Let’s be honest, CoH was all but sold to Burnley before his ACL on Boxing Day. Sisu needed the cash (and yes we would have pocketed a fee) we all know how the story goes. Gus was fantastic for us, but you don’t applaud him during the game, wait until the final whistle, just like we did for Madders. PUSB

Absolutely. Why on earth would you encourage a player of the opposition? Fucking madness.

Why the hell are people bothered about it? I clapped and I’m happy I did. The guy never wanted to leave us. He’s been berated by his own manager for coming to City games when he’s a SU player. The SINGLE most stupid decision this chairman (well, apart from getting rid of the best manager since Hill/Sillett) has made in recent times was not paying to keep him. People, laughingly in my opinion, said ‘No man is bigger than the club’. Well in this instance that was absolute bullshit. He was the cog that made everything tick. You could see MR desperately wanted the team to be moulded around him. And we couldn’t even pay him the extra he deserved. And now we’re spunking the money on Lampard! Jesus!

Anyway, apart from that rant!! I was really impressed with the boys today. They wanted it more and I absolutely loved the performance of Bertie. Already a legend!

He did want to leave us. Robins himself said it.

We had zero chance of keeping him compared to the wages a PL club could pay; plus he wanted to leave.

He wanted to leave, we took £15 million for him rather than nothing the following summer and we reinvested all the money into the squad.
Not sure what people want and it's why I can't take people seriously right now. It wasn't just a good decision, it was the only decision in reality.

I’m pretty sure the several thousands of people in Singers Corner clapping him weren’t doing it to encourage him to take a better corner.

It was as annoying as when the corner do that pretend the ball isn’t in for corners. Great laugh. Love it even more when we are losing, wastes a bit of time. Love it.

Gus to MR on bus back from Wembley "I'm off Gaffer"
Gus to fans in summer - "Erm I want to stay, honest"

He wanted Out just as much as Cal but gets the red carpet cos he occasionally tips up at home games?

Did you enjoy clapping your hands for the man who had just assisted a goal for the opposition and was also standing over the corner for them??

Embarrassing little wimp

You have fallen into the trap of this recent phenomenon of grown adult fans deciding & telling other grown adults:
When they can celebrate, when they can’t celebrate, when they can sing, what song they can sing, when they can’t sing a particular song. Which players they must like, which players you cannot like.

It’s weird as fuck pal!

Because he was sold. Simple. Thats football. But he clearly didn’t want to go. IMO.

He did.

He only wanted to stay if we went up, as he wanted to play PL football. We didn't, so he wanted to leave.

Doesn't mean he didn't enjoy his time here, or still feels an attachment to the club. But as a professional footballer he wanted to move, simple as that.

Exactly
Back in the day it was a common sight to see the crowd from both sets of supporters applaud good passages of play and goals.
I remember being at Vale Park a few years back when their keeper pulled off a save from an Armstrong or was it Kent shot and shouting something like 'what a fantastic save'

Jeez, if looks could kill from City fans around me.
