I'd love if some Sheikh claimed he was buying them and later laugh it off as a joke . Let's see of they stand by their false morals in the interim.

They wanted the saudis before they went for newcastle

We weren’t struggling when John Bond left. We were 11th iirc. We capitulated as soon as he did though.

I hated John Bond with a passion.

Elton Musk?
They have more chance in getting Elton John

I guess that's why they call it the blues

It wouldn’t have been dirty oil money if it was fuelling a renaissance at O.T!

Or 1/6th of the Worlds population.

I guess 1/6th of the world's population is not in a great place right now then?

He got rid of the youth policy. He sacked Steve Fleet who had been successful in winning the old Central League season after season. At the same time bringing players through like Kenny Clements, Ged Keegan, Peter Barnes, Gary Owen & others. All so he could install one of his mates in the post. Paul Power was another he brought through. I was so disgusted with him I sold on my season ticket half way through the season. It made me lose my love for City for a long time & took ages to get it back again. He even thought about bringing Martin Peters out of retirement who must have been in his 40's at the time.

I asked Denis Tueart why he went to Burnley. He shocked me by saying because he thought Bond was a good manager. Contrast that with Martin O’Neil who described Bonds first meeting with the City players: “He came in and spoke for 45 minutes and said absolutely nothing.”
