We may end up back where we started before Tan took over.Quote:

As for SM what a defender he was for us. Wish him all the best.
Do you mean Hammam? We are miles behind where we were when Tan took over.Quote:

He's 31 , still coming back from a career threatening injury
If he was 32 , 33 and still in fairly good shape then it would be stupid not to have him in the squad
Same with Flint, Pack etc
These sort of players get you through brick walls
We don't have enough players in the squad who step up
It's why we are going down
You havent got a clueQuote:

The stark reality is the squad is simply not that good. Not to mention unbalanced.
Cracking player was( 2 S ) Morisson, but a costly wage for someone not likely to feature anytime soon, I wonder if he had not got so badly injured , he'd have left on a fee anyway?
Sludge seems to think that's all you need to do is roll up your sleeves, show some fight and that's enough. Ability doesn't come into it, hence his love of players like Willie Boland.Quote:

And you know this? CobblersQuote:

I am just saying that there is no-one in the club hierarchy that seems to have the passion and will to win that he obviously has. Bloody hell, if nothing else he could be a useful sports psychologist!! As has been said...Hudson was a good club servant....but a motivator he is NOT!
"A bit surprised at that. Yes is is too slow for what we need now, BUT he is a leader and a motivator, something we lack right now!! Surely a role could have been fashioned for him.....unless we are THAT hard up....."Quote:

Totally the right call in the embargo circumstances
We need players on the pitch who will fight for the teamQuote:

We don’t have a very strong XI though.Quote:

Without the ability to bring anyone in we should have kept Morrison until at least the end of the season.
Sorry to see him go, but we could all see his best days were behind him, over the last half season he played for us. Slow and ponderous - it was sad to watch. He's been a great player and captain for us over the years, but it's time to wave him off, and wish him all the best.
Now, about this 'administration' comment. Where did that come from? Is it a direct quote, or just a rumour?
Bale and those types of players go missing when the dark nights are here and it's time to roll up your sleeves and grind out the pointsQuote:

Love Morrison, what a captain and brilliant player. What an iconic moment versus Hull with that goal.
As soon as he got that injury we knew it was the end though. Wish him well.
Sludge, you just accused world class players like Bale and Ronaldo of going missing on dark nights. Seriously, you've said some madness in the past, but if you believe that then you must be twisted up.Quote:

Morrison isn't near match fitness and who knows if he will recover fully after his injury. Maybe he has other ideas or offers and fancies a new challenge..
He's a leader but some fans need to take off the rose tinted specs
Is this a direct quote from Hudson? Did he actually say that he thinks we will be in administration soon.Quote:

Undoubtedly one of the greats. The noises coming from Hudson was that he would be re-signed but clearly there was a problem possibly due to the embargo.
Sorry, I meant Morrison. Senior momentQuote:

A lovely message from the man shows he loved the club.
This also came across in his some great performances for us of which there were many, that Hull match in the promotion season as has been mentioned, unforgettable.
It was clear for a while before his bad injury that Sean was struggling at this level though and teams with pace seemed to target him.
He was ineffective in the prem but, in his defence, he had little given his way by the officials.
A large number of occasions it was almost a case of his markers committing GBH!
(By the way this rarely gets mentioned in discussions of Warnock's failure in the prem).
Morrison was deadly at set pieces before the said season.
Shame they had different rules for us!
All the best for the future Sean, a true City legend :thumbup:
It’s just bollocks…..:xmasthumbup:Quote:
