With that much dough its a shame she doesnt just sell and get rid. If I had that kind of money I really wouldn't want all the associated crap PR and hatred. Lifes too short love get out there and live it.
It's not her money that has been lost on CCFC though. It's her investors'
And it's not technically lost if it's owed ny the club to SISU

I remember being in the west end when it was still a terrace it was loud in there, but from the other end you could hardly hear anything the acoustics were awful, we always seemed to be out sung by away fans in sky blue stand which was more open .
Yeah and the West end roof was too low, nearly hit your head when we scored a goal. LOL

So they wouldn't step in when she gets chased down a road by a reporter?

I've never seen it as accepted fact she was a billionaire.
I've never seen it as accepted as fact that she isn't. Quite genuinely. The fact/perception that Joy has the financial means far beyond your typical lower league football club owner has been one of the most galling aspects when it came to lack of investment in the team e.g. when we were relegated from the Championship, according to pretty much any City fan I have spoken to, ever. If she was **relatively** financially mortal then many of the decisions they've made would have made more sense.

Unused sub again tonight. I wonder if we will be upping the pressure (and offer!) after yet another dismal showing in front of goal?

What would he have done tonight? Other than phone Jackett up asking for the loan to be cancelled.

I doubt he’d have played the same system. We don’t have the player to play the system we did last year, hence why we are lumping it up to Mr Offside.

I don't think Robins would have any clue where to play him.

We didn't go long to Bakayoko on Saturday either, he linked up well with Andreu. Tonight he put Biamou in to go direct but didn't know how to change it when he got injured.

For me, he should’ve kept the same 11 and the same system. The 2 home games we have looked a completely different team. That being said, Robins was right in what he said in his post match interview about Bakayoko (although publicly slating him may not have been the right way to go about it). Take away the fact that it was being lumped up to him, his all round play was just dire. 8 offsides in one game is criminal.

He took him off at half time against Oxford when he looked one of our better players as well.

Waste of a jersey bin him to the 23s if he's got an attitude problem

If so then fair enough but personally I must have missed that. I genuinely understood/understand it to be the case that she's in the uber-rich class and far beyond the means of your typical fund manager / EFL club owner. If I am wrong then it would possibly partly explain, if not excuse, some of the actions she has taken. But as her wealth / assets are so opaque with Cayman Islands deposits all over the place, i suspect we may never find out for 100% sure.
