If you could get rid of only 1...

[Deleted member 875]

I think you may agree but the majority wont. If I was a Man City fan I would rather be at Maine rd and playing in league 1 with players like Kevin Reeves and David White than in the Etihad with Mangala and Demichelis or is that just me ?

The thing is, a lot of the old hardcore Manchester City support are now priced out going to the games, whilst the new supporters are typical glory hunting arseholes.

To be fair to McCabe our prices are still very good.

 

[Bladesman]

McCabe

He lost interest years a go and has been wanting to sell since we got promoted to the Premier League. The only reason he hasn't sold is because no one will give him his money back.

 

[Tyler Durden]

It would be nice if people could shake off the old way of thinking when it comes to ownership.

Anyone sitting around and grumbling whilst waiting for a great merciful benefactor to drop out of the sky and plough a load of money in to a 3rd division football club for fuck-all return will be sorely disappointed.

We have one thing going for us, a big enough fan base to get things done if we realise this and stop with the permanent defeatism.
Form a Supporters Trust, purchase a stake in the club and give the running of the club some sort of accountability to its fans.

To anyone who thinks this is far fetched, it's actually far more possible and workable than the other option, secondly it's already happening at Swansea City who are 20% fan-owned, and they seem to be doing alright for themselves.

We have the power....utilise it.

There isn't a category for the fans for those that blame us!

got to be Adkins now
last night wqas a damp squib , after a good result to be so abject falls on one man

in fairness mccabe thought hed got a bit of a coup getting a 2 time promotion manager in
but weve at best trod water and in some ways gone backwards

weve ended up wasting a season , on a manager whos got credentials but no plan , Im crest fallen over his ineptitude

was a bit indifferent but was prepaed to be impressed , after last night Im not
I cant defend the indefensible

 

[The Fox]

Squiggle. , McCabes the problem , I just rather not have a Saudi involved. Nothing personal , just not a nice regime that's all .

 

[northsomersetblade]

He is not the Prince in my book. The prince is a deferential name. I'm not Saudi Arabian, I'm not one of his subjects, I'm not a British royalist but will still happily refer to the British Royal Family as Queen, Prince, and Princess. His royalty if fuck all to do with me. I'm not a subject of the Saudi Royal Family, I don't have to be deferential to them, and the regime they preside over makes them terrorist supporting scum as far as I'm concerned.

His name is Abdullah

It means 'servant of God'. It was his fathers name. And his fathers fathers name. And his fathers fathers fathers name. And his fathers fathers fathers fathers name. And his fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers name. And his fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers name. And his fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers name. The one before that was a goat, apparently.

 

[alcoblade]

Be careful what you wish for though ,especially going down the foreign money route ,at least McCabe has kept us at the Lane and recognisable as Sheffield United ,the Saudis have been quiet which may have been a good thing. What if Lee Fuck yoo, East Asian oil tycoon comes in with wads of cash ,builds a stadium in Renishaw called the Stadium Fuck yoo ,changes the nickname to the fuckers ,kit to a blue with white sleeves (like the Fuck yoo oil logo) ,buys a few French Dutch and African players and puts some Swedish tactical genius in charge. Will we still be Utd ,will we buggery ,would McCabe care ? Not with the money he is owed by Fuck yoo which he cant get back now oil has dipped even more and £800 season tickets on the Barlborough end aren't selling. Tits up in Renishaw ,sounds farcical but look around the leagues at Blackpool ,Bolton ,Portsmouth etc.

Keep chomping on that turd because your next meal might be.......2 turds?



UTB

 

[Large Mendonca]

The common denominator has to go, and there's only one this last 8 or 9 years. McCabe.

 

[sothall blade]

Perhaps what is happening at Bolton would have happened at SUFC had the Saudis not pitched up? Disinterested owner, club owes money (mainly to said owner), owner not interested/unwilling to keep putting money in to pay the day-to-day running costs.

Bit like me BiB, Season ticket owner "not interested & not willing to put anymore money in"

 

[sothall blade]

Fuckin hell ! you lost me after the 5th Father !

 

[Gordon cowans]

I go adkins,mcabe didn't employ him thinkin he will take us backwards but his tactics combined with his signings,interviews & complete lack of character means he aint the man to take this club foward

It all a plan to get shut of 12-14 players who can't extend their contracts if we don't get a seat in the play-offs.

Then after they have all fucked off Mr CV weaves his magic and this time next season we are 6 points clear and even William can't keep up with everyone's positivity.

It's the only explanation.

Interesting that you use insulting language to describe what a foreign owner might do and then provide examples like Bolton and Blackpool who have both been ruined by British owners. not your best post ever.

Maybe I never even thought about it and if you look at other posts I have mentioned Carson yeung or have you purposefully missed that and Portsmouth to make you look like you have a point which doesn't exist ? I would be very careful at trying to infer shit like that .I bet you even looked up oyston and boltons owners to try and get an angle. I think the problem is probably closer to home, have a word with yourself.

And instead of inferring Im racist have the balls to say it.

Prince he's never put a penny into club n rumours goin round that he wont invest in club until we get to championship a guy who buys 50% in a club and doesn't invest should clearly get lost

Eh? He's clearly put in millions (I think I've seen £12-13M quoted), it's the next investment (or lack of it) and the reasons for it (or not) that is exercising people.

The one thing that kept my faith up till now was our improving away record
we have players with what seems to be fragile confidence , and think they have crumbled several times at home
To go to Bury who hadnt won at home in ages and got splatted for 9 goals in their previous 2 game we should have been at their throats
The utter failure to put pressure on what was on paper an even more fragile side , not only spoilt the one positive of later , the away record
it sends out the message we cant impose our selves on poorer teams
The buck stops with the manager on that , one who had experience of geeing up players but its obviously an ability hes let slip
