He’s still a teenager who doesn’t speak the language. Let’s not write him off after a few months. He was highly rated in Italy, given time he’ll come good. Look at how long it’s taken DCL to get to grips with things and he’s 3 years older. Take that for perspective.

They’ll have had a decent idea what’s below from the kings doc foundations a mile or two away. I’m sure if they could build a massive brick building like the tobacco warehouse next door they’ll be able to build a stadium.

First game at the new ground if they’re both retired give him and Jags a testimonial there.

Love the design. Theres no new ground in England that looks anything like it. The brickwork will look stunning and fit in perfectly with the surroundings.

Capacity seems right for where we are right now. It has the scope to go bigger with ease providing regs change so I wouldn’t stress too much. Last thing we want is to be playing in a stadium with 5-10k empty seats every week. Being brutally honest after the novelty of year 1 and 2 in there...

Fans are entitled to do whatever they like. The relationship between players and fans isnt what it was, the gulf in wage brackets means 99% of players live in a difference universe now to ordinary folk. Schneiderlin earns more in a week than the average fan would earn in 3 years, if he can’t...

Councils are being encouraged by the current govt to be creative with how they generate cash. It’s the tory way. Yes it is a big added risk on the balance books but in turn it spearheads private investment and regeneration of the era. In the long run it pays for itself and lessens the need for...

Spiralling costs seems to be the media line but realistically £500 million is the going rate. £300 million sounded on the cheap side when the original plan was laid out. I firmly believe this will happen. Moshiri has pumped in £200 million of his own money (Buying and clearing debt), that’s...

6 weeks ago we faced the very real prospect of a relegation dogfight. Big Sam has come in and steadied the ship. Before we criticise too harshly can we remember how many goals we were concealing and how unbalanced our side looked just a short time ago. Give him a transfer window or two before...

3 year review period....when BM is expected to open and new revenue streams emerge.

If City don't win today and Chelsea see off United tomorrow that draw at United Old Trafford could really bite us on the arse. I'm amazed just how close we are to the top 4 given our terrible mid season run.

Coleman had an equally tough time right at the start of his career (5-0 Benfica). Let's give him some time to adjust, very harsh to write him off after yesterday.

Meis is good at incorporating historical significance into design. (Roma for eg is based on the Colosseum) . I have a sneaking suspicion the leitch type design will be in his plans somehow.

He's a business man and is using every trick in the book to further us. No issue at all with what he is doing, it's actually long term a much better model for us. If God forbid he died tomorrow we have a deal in place that is affordable, short term relying on sugar daddy once upon a time meant...

Anyone else clock the wink at the end. I think he's signing...
