I agree doesnt help when you have Lewj and others making crap up to suit their agendas.

We finished 4th, then 6th in Malky's first year and he was backed again the year after to win the Championship.

The underlying sentiment of the post remains, as much as people want to ignore that and focus on one error, and that is that the owner and board are clueless and there is a lot of evidence of this.

Gabbidon is spot on but it is nothing new. The owner has been playing at running a football club and getting it wrong for some time now.

No.

You argued that we had a 4th placed squad to build on.

All real fans know the reality.

Youve been found out.

Your probably that Roathy from the other board.

Bring back Colin it was fun and it worked , sadly Warnock never got any real backing through his promotion...

Some people on here think they're ccmb police.
Found out what exactly?
If you're making out I'm not a City fan then it would be quite elaborate to be a member on here for so many years prior to Vincent Tan to have a go at him. I'd also have a top notch crystal ball too.

The point that was being made was that Malky was backed. He was.

No.

We've made a pigs ear of promotion to the Premier League each time. We've hardly utilised the advantage that the parachute payments gave us either IMO.

Re: Gabbs - He's not wrong is he?

You're still jumping on that?

He was backed, in a big way. That was a lot of the reason he achieved.

Malky was left with a skeleton squad. In his first season we lost all of our attacking talent. Malky spent less than £2m on Mason, Miller and Turner and brought in a load of free transfers. We finished 6th and made a league cup final. Jones had wasted more money than that.

The club then backed Malky and we made a few big transfers in order to get promoted. Nothing wrong with that. Jones had been backed previously but bollocksed things up. Unfortunately, we lost our marquee signing, Nicky Maynard, and most of the money we spent on transfers never played much for us.

Jones wasn’t backed anything like Malky, wages yes but nothing like Milky

I think you'll find Jones was backed.

In 2009/10 he spent £5m on Hudson and Chopra.

But Lewj/Roathy reckons we added to a 4th placed squad. 🤣🤣🤣

All City fans know Lewj/Roathy is talking crap.

It is nonsense. At the start of Malky's first season I don't recall anyone thinking we'd make the playoffs. We had the luxury of a cup final as well.

Followed by the Football League Championship.

Despite the myths we didnt spend massively either. Shrewd signings like Helguson and adding Tommy Smith and Campbell.

Rubbish, we outspent everyone at a time people weren’t spending. Everyone was expecting promotion.

Smith Helguson and Campbell probably cost less than Eddie Johnson and Stephen Bywaters loan deals. But Jones worked on a shoestring budget.🤣

We threw money at it for years.
