Lots of good players still without clubs. Jonathan Afolabi, Callum Gribbin, Callum Roberts, Will Buckley, Kyle Lafferty, David Meyler, Jack Hobbs, Gary Hooper, Stephen Ireland, Josh McEachran and Ross McCormack to name some. Gareth Barry 😁

Fingers crossed for a successful Scottish signing (albeit loan) if it happens. Think of any? I can only think of Donnie Gillies who was any cop (and remember where he came from). Martin Cameron, Darryl Duffy...not really Ian Alexander?

your wrong, they do have standing, watched England there two years ago I was in Dortmund about 3 years ago I wouldn't call it safe standing there, in fact when they scored everyone ploughed forwards like the 70's. This was behind the goal facing the yellow wall when the away team didn't take up many tickets. it’s in the top corners of the ground👍🏽

Sorry mate, I meant to say, in the top corners of the stadium, it’s safe standing. They have seats, with a hand rail in front Ah, apologies, I've only done the Sud & Nordtribune terracing not the corners. Rail seats are pretty great to be honest, much safer than seats. i love em, makes for a far better atmosphere 👍🏽

Same architects doesn't necessarily mean an adaptation if it is indeed the same architects (it may not be, that was pure speculation). I'd like to see us do something a bit different and I feel like an architect worth their salt would relish a challenge like this one. A steep, tiered stadium like they have in Germany could be an interesting option here with safe standing (I'm thinking proper Dortmund style). Build the blue and white wall! Dortmund don't have safe standing, they have a terrace with crush barriers. Celtic have safe standing, safe standing allows people to only move laterally not up and down the terrace...

Gary smart smashing in a 30 yarder at Ashton. To call it day light robbery, would be an understatement. I was in the Williams stand with my grandad going absolutely mental, whilst he was sh**ting him self😂

What is really sad is people on here embarrassing themselves dreaming that he would ever consider coming back even if we would have him, while that other lot down the road are watering themselves at how pathetic some on here have become.
im not dreaming about him coming back, simply stated I would have him back, seems to me, your the pathetic one, actually worrying what they think!! #growup

Anyone who wouldn’t have him back deserves another season of Tom Nichols and relegation that would come with it. Taylor would be head and shoulders above every player in our squad JCH aside. I'd rather be relegated than watch that put the quarters on again. sad

Agreed. Brendan Rogers, Eddie Howe, Rafa Benitez, Jurgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger all very defensive managers. What a load of tripe. GC is setting up the way he does as he doesn’t have the confidence in the players to play another style. Let’s hope a signing or two can change that. The managers you mention are all PL managers who have massive funds to spend in the PL and Brendan Rogers was a very defensive manager until he had Suarez at his disposal and he converted Gerrard from being a box to box midfielder to being a DCM. He would look attacking being manager of Celtic when it’s men vs boys most weeks. Come down a few leagues and you will notice the difference between managers who play defensive vs attacking football depending on where they plied their trade as players. Brendan Rogers a very defensive coach 😂 Swansea played probably the best brand of football they’ve ever played, and Liverpool were just hanging on to games as well as. Yeh alright then

Agree with pretty much all of your assessment, I will say, for me Coughlan has my support until September 3, if there’s no midfield creativity brought in, I’ll also be wanting him out👍🏽

Just a case of same sh**, different season, we’ve needed a creative midfielder since this time last year? But we’ve got no money, so that won’t happen. Brace yer self for another extremely long season 😩 We have a decent budget apparently, so unfair to say we've got no money. Managers / clubs make decisions on who they buy / get for free, and what wages are paid (Plus of course managers inherit some players) Everything in life is a decision. ok,so GC has made a bad decision, in not so far, bringing a proper ball playing midfielder to our club. He omitted one from our club six months ago, and it’s been blatantly obvious since that time, that we’ve needed one?

I like where you are at. I'm fairly close, but I'm just stuck with sticking by our current owners because they seem to be the people who have lied to me the least. Forum ITKers? Unreliable to say the least. The SC director? Still says nothing. BEP? Has anyone believed anything written in there in the last 5 years? It's a ridiculous situation where literally no one has any credibility left. Sad times. Maybe, but I judge them by their competence moreso than their lies and as well meaning as Wael comes across, regardless of what people ITK claim, I have doubts he will deliver which is why it’s no surprise there is a counter-rumour that it’s the work of a consortium. Either way I’m bloody fed up of being glued to this forum every ten days because a new slice of bullshit has been served up. I really wish all involved would sh** or get off the f**king pot because the constant pretension to ITK and long-running consortium (do they exist/don’t they exist) psychodrama is getting right on my chuffing tits now. It’s worse than bloody Brexit. Buy the f**king land and build us a f**king stadium or f**k off, the lot of you. Grrrrrrrrrrr! sorry ard 💪🏽

Apparently locals around Ashton have also complained they moved in expecting there not to be any noise from the Stadium as it was always quiet when City were playing at home. still is, unless Leeds play there👍🏽
