buck helps, too...?! ;) :laughing6:
