etc.

We're more than good enough to compete but we don't win anything because of the manager we have.
It's our fault we're still clinging on to Eboue, do you think that sort of dross would have made any of our Rivals defence?

It's our fault we signed Kos and Squillachi... Bargin basement signings instead of the type of quality our rivals could pry off EPL teams.

It's our fault we had to re-sign Jens, instead of stumping up the extra 1-2 mill for mark schwarzer last summer.

And in Winter, instead of meeting Blackburns evaluation of Samba, we thought the extra 2mill beyond our evaluation for potentially season defining cover wasn't good value.

I could go on... I think this summer will prove just how pathetic a force we've become during transfer windows.


Even with a shit manager, city have proven just how much money matters. If AW has to go, then he has to go, but the bottom line is that even a new manager would want/need more resources than what we have to build a competent team out of this lot.
