    Some of you lot are easily impressed

    As the initial poster I was prompted by headings such as fishy & Wago are the right people to be in charge, gave Thorn a chance to build a squad only to sack him a week into the season and yet to have a replacement, sounds a monumental cock up even if there suits were well pressed.

    highfield road stadium

    The East Stand was fully opened in the 1994/95 season. We left Highfield in 2005 - you do the maths.

    highfield road stadium

    East stand was only 11 years old when it was demolished. A bit of tarting up of the old stands, turning the Mercer's Arms into a proper car park etc.. Sale and leaseback, I think we got £5m for the stadium and nearly paid it back in rental over the years we leased the stadium. The Newmarket...

    Is this

    Since relagation roland was the obvious replacement to Stracan. Garry Mc was tipped well in advance to be coming back as a player manager. Black's appointment was no surprise but Reid's was a shocker and his reign was a shocker too. Micky adams was tipped to replace reid and Dowie was no...

    interview process

    A month without a manager is a catastrophe. Whilst I agreed it was time for AT to go, to allow him to rebuild a squad and have the pre-season also, why didn't they sack him back in April.

    Turn the lights off

    The arena without the football club would be seen as a white elephant project and it would effect its credibility. £1.2M rent p.a would be sorely missed by ACL. Don't think there is an easy solution, sucess on the pitch bigger crowds, more income leading to Premiership windfall - 11 years in...

    David Bell - where is he

    although tongue in cheek factually correct. He was involved in 10 games from Jan 2012 to the end of the season, 5 he came on as sub and the 5 he started he was subbed, if nothing he is consistent. His club stats showing him to have scored 4 goals in 2009/10 when in fact he only got 2 (6 a...

    David Bell - where is he

    Does anyone know the extent of his injury as I feel he could be the difference. Since signing in Jan 2009 he has had 71 starts + 20 sub appearances and has rattled in 6 goals. some might say he is a sick-note but they haven't seen his step-over. His last goal for us was as recent as March...

    I used to work in Grays Inn Road (1986) I'm sure one of the pubs has a glass floor where you could watch them making the beer - I think it was called the Yorkshire Grey

    Positives from last night?

    Reece Brown - any positives there, he's played all 7 games so far and looks like he is first choice.

    Gordon Strachan anyone?

    He was young and cynical and enthusiastic 95 - 2001, 11 years on older possibly wiser, less enthusiastic and even more cynical a recipe for disaster and for that reason ~I am out. PS anyone who saw KON Lee Hughees (£5million) and Julian Joachim - his last 3 additions - would understand why he...

    Previous managers

    terry Butcher we paid a transfer fee for but that was for his supposed football ability (6 games then retired as a player). High profile experienced managers - Dowie Reid Coleman Don Howe Dave sexton big Ron, not sure if Phil Neal counts a well known footballer with limited management experience...

    Gareth Southgate ?

    Not another centre half - Thorn Coleman are the more recent centre-halves who have failed to manage us, Butcher was another.
