    I disagree 100% with the last bit. No wait, it's both revenge and incompetence in equal measure.

    Not sure what your point is but it doesn’t prove that getting wales into their first tournament since the 50’s and into the semi finals of the euros and upto 8th in the world rankings isn’t an achievement.
    He may not have done anything before that or after that but that in itself is an achievement

    I meant City are allegedly up for sale since 2014 but that is total rubbish & Allam has never had any intention of selling the club to the long line of buyers that always mysteriously pull out just before signing. He owes himself £50 million at 5% interest per annum so will keep the debt running for as long as he can.

    I don't think the people Phil is referring to fall into any of the categories in your list.

    Not true. Remember that photo of Rodney at the Millwall away game some time ago?

    He's after Mickey Pearce.

    If you are given a golden era group of players anything is possible, you don’t have to be a great manager to manage them to success, that is my point. He’s not a great, or even good, manager and would have no chance of success at City with the limitations that he’d be made to work within.

    He'll sell as soon as he can get what he thinks the club is worth so he can meet his desired ROI over his tenure.
    The assets are dwindling (essentially quality appreciating player value). The running costs are significant. It's getting close to being a liability for the family.
    Essentially they have missed the boat if further relegation takes place.
    Biggest mistake was assuming he could get to buy the real estate assets cheap. Second significant error was to not invest more in player assets to maintain PL status.

    Steve Bruce had our best ever squad and crashed out of Europe and got us relegated. A golden era of players, this is wales we are talking about. I agree he isn’t a great manager but that doesn’t mean what he did with wales wasn’t an achievement, which is what we are talking about. What he would or wouldn’t do with city is not the point

    I imagine it would die pretty quickly without assistance. Perhaps from a seeing eye mouse.

    Think you are well wide of the mark here.

    He won't come here without his assistant Everard, and no way will skinflint Ehab sign that one off.

    Agreed.

    A somewhat histrionic showboating post completely missing the point of PUW's orginal post.

    Fairweather fans and proper supporters are not the same thing as everyone knows.
