Out of respect to Joe, they should leave it until tomorrow. Especially if he's playing tonight.

Awaiting the story in tomorrows papers that Bravo was disrespectfully waiting in the stands whilst Joe played his last game for City.
 
City have to wait until Thursday to announce Bravo, with Barca holding on to his registration until they sign his replacement. [Mirror]

Hope this is true. Out of respect for Joe, no announcement should be made till tomorrow anyway, especially if he plays.
 
It wasn't just those two, though was it. Big Dave Watson, Asa, Kiddo, Joe Royle & Dennis Tueart were also told that thère services were no longer required, shortly after "Big Mal's second coming in 1979.

Malcolm Allison, was, is, and will always remain, an absolute City legend, in my eyes, for all the successes he helped us achieve the 60's.... And ensuring that the rags got more than their fair share of hefty kicks up the arse, en route.

But even I have to admit, that the ruthless dismantling of a squad, that had come within a gnat's gnadger of pipping the candle dippers to the title, a year or so earlier, and replacing the departees with. the likes of Steve Daley, Micheal Robinson, Paul Sugrue & Barry Silkman, was foolhardy in the extreme. The mere memory of it, still makes me wince, even now.

I totally agree with you, it was criminal. In fact imo that dismantling of that side and replacing them with inferior players whilst at the same time spending fortunes on those replacements was probably the begining of the downward spiral that we all subsequently had to endure. Did we pay £1.4m for Steve Daley back then? and how much is that in todays money?
