Clingan was the worst excuse for a captain I've seen in my 10 years following City. Good luck to whichever team is stupid enough to take him (rumour has it down here that BHA are keen).
With Bell it's difficult admittedly, though I still like him. However, Baker is a good player in my opinion and one that will do well for us in L1. People get wound up to easily if that gets to them.
Mate?! Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, I think he did say that. But why would John Williams who hasn't been at the club for 15 years be privvy to financial information on current players? And even if he was why would he tell a random fan all about it?
And no, I don't think Bell or Baker earn anything near what Clingan did. No proof obviously, I just don't think so.
My first season ticket was 2001/2 (was only 11!)-I'd been to a handful of PL games before that but I wouldn't say I really started getting into it till I went regularly. I think I've seen perhaps a total of one good season in that time, and even then it was split over 2 parts (latter half of 2003/4 and 2005/6). Must be bloody mad :facepalm:
It will be interesting to see who will be our captain next season, Clingan has not been the same player this season he has not seemed interested. He went down with Norwich and left them to move to us, we have gone down and he will leave us. Not the type of person who should be captain in my opinion. One of Thorns worst decisions was giving him the arm band. Our problem this season was we didn't have enough leaders on the pitch or off it. If only Denis Wise still wanted to play!
