No real balance and just looks like a negative pop at anything the club does.

I gave up half way down, after you failed to see the reasoning over the Connolly move, blamed the club for the Rhys Healey issue, and started talking about the subjective and romantic term 'philosophy in football ' and saying you could name what this was for most clubs, which to me is not true. What's more relevant is the club having a plan, communicating it to fans and then sticking with it for long enough to assess whether it works.

You and other writers constantly overlook FFP and when the current rules came in and where we were at the time and don't see the link with the change of plan.

Also the change of plan was the sensible one many fans have been calling for, but now every move toward stability is slated.
As for the club's plan, well after three years or so of "boom", we are now in a "bust" period, just like we were in 2005 and 2010 (City do have a five year plan it seems!) - the difference between now and ten years ago is that we are in hock to the Sam Hammam replacement figure to a far greater extent than we ever were to the man himself.
