Good to see you are admitting to the poor atmosphere at city games. Seems a strange way to improve it though.

I cannot think of many football grounds in this country that have a 'good atmosphere'.

As long as we stay away from those 'fans' they use at Craven Cottage, I will be happy.

Will be interesting to see if it has the same effect against when you play some of the lesser sides.

We will see in the first week of January

FC do a good job at listening to the fans.

They're not a football club though. They're a pressure / protest group

I still sing 'Lets go Storm.' Might lend my giant foam hand to a city fan now though to take to Eastlands.

Sadly I agree with the above. I will let the rest of your post slide.

Really impressed with Nigel De Jong, looking like a very good player.

Still Think City need two quality midfielders and another striker to challenge for the title. I dont like Santa Cruz or Robinho.

Chelsea showed you can still buy the title these days, but they have one thing that city didnt, well, 2 if you include the far better players. The main thing was they had an awesome manager.

City arent big enough a club to attract a world class manager, in the same way they cant attract world class players, just mercenaries.

They wont win the league, not in my life time anyway

I reckon they could get Mourinho if they went for him hard enough. The problem might be that the CC semi and win over Chelsea has fooled them into thinking Hughes might be the man for the job.

I've got a feeling Gary Megson will be sacked by Bolton tomorrow. I've just heard that they've called a press conference for tomorrow, although there's nothing on the 'net ATM.

I might be wrong but has he not had really limited resources? I mean some poeple seem far too unrealistic and if this is true its yet another example of boards with unrealistic expectations.
