I don't see anyone that doesn't want change, but i see alot of people that don't think protests and groups like this help the process. What is happening at the club at the moment, in terms of Ashley trying to sell, the fans have zero influence on it(unless someone has a spare billion).

An alternate group representing what? People want the drama to stop? Perhaps we should parade a big banner saying "no more drama", make chants about it, march in the street etc. It would sort of defeat the object. We doing exactly what we should do, we're disagreeing, nothing wrong with that. They're inviting grief by releasing statements that they know some people are opposed to.

These people thrive on the drama, they're stirrers, why can't they just get back to the football? Ashley IS going to sell when he finds a buyer, there is no need for any protests, boycoutts, or any other kind of "pressure". The worst thing about all this is the attitude that they're the real fans wanting to "make a difference". Arrogant nobs.

"socially depressed area"?

You spent £6m on Smith, fuck off with you.

Geremi always plays shit, but he is also capable of putting in a perfect cross every now and then, personally i would start him in the middle with Guthrie.

...and his crossing was woeful, and he missed a clear chance in front of goal, not that that matters though, eh? The chance was blocked well by Baines, yes he probably should have gone across goal, but it all happened quickly and hindsight is a wonderful thing, i think he did exactly what most would do in that position. We wouldn't have got a point out of this without him, i'm sure of that.

The Zog was excellent in that 2nd half, his dribbling and speed were vital.

I would guess that Vetere recommended them.

You realise Mugabe isn't South African?

Someone's been listening to Dr Sergei Rebrov.

I'd rather give Terim or Deschamps a go and that's just off the top of my head. What do you mean by reasonable budget btw? Because he had a reasonable budget at Man City outside of the top 4 and achieved very little in the Premiership. mackems.gif God you really think they would understand what we are after up here? And you say a reasonable budget but it's not a top four budget, So if Keegan had a top four budget how would you think he'd do? What are we after exactly?

$1.8 billion as of 2006, don't know current figures. thats not even a billion in £'s though It's a consortium, they don't all have to be billionaires. I bet none of the Mackems guys are worth that much.

I'm so confused. Yesterday Cleland said "Now is the time to reveal who we are out of respect for the supporters.", and these guys were mentioned in the article. Did he reveal who they are or not? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11678_4234170,00.html

Justice tbh, Liege had a definite pen turned down at the end of the first leg. Dante, Defour, and Witsel are very handy players, only 24, 20, and 19.

I would if i had a spare billion, i would be convinced i could turn it around(everyone on here thinks they know exactly what the club should be doing remember), these blokes are probably the same.

The BBC get more right than anyone else to be fair. I don't understand this though, "Keegan may be offered a 5% stake in the club", so that is basically £15m for him to come back? It would be lunacy!!

There's a reason nobody has signed him yet, his knee is fucked.

Then gave it away, then flung himself into a tackle, then gave it away, then flung himself into a tackle, then gave it away, etc etc etc.

Good idea!!

Come on Joe Kinnear! YES!!

What did the protests achieve exactly? All it did was provoke Ashley into publicly putting the club up for sale, which has left us in limbo. If it had never happened we may have had a new manager by now. Quite a few of us said protests would make the situation worse, don't shoot us for being right. A new manager would have just got in the way when Ashley sold the club which he's been trying to do all year. When giving him a chance it was easy to believe his denials even when the NY firm confirmed talks but now I know what a liar he is its obvious there was something to all those reports. All the protests/fallout have done is bring matters to a head. Source? I thought he had been putting people like Ambani and the new City owners off. The protests haven't brought anything to a head, we're just as confused, befuddled, and bewildered as ever.

Shearer has already said he's not interested, we could only get him if we get a takeover, and in those circumstances we could attract an experianced manager.

I thought you wanted the club to be up for sale?
