We do need a back up though. I'd look for a young guy from the championship or league one to integrate over the next couple of years

We have to grind out points until the new year and hopefully emerge on January 1st with about 22 points. Then sign two creative midfield players and sell a couple of strikers. What makes me really furious is the ineptitude of the club's managerial infrastructure that allowed the Silva fiasco. We have managed to start the season with a weaker midfield than 12 months ago, with Kingy still getting game time. He is a legend, but should be restricted to cameos off the bench. i feel for Shaky frankly because ineptitude out of his control has severely limited our options.

I simply have no idea why we gave Leo a new contract. He has scored some crucial goals for us in past seasons, but appears to offer absolutely nothing anymore. totally bizarre decision making

Whoever bats one to three for us appears incapable of scoring runs. Ned out first ball today, bottom edging an attempted pull outside off stump. When you trail by 90 odd. But who can we sign who is any good to improve our top order? May as well give Sam Evans a debut for the final game of the season

I miss dilly ding dilly dong

I'm after an adult ticket for Hudders if anyone has one that becomes available?

if he can't play until January I very much hope we are not going to argue that he is not our player, as the Mercury is suggesting. Surely any good will Silva has towards us will be lost if we refuse to take him. And you just know if he does ever make his debut for us he will twist his ankle after 14 seconds.

Punishment should fit the crime. 14 second ban for Silva, starting midnight tonight

The delicious irony that whilst we might have been a few minutes late uploading something (if indeed we were late at all) FIFA can take as long as its overbloated omnishambles of a bureaucracy wishes. Currently standing at five days

Much talk here that this appointment is rubbish or that person has been hopeless, but the truth is it is a darn hard job. We have been so short of success in recent years that it is hard to get punters through the turnstiles. The frustration is that with 30,000 at the City and 25,000 at Tigers so few come to Grace Road. I bet a decent percentage of those 50,000 people like cricket, so how do you make them want to come to, say, five days of cricket during the close season? If there were more people in the ground the atmosphere builds, players respond positively, more revenue is generated through food and drink sales and we start to become a more sustainable club. its a tough job though. There is no magic wand and remember Wasim came with one of the best reputations in the cricket world. and no, I am not Wasim

Good old @weller54 has been on those happy pills again

As I contemplate the vicissitudes of life I find myself imcreasingly contemplating what @RumbleFox would say. Soothing ointment for Foxestalk, and life itself

Totally agree. That evening will live long in the memory and not quite as anxiety inducing as the Prem title run-in. Brilliant experience which made me so proud of my Club

Love reading back this thread. It's like when City go one down and win two one!

Lots of rain around tonight and a point would do us
