Our present club policy is
(1) trimming wages
(2) selling if the price is right
(3) getting players on a free transfer or on loan.
Let's for one minute put "The Despicable Rebrand Aside"
Of course we all wish to have the best players but considering our dire financial situation where our present owner has sunk in £150- 200 million (?) a big chunk of his total networth (this is in his loan + his shares + borrowing from financial institutions),waiting to see if more debt to equity has been done as promised(we will know in next few days).
Remember the majority of the debt has been made by Tan and is owed to Tan.
Considering all that then we should be looking on what is happening positively, because otherwise we may as well give up supporting our club.
Tan wants his money back and bit by bit he's getting it back, but thankfully I believe we have a manager in Paul Trollope with ambition to get the best out of the peanut budget he has been given.
Paul Trollope "on paper" has done well.
We have a brand new team the Trollope team. Declan John, Kadeem Harris , Joe Ralls, Stuart O'Keefe and Ben Wilson are practically new as they were not used much previously. Lex Immers and Anthony Pilkington can now drop a bit back to their natural preferred positions (so they are like new) and Emyr Huws, Joe Bennett, Ben Amos , Jazz Richards and Gounogbe(not sure about) are all new and now finally a new striker Rickie Lambert on a two year contract . All in all 13 New Trollope players- a whole team. We should be positive![]()

Calling this present City team as a new team is stretching it somewhat,the current midfield is still very much the same as last season and that's the problem in my view,you have players in that midfield that are low on confidence and one paced, should have been addressed in the transfer window but predictable ignored by Trollope

The debt wasn't just run up by him, although his foolishness in trusting first Milky and then Dalman and OSG loose with the chequebook was his fault, not to mention what went on before with Sam the Sham and weasel Risdale. Mind you we all were quite happy when things were going well, as we all said Tan knew nothing about football. Thankfully no doubt pissed off with all the money he was having to put in on a monthly basis he saw sense, took charge and is now getting us slowly back to being run like a proper business, an area he has some expertise in. It may take a few years but hopefully with good management we just might get a decent Championship team. Hopefully with players we've got if they gel together, we may not make the play offs but we could keep away from the relegation spots.

Do you really think Trollope wouldn't have been trying to get a few more players? His hands are practically tied. Give it a rest!
