Everyone has their opinions and I don't disagree with a lot of that.

One thing though that I think people need to have a re-think about is the constant criticism of the transfer committee. The last 3/4 windows have been very good in terms of quality. Yes there have been some disasters like Collins but we've also had Wilson, Moore, Ojo, Osei-Tutu, Wintle, McGuinness, Drameh, Doyle, Hugill, Uche,etc.

That's a pretty good success rate in anybody's book. I completely accept that a lot of these are loans but that's what even the top Championship teams are doing now to provide the quality that they can't afford to buy outright.

Even Fulham have made good use of loans and that is something we are now, apparently, much better equipped to take advantage of.

Success is what currently happens on the pitch and that is reality:


Worst ever league position in 20 yrs. :cry:

Worst ever run of results in 120 yrs. :cry:

Jacks first ever league double & Embarrassing & Shameful defeats including 4 nil at home :cry:

Attendances are falling :cry:

Season ticket sales down year after year :cry:


Debt higher than 12 yrs ago :cry:


Squad virtually worthless :cry:


Way lower in the league than 12 yrs ago ( We were in play -off final v Blackpool) Now 19th in the CHampionship.


What is the squad currently worth?

The majority of fans are so fed up of dire football and defeat after defeat.


11 managers / 6 CEO's.

What we need is someone owning the club who has a genuine interest in the club. Is passionate about our club and only has interests in our club.

You’ve decided our rebuild has failed before it’s even begun. Why?
Morison has his flaws but it’s fair to say his eye for players isn’t one of them. Doyle and Drameh are player of the season contenders and Uche and Hugill have been more effective than the strikers Morison inherited. January is a tougher window to be successful in with less players available, higher fees and clubs less willing to let players go.
Time and time again people have complained about us signing aging, high wage, injury prone players. Now the club wants to move away from this transfer policy again they get slated. Let’s at least wait until the summer window has closed before evaluating the state of the squad.

Also if you’re going to list stats about league position and crowds under Tan’s ownership, you’re missing our highest league finish since 1961 and largest average crowds since 1954.

Using your facts annis yes but we can all use facts to use in any way we want to.... but since when as club been rebuilding? As far as I'm aware past 4yrs or so we have kept same type players same type managers hardly rebuilding more like stagnation.....and also as you know we've been cost cutting recently and that is incompatible with rebuilding.... so I am specifically referring to morison trying to change things around in type of players and style after yrs of same type of managerial/player crap :roll: ...... same as arsenal ...liverpool have stagnated it took a particularly manager to change things for them very much what city have done as for going backwards next season hasnt started or the players brought in that will completely change the squad.....maybe it's best to wait and see what happens before forming an opinion of armageddon for club! Afterall you bang on about little old Luton challenhing why cant any other club including city do same with a new manager new squad.? But guess the paranoia dislike of the regime clouds all things ccfc. :old:

I haven't renewed my season ticket since the first lockdown, there was no correspondence from the club and no refund.

I will not go to a game until Tan and his cronies have gone, enough is enough, we need an owner who is passionate and ambitious. :bluescarf:
