Fascinating viewing, I liked watching the scenes with the transfer dealings and how they pushed them through. Has that Jonny Williams managed to stay injury free this season? Or is he even still there?

He's moving on up in the football world. Now playing for Charlton Athletic lol
 
Finally got round to watching it. Not normally into this sort of thing, heard loads of things about the City one but don't intend to ever watch that, seeing a team constantly winning and everything being dandy isn't gripping TV for me. This though was a tragic soap opera that I was hooked on.

The optimism everyone at the club and city felt when Coleman arrived, made me feel so sorry for all the staff who worked there knowing how things would ultimately play out. Why did he go? The new owner obviously wanted to make changes but Coleman himself to me wasn't clear on whether or not he wanted to stay, he seemed to throw the towel in weeks before and McGeady's comments show I wasn't the only person thinking it.

Rodwell comes across as a proper villain, I'm sorry I've ever defended him now. Does an interview with a rag saying he's fitter than he's ever been but then lies on a table in the treatment room saying there's no chance he's going to play. Heartless mercenary only arsed about his contract whilst people around him are scared for their livelihoods. C-word.

Gibson I actually felt a bit of sympathy for, he seemed to actually be bothered about playing well and helping the club but clearly he's a man with a serious problem. What a waste of talent, rated him whilst he was here but his career has been story of what not to do. I hope he's finally started addressing things because I think this documentary did show that he is an honest person with a work ethic.

That Lewis Grabban seems a right little worm. Refusing to play for a club in a relegation dogfight because he thinks too good for that? He's spent the bulk of his career in that league and I don't think has ever scored in the PL any time he's been it. Why he's got such a high opinion of himself? Celebrating the way he did as well when he went back there with Villa, pathetic. Glad he never came up with them.

Oddly I really ended up really liking Williams, never knew much about him but had always assumed he was just a little beaut. Instead he came across as a very humble and sweet bloke. Gutsy of him to let himself be filmed talking to a psychologist about deeply personal insecurities, he's a great example to other pros.

Ultimately I'm glad the whole series seemed to end on a bit of a high note. New owner, a great win at home and pretty much all the arsehole players gone. Hopefully they're back were they belong soon.

I've just started watching it. A real eye opener I have to say. Some absolute beauts in the game who don't know how lucky they are to get paid to play the game.
 
Just been catching up on this , what a mess they were in, can't help but feel sorry for the fans watching that going on, some of there players need a good long look at themselves , Grayson didn't have a chance with that shower.
 
Hopefully Pickford watches this and gets homesick for a move back to the only group of fans who actually like him.

I finally spunked for netflix and finished watching this last night. Fantastic show.

Williams scoring was my favorite moment of the show.

Its funny after all 8 episodes I still can't comprehend how awful everything was for them last season. Look at how utter @#%$ we've been this year and despite our best efforts we aren't even going to sniff relegation, let alone getting relegated back-to-back.
