The Return of the King

These last few weeks have been eventful to say the least. Anything can happen in three days. I'm back in Manchester working at an electrical servicing company and am staying with some very nice people for the time being - the food is great and the lodging is luxurious; I'm being treated like a King!

Tomorrow we have some appointments to look at flats and are hopeful to find something. I guess the more I think about it, the more I'd like to buy as renting isn't cheap. Especially if I'm back for good - I don't want to be paying rent for the next 5 years of my life.

Speaking of which.. I've just turned the quarter century milestone! Life flies by ever so quickly but I do hope the next 25, God-willing, turn out to be as exciting as the last 25. Thanks for the surprise party Vic, and Marlon for hosting it. Until I recognised four cars parked outside I was still unsuspecting ;)

Since my last post City have indeed sacked the manager and are still losing. I don't know what the answer and I fear the dreaded 'R' word :(

Plan B

We're already well into the new year, time has flown by and its probably time to make a blog entry, so here goes...

It was a tough time over Christmas with my grandad passing away; we recently held a funeral which was attended by over a hundred people including close family members. He did a lot for me and my family so I am grateful for his contribution to the life I have. He worked hard, encouraged us to study hard and made sacrifices for his children and us, his grand children. We will miss him.

New Year was spent back up in my flat in Manc. On NY Eve, a few of us went down to watch Mike's band, Plan B, perform in a pub in a dodgy part of South Manchester. After that, we welcomed in 2007 back at the flat with drinks, nibbles and party games. I won't go into too much detail, suffice to say it was a fun night (we finished at 4:30am) and I was aching in the morning and well into the afternoon.

As I'm currently back in Coventry, I was looking forward to seeing some form of Sky Blue revival. Sadly, I cannot see that happening under the current manager. Having gone to see the 4-2 home defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace, I really do think its time for us to part company. We're not playing good football.
