Sides like Coventry, Huddersfield, Luton and Preston are prospering on smaller budgets than ours while tending to play a more enjoyable brand of football - we have weaknesses all over the pitch presently, but what we aren’t is too lightweight.
I've noticed before that City fans get dewy-eyed over the seasons watching City in the depths of the leagues, slogging away in the rain and mud in a dump of a stadium and hankering after those 'good old days'.
It's almost like they enjoy wallowing in watching poor quality football - even having an inferiority complex, not really wanting to watch their team in the big time.
It's such a shame. When I started watching City they were an old first division team. It's time fans held their heads up and didn't accept the terrible football that's now on display and demanded the standard which should be served up in a city that could support Premiership football.
Not lightweight? Take Flint out of the team, and City are powder puffs. They used to be feared for what they brought to games. Not anymore. The result is flirting with relegation and a dour immediate future.
