What The **** Is Going On ?

After yet another week of press rumour accompanied by a deafening silence from City, fans are still non the wiser about the fate of their club. In the words of the great Marvin Gaye, "What's Going On?"

After the news of assets being frozen, I must have imagined that the Board had allegedly set a deadline of Friday last week for "Frank's" mob to prove they still had enough suitcases of readies to buy the club. This evening, the M.E.N are reporting that a further £123m of assets have been frozen in addition to the £830m from last week. How deep are this guy's pockets?

How much more time are the Board going to waste before it dawns on them that the whole thing is as dead as a doornail....... unless they know something we don't? ..... and if they do, please tell us?

Where is the money then? If he has sufficient funding, why is it taking so long to materialise?

How come the Board were so quick to dismiss Ray Ranson's approach and yet they are open-endedly clinging on to Shinawatra?

Is there really an American consortium ... are there two as has been speculated ?? .... does anyone really know?

We're only into June and yet this is already turning out to be an Annus Horiblis of mega proportions, even by City standards with the nightmare prospect of Kenny Jackett at the helm at the start of the season.

I wonder what Alan Sugar would say to the current Board given a chance?

The words "fired" and "you're" spring instantly to mind !

I think the last one out did turn the lights off...there isn't a glimmer from the Club at the moment.

In all my years of following City, I've never known such a shambles and utter mis-management. Come back Mr Bernstein - please ?

if it wasn't so serious, it would actually be quite amusing. It's like the club are pressing the self-destruct button. With all the premiership TV money at stake, why put the club at risk in the way they are doing now? It just makes no sense at all.

Ranson was told to put up or shut up! Hence his withdraw! The board know what the position is and will not let us down, unfortunately if there is no buyer we all now what the reality is!

How come the Board don't seem to be adopting the same tough approach with Shinawatra as they did with Ranson? Just exactly what has Shinawatra put up in the last couple of months?

Bring in Ron 'Manager' Atkinson to sort it out. Fly on the wall documentary, bound to win some oscars for this shambollocks.

They were obviously charmed by the huge promises of Shittywatra over Ranson...they shouldn't forget that old saying beware of Thais bearing gifts...have I got that right ? ..ummm..

Just been reported that he's been ordered back to Thailand to answer more charges or face arrest - surely even by now Wardle and Macintosh must see this is never going to happen and is not right for the club
