For someone who was extremely vocal, good-for-a-quote etc during his 7 month tenure, and prior to his appointment, has IH not done his BBC column/spoken about what happened regarding his departure?
Forgive me if he has and I missed it....

Wouldn't be anything to do with his severance agreement when he agreed to a parting of the ways by mutual consent, on the proviso he kept his powder dry :102:
 
Bob, you're one of the sane people on here and always seem to have an informed and sensisble opinion.

I find it hard to believe that the managers we've had haven't made their own decisions and despite disastrous consequences have then kept quiet.

Are you aware that this is definitely case? If so, I accept that and have misjudged the strength of character of a number of our recent managers....and MM really needs to take a good look in the mirror and accept the blame.

Is this the case?

Which Bob are you addressing? If it's me, I have to tell you that I am not sane and I have a certificate to prove it.

Hopefully, he is - before it really is too late.

I'm choosing to ignore the spin of his media machine and hope that some kind of common sense should prevail....
 
But we are where we are, and MM pulls the strings for better or worse. I can't believe it would be best for us if he walked away and we went through another sale of the club. I guess the best thing is for him to get it right this time and agree a proper plan deisgned in the first instance to secure promotion back to the Championship and then plan for the next step etc. I do think Alderidge needs a proper job though, I just can't see MM backing right off, its his way to be in the thick of it?

I know its simplistic and MM getting it right next time may be a big ask, but if we can do it this way we avoid a lot of the turbulence and sh!t flinging that we endured previously.

However, I stand staunchely shoulder to shoulder with the other's who admit we know feck all about it all behind the scenes. Can't we set MM up as a member and ask him to join our debates?

You'll always be Mr Tambourine Man to me, Boc. I was referring to the Talking Balls identity BobHazell.

Is the certificate a 50m swimming certificate....if so, then yes, you are truly mad.

It's a certificate of provenance issued in Serbia by the Archduke Ferdinand in the early '30s.
It guarantees that he is a genuine Spanish sandwich designed to be waved vigorously during football matches.

I'm getting the sense that the mass of public opinion is finally swaying away from MM. More and more people appear to be hearing about his constant interference and control of the playing side of the club. He is stopping us from progressing. He has been an absolute disaster of a chairman.

I'd like to initiate a call for him to retire from being chairman before opinion sways so far that it all gets out of hand.

He can either retain ownership and leave the running of the club to someone more capable, or quit altogether and leave us to probable administration and another new start. Either are preferable to the absolute zero chance of progress under his chairmanship.

Nobody with sense will work with him any longer. Only his chequebook is preventing the likes of Martin Allen and Ian Holloway from telling us the truth about what it's like being controlled and undermined as City manager. Anybody that would now work for him is by definition unfit for the role. He needs to resign as chairman.

He'll get no special treatment...so as a new poster he can expect the usual abuse. May his God help him if his spelling aint not good.

I've got a tenner that says the evil devil spawn uses txtspk.
 
Sorry guys, I stepped out for lunchy and then there were so many more posts.

Would we have been relegated had MM not taken over - I firmly beleive that we would have been. You cannot argue against the fact that the Championship is improving at a fast rate, and we were almost second rate (i.e., relegated) in the two seasons before his takeover.

The players he bought may not have produced week in week out, but without their sparing ability we would have been long gone. Teams need to adapt quickly and managers play a crucial role. Just look at Norwich, they were as good as down at xmas, but a decent appointment put them right. Who knows, if we had signed a half decent manager we would have stayed up - God knows we had the ability!

No no no, MM wanted us to go down, thats why he told Holloway to play players out of position, play negative tactics and not to make changes.
