Massengo was more expensive surely?

My thoughts exactly 

Pay him off, thank him for his time and give him a long holiday 

He can't be going back to Westerlo so time to get ahead of the game and sort his future out 

Completly agree, when Andy King comes in ahead of you when 4-0 up at home after 83 mins it’s time to walk. 

If he can’t get in when we’re 4-0 up at home he might as well just go home…

Maybe next game then…

Why would we play him if he’s not proving good enough in training?  

Why would we have him on the bench?

That's the one. I really hope it's not how we signed Mabude, but I have a hunch. 

Think we need to give up online scouting and go back to the good old fashion actually looking at players.

@Harry do you have meetings about recommended players still? Or has that fallen on it's head?

Fallen on its head since certain people left I believe.

Loans can be for both. A try before you buy is not a bad thing 

My point was we’ve not really “tried”  

Results aside what was the point in this loan. Since he’s joined we’ve played 11 games.

1 game he didn’t make the squad 

7 times he’s sat on the bench and not got off it.

3 times he’s come off the bench for a grand total of 44 minutes. 

He’s not played since Cardiff away where he got 8 minutes on February 2nd.

Now we’re safe surely we either give him game time or bring some of our own youth players in who we think could step up.

Baffling loan so far.

Yep. I thought this needed to be moved to the transfer section. 

As a side note, seems bizarre we have a thread about some drum and bass no mark and we have to have a different section for threads on LJ and Cotts etc. It just ain’t the same. 

How does he get away with shutting roads like he does? Police must hate these events surely? 

He a guy who rides around various places in a bike playing drum and bass music from speakers. He did one which started at the suspension bridge a while back.

He’s very popular and is like a pied piper in that hundreds if not thousands follow him around the route. 

It’s usually all very good natured.

I assume city have him the shirt with his name on the back as a PR exercise. 

Manning made a big point in his radio Bristol Interview of how good it was to have James back, hopefully he makes sure we resign him. Good experienced professional who sets the standard and moves us forward. Give him a 2 year deal.

No way near in the same category as Murray. He isn’t a legend at this club. But that’s just one man’s opinion.

Make that two!

Dont call me a liar. I say what i think and tell the truth.

Sky bet actually would only let me put £20 max on it so i went through to bet 365 to put the rest on, i took screen shots for you.

Shocking odds on B365.

Alan Dicks has a lot in common with Liam Manning.  He was a young coach who no one had heard of when he was brought in as manager, and a very vocal section of the fans were screaming for him to be sacked in his first season at the club.  Luckily Harry Dolman resisted that temptation, held his nerve, and eventually it paid off, big time.

Do you seriously think Manning can do what Dicks did and take us to the top flight?

Agree 100% mate

It’s sad but in some ways I prefer a low grade racing night out on the flat up bath. Cheap as chips, decent view, can get a decent bet on ok, nice surroundings, not ripped off, they make an effort and put bands etc on.

I'd add stupid rules and regs while there, one in one out etc, no beer outside the tents!

I usually go tattersalls, but that’s got stupidly busy so now usually go Club, but even that is full of assholes. It’s not the day out it was say 15 years ago.

Cheltenham is certainly not what it was, crowds down and uncompetitive racing

I have my own ideas/reasons for the dwindling crowds, anybody else have any opinions?

Cost of living.

Standard of racing.

Ridiculous cost of food and drink.

Ticket prices.

Transport.

Did we not do any background on this bloke before hiring him!

How on earth did this guy get to pick and train our team

The bloke, to me at least, appears to be/is on the Autism spectrum! 

He trots out the same crap every week with no recognizable personality. Which surprise surprise shows up in our team each week

What has happened TGH Knight and particularly Conway. The latter is a shadow of the player he was! 
 

Christ someone make this stop!
 

 

Well done, you’ve won the **** of the day award by an absolute mile! 

Is that the city fans chanting “we’re fu&@inf shit” ?
