I didn't think you would, but most people don't tweet about customers in that way.
Probably wouldn't of done it myself, but Simon is taking a lot of shit at the moment.
Bit racist mate. Hoped those days wer gone. Oh well

Linnell dropped out that there could be American interest in our club, coincidently as he was talking to a "fan" from Illinois, genuine ? or was he laying a seed ?

More likely the latter.

He is also giving a lot of shit too.
I disagree with everything Simon says, his personality and ego but I'd never go out of my way to make him lose his job. I'd just call him a knob, tell him he is doing it to sell books and carry on with my day, no matter how heated it was.
It's just a very strange thought process, and just adds to the stuff that rob s was saying.

Got the links to these racist tweets and the like?
Anyway, in Gilbert's defence(!) I've just wiled away a *really* tedious half an hour reading a load of his past tweets - I do that every now and again if I fall on an account, read their past stuff. So if the past stuff was *really* bad you could see why you might take action?
That said, I can think of a few whose political leanings are rather, errrm, 'different' to me but not sure I'd mak an effort to do anything with that myself. Does send a lesson however that social media is kind of... public.

I think he had the screen shot, they were rants about people from Pakistan. Don't get me wrong they were bad.and I'm not sure why anybody would actually say things like that online.Got the links to these racist tweets and the like?

Taking action would be reporting it to Twitter to get it removed. Which is fair enough for the content. The thought of trying to get them sacked wouldn't cross my mind I don't think.

That's the thing, I said at the start of the season if he played those 3 up front we would have about 500 league games experience.
If he played mccann and gadzev, (isn't rose about 26, can't be bothered to check on phone)
Then I can see it's a young defence, but he chose to pay a fee on a young defender and let an older one go.
We also have an older striker on trial.
Even if we played Willis, ricketts and turnbull they have a fair few games between them don't they
Didn't an experienced player make the mistake today for their second?

Nick I didn't reply as I was working, no I don't think we've the worst squad in the league
But the very foundations of the cub are crumbling away.
How we expect our manager and players to perform to the best of their capabilities under
The conditions we are in I will never know. The fans are at loggerheads with each other,
The owners are at loggerheads with everyone, it's hardly a sound platform to aim for or
Expect success. With everything else at the club in termoil why expect the playing side
Too Ron like clockwork.

But nobody has said we should be winning the league or anything close. Just we shouldn't be bottom.

Well if that's your only gripe I wouldn't worry, we won't be bottom for much longer I wouldn't
Have thought, but I wouldn't be fooled I don't think we are very good and long hard season
Lies ahead me thinks.
Also what you said earlier about some City fans will be pleased we lost. Did you mean that ?

so are you saying that last year when we were top sisu were running the club well or was it down to mowbrays recruitment and tactics?
Captain Dart

Recruitment of loanees was good last year. Think there was a lot of good fortune in it.

possibly, I just think it's naive to exonerate TM of all blame for what's going on n the pitch.
And just to reiterate, I'm not in the TM out camp - yet.

The most irrating thing is that the other teams in this rank sh1te league are dross, and we can't beat them. I dread to think how we'd go on if we were miraculously parachuted back to our Premier League place now. We've fallen so far, it's tragic. Few CCFC even understand how big a deal it would have been even a few years ago for us to draw with Bury or Shresbury in the league. It would have been seen as a scandal. Now it's seen as par for the course, a run of the mill result that's a base for the next game. No way would any City fan a few years ago thought that. We beat Man U 3-2 at HR in Dec 1997, now we're bottom of the third division and there's nothing but a shrug. Why do people seem to think this kind of performance is acceptable???????????????????????????????????????????????

Thanks a lot SW88. So perhaps really only Page, who's had three poor matches in a row. Thanks a lot for all your match day posts. Have a good break!

I'm pretty certain that is three question marks too many.

Agree with comments about Gadzhev being a big disappointment.
We desperately need McCann and Rose back because we are getting over-run in midfield (though Rose will probably be played at RWB by TM)
Mind you, if defence can't win first ball in the air it doesn't matter if midfield is more solid anyway.
Though it was the right decision to let Reda go, the absence of that type of defender is hurting us badly

At the risk of being right again
even when we were doing well I was banging on about this being the danger of relying on loanees - you have to back yourself to be able to rinse and repeat annually.
Otis
Well-Known Member
Yep, I said that same thing. I just don't see how you can have a two year plan if you are having to pretty much start from scratch every season.At the risk of being right again
We were damn lucky with Armstrong last season.
I know we need loans, but we need a core of our own players in place, with loans embellishing what we've got, rather than being overly reliant on the loanees.

The same McCann who was overrun by the Norwich youth team and who is only with us until January? Yes, he's surely the messiah. It's always noticeable how players improve when they are not in the team....
Gadzhev, however, after the first few games where we waited for him to find his niche, is clearly a disappointment.
