Fuck me you’re a set of miserable bastards! Haha funny.. but fucking miserable Last night was pretty depressing. We had it in the palm of our hands when we lost the play off final to Millwall and we ripped it all up. If we'd recruited properly then we'd have made the play offs this season. Even then though we were sitting pretty with another chance to push on in January and we squandered that too. We could so easily have been promoted this season or at least made the play offs and last night it really hit home how far we've regressed. We're now watching a markedly worse side toil away hoping for errors or set pieces in a half empty stadium with no prospect of it getting anything but worse next season. We could all sit here like park bantam and focus solely on the fact that we won 2-0 but even in victory the bigger picture is laid bare if people only care to look. We are well and truly fucked. Let me know half way through next season if our pessimism was justified or not.

I was bored, Neshead was bored, Grayson was bored and I suspect a lot of others were bored.
It’s Parky percentage football and it’s fucking boring...the reason we don’t create anything in open play is because they are told to keep tight as a unit. There is no freedom to allow players to express themselves, they all are told to play in a robotic fashion.
Yea we won but it was fucking boring and down yet again to an element of luck....there is a trend appearing now.

Fuck me you’re a set of miserable bastards! Haha funny.. but fucking miserable Im hoping next season will give us a sense of renewed optimism but this boils down to three men, Rahic Rupp and whoever the manager is. Rupp because he is the one with the purse strings, Rahic because he needs to decide what direction to go in and Grayson/a.n.other. Im actually not bothered who the manager is, to me its immaterial dependant on what the other two decide to do. Until we get the three if them singing off the same hymn sheet then the whole situation feels rudderless.

Oh don’t get me wrong I’m fully aware of how shit last night was and our failings this year.. I guess I’ve just come to expect it from City.. but it’s still a win and another clean sheet.. yes it papers over the cracks , I enjoyed last night to be fair.. more for the laughs I had with the people around me..
What it shows to me though is it’s not 100% Edins fault as even with this squad we should comfortably be in the playoffs the fact they downed tools for whatever reason is totally unacceptable imo.. other clubs teams have had it much worse in the past than our players..
Bolton weren’t getting paid at all at times last season yet they stayed Focused on the job at hand! This is what makes me more angry than anything else I guess.

That's the point "for whatever reason" come on even the thickest of people know they wouldn't down tools just because they didn't get paid a bonus. Yes they were out of order for doing it but Rahic is poison there seems to be just 1 person in the entire club that likes him and his wife. Nobody wants us to fail, we all lauded the takeover and the truth is our players downed tools because of him. He is out of his depth and has absolutely no idea how to run a football club. He's an accountant and should stick to that.

He's an accountant and should stick to that. Is anyone really qualified to run a football club?? Most owners these days are business men and just lose the plot when they own a football club.. take the QPR guy as a prime example.. people are allowed to make mistakes though.. if he can learn from them mistakes then that’s great and hopefully he will.. I know people will not expect him to but we will just have to see.. however I still think it’s totally unacceptable that the players just stopped bothering. I’ve had bosses who I haven’t liked and disagreed with them and they’ve belittled me.. however you have to get on with the job at hand! We played some awful games under PP but we still enjoyed winning the games. All we needed was about 10 points from those games in Jan Feb and March and we’d be comfortable in the playoffs that’s what I’m annoyed at

Not all owners come in and run a club themselves, they employ people with the necessary know how. Even Mason had more of an idea than the total novice Rahic when they bought the club. It's simply his hubris and ego that has seen City go from a club that was making slow but steady, season on season, progress to the shambles that we've seen this season. It's his philosophy of recruiting younger, less expensive players that's gone against how every other successful club in the league that's lead to a probable mid table finish. When Alan Hansen said "you win nothing with kids" he was right, because most clubs don't have half a dozen youngsters that all went on to play internationally coming through at the same time. City have barely developed an entire team of good young players in the 40 years I've been watching them.
