Malky Mackay Was installed by the Club to ensure survival for this campaign, MM has actually put all Owners in an bit of a tizzi because MM has punched well above the boards aim (Survival). Yet City were 3rd in the league and managed to maintain that position up until the the Transfer window(s) were open and available, Yet the Board failed miserably to back MM with new arrival's of any significant's regardless to the Club spins and misinformation of nearly had's jurying the transfer windows even though it was always obvious that MM (WOULD HAVE TO STRENGTHEN) if City were to maintain the unexpected but brilliant start to the season, The dithering during the windows has been painfully obvious that some form of financial capping was set in place. Yet in fairness to MM, He protected the board with integrity by saying that any potential recruitments had to fit a certain criteria. It's a shame really when one remembers how the same board apparently spent through the roof last season (which in truth) was always exaggerated beyond reality, didn't have the same intent when MM The Team and Club were in a far better mode than last season at this stage? We needed at least one proven goal scorer if not two (PRIORITY} to supplement KM or back up and a NO NONSENSE MIDFIELDER to allow Witt's to thrive, just three quality additions may have done the trick as I believe We boast one of the best defence pools in the Championship to choose from that most other Teams could only dream of with the likes of Turner/Hudson/Taylor/Keinen/Garrard/Kev/Naylor/Blake/Quin/. But it's more evident than ever now that the lack of appropriate additions to the squad has all but killed what was a promising season.
