      I've seen enough to think they have done very well and i'm enjoying the football played by those at the club.
      Although there is room for improvement..

        No silly wages or fee's for players.
        Some will never praise the club when things go well but if anything goes wrong it's the boards fault or "The Regime " has it's called by the morons with an agenda who seem to want the club to fail..
        Is it the people who question a board that has seen two promotions to the Premier League but failed to capitalise on them that want the club to fail?
        Or is it the ones that hail everything the club do as good even if we are going backwards?

        If fans applaud everything, good and bad, then the club can basically do what they like regardless of results.
        I think the happy clappers are worse than people who hold the board to account even in such a small way as question their decisions.

          You don't get the quality of some of the players we've seen so far without spending a lot of money.
          I think we’ve saved money because the ones we shipped out last season we’re on ridiculous wages, we can even afford to pay very well by championship standards and save cash it would seem. Smithies, pack, vaulks….crazy

            I see that, right on cue, one of the people that your above post was obviously aimed at has responded appropriately in defence and justification of his unrelenting attacks on anything to do with the club. It really is very sad that these people appear totally incapable of enjoying anything to do with City. He now indicates that he thinks he is doing the club a favour. Deluded.

              Oh it was crazy without doubt.

              Even more so when those high paid players achieve little more than keeping you up. Something needed to change without doubt.

              Maybe they are seeing what he can do with a small budget and will give him more as he proves himself.

                Let's be honest here. We could be battling in the National League and you'd still be singing Tan's praises.

                By your thinking saying they are doing everything well regardless of the truth is better than praising the good stuff and criticising the bad. As ever, we will agree to disagree on that.

                  There's enough evidence to suggest Morison is on the right trajectory with almost a new side , and at times it's great movement and possession, much more so than under our last few managers .

                  Tan is and will always be generous in my eyes in funding our club over the last decade , which has seen us promoted twice .

                  Yes we need a sucessful striker who doesn't, are there many about, no , are they cheap, no , do English based strikers fancy upping roots from the bigger English cities without extra enticement or rubbing agents hands with extra cash NO.

                      Odds on they’ve used “The Regime” unironically?

                        Indeed, and plenty of it considering the recent results.

                        A number of the new signings have a history of inconsistency, while others haven’t played much football for anyone, let alone City. I think it’s way too early make firm judgements on any of them just yet.

                          I think that judgements can be made to a degree. The players we are watching aren't going to change too much from now until the end of the season. They're mostly seasoned professionals, not new to the game, most of them aren't going to improve that much. That's not to say that they're bad players, they're not, there's a consistency there now that hasn't been prevalent for some time, but there's no zip in my opinion, a lack of urgency and desire at times. It's decent in a methodical sense. We need a couple of players with a bit of bastard in them, like chopra had or Mc cormack or dare i say young isacc Davies. Busy little bastards who are assertive and cause problems in the right areas.

He's pretty much been able to attract the players he wants the club and moved others on. I suspect there was a wage cap put in place by Tan plus a small transfer budget - £2 - £3 million perhaps. Either way, a club playing the worst football in the Championship have been transformed in the space of 4 months. I'd love us to challenge for 5th/6th spot but realistically a season in the bottom half of the table with another couple of windows and I'd feel very optimistic about it the following season.
                            Who has he moved on that was still under contract apart from Browne?

                                What's your point?

                                I know the majority of Jacks would prefer to be in our position than theirs with Russell Martin and his Tika Cacka style over there at the moment.
