Anyone taken a look at City Football Group and done some unnecessary thinking?

Asian/Indian market is potentially HUGE, we have that connection already, a City that thrives on tourism, a "brand" that is an easy sell............

He applied for the job at Lincoln, were they looking at buying them as well? Ignoring the fact that they can't do it anyway as others have said, the only link is that a young ambitious coach has returned home to push his football management career forward, absolutely nothing else, football managers/coaches move all the time, there is literally nothing else to go on.

OUFG!

Sometimes it's worth a little look at what our chums down the A420 think. One quote from TheTownEnd:

'I suspect he will do will there. Compo was 900k according to reports. Theres only one team out of Oxford and us thats on an upward trajectory, and it sure aint Swindon!'

It must be jolly cold being in that shadow right now .

 

[Eric Blair]

One of,if not the best manager to have ever coached in the ISL
Can't speak highly of him,great human being before a master tactician...lead us to an unbeaten run for 18 games unheard of in Indian football along w breaking many other records.. puts in a genuine effort to build a bond w fans...you guys are lucky to have him, take care of him,I can't imagine mumbai without him and it's really difficult.
For the last time though,
BUCKINGHAM'S BLUE ARMY

Thanks for taking the time to comment. We will look after him here just like you guys have done. I'll definitely look out for Mumbai results now. The way you guys saw him off from the airport was very very classy.

I had a listen to that and enjoyed it. It's a good insight into the man who appears thoughtful and erudite. His ethos appears to be on creating a good working culture and then the coaching is actually only 30% of the job. It sounds like a bit of a throwback to MApp's 'no dickheads' policy too.

He speaks like a modern football coach. To the younger generation, they're likely to get it - they buy into commitments to 'integrity', 'respect' (for each other) and understanding differences and cultures within a squad. It's the sort of stuff that the footballing dinosaur pundits like Richard Keys would despise.

One standout from me was his comment about understanding what works already at a club and not needing to change that. Even in difficult circumstances, there will always be some positives and to work with those. It's reassuring to know that he won't be reinventing the wheel here. He simply doesn't need to.

This is basically catnip for me. Love it.

Any chance we could twin Kidlington with Mumbai? Perhaps BillyOx could ask Middleton

He met the players on a zoom call from Mumbai like I said above.

Did he though? Haha

Coaching team-wise, apparently DB and Wayne Brown are very close.

Personally, I believe Brown's time at the club is over. His coaching style has not brought results.

Not sure I'd want us to revisit old staff. Was Brown any good ? Mate or no mate, I'd want the best attainable.

Curry on the menu now.

Guess I was right after all

I'm just teasing, @OX14

I could've picked any number of slightly off-target ITK reports from the last week, no harm intended.

Doe make you wonder how they managed to find out DB's flight details though. Someone's got themselves a tier 1 source there.

I just hope the pilot was a little more in the know than Ryan's, just going over Dubai and the tracking of the
flight a page or so later, having the plane hundreds of miles north of Dubai.

 

[NottsYellow]

Des has a pilots licence, he can fly himself from there.

Pilots licence - that will be useful in 2028 when we are in the Champions League.

 

[MJB]

Unless they decide to flog that small team in Manchester because they think that the mighty Yellows are a better bet?

Sky Blue is a rubbish color anyway. Get everyone around the world decked out in Yellow & Blue…..

I’m so parochial, that when people refer to City, I immediately think of Oxford City.

Are this Man City team any good?

 

[Bicester Yellow]

With their history with climate change, can’t see Middleton being much of a goer for that but then again, everyone has their price..

 

[Essexyellows]

And they already own a club in our market.

Can’t happen.

Money talks.

They might sell Man City

Sell the property that everyone wants at the peak of its value.

Then there is money to be made by buying a "fixer upper" that has planning in place.

And I`m not talking about our latest property transactions.

I'm not clamouring for any previous members of staff to be brought back or anything, but isn't it possible that there were extenuating circumstances?

Isn't it a bit arbitrary to assume that WB was part of the problem with KR, rather than a victim of KR? This was plainly the case with the players after all...

Not to mention the fact the we have a goalkeeper who is simply better now!
