One Team

Just said similar on another thread. Lose the away fans and you are toast.

This is depressing to read but not unexpected. If you’ve lost the away fans, arguably our most dedicated of supporters, you are totally, completely ******. Have some humility Lansdown. Admit you were wrong and get this charlatan gone.

Bang on Harry. Footballers aren’t looking to input their opinion, they need to be shown and told what to do. Emotion is what football is absolutely all about. I want to see anger, pain, frustration, pleasure and excitement. It’s what makes us feel connected and alive. I couldn’t give a shit where we are in the table or in what league we are in. Just ******* CARE for ***** sake. That’s all we ask. Remove emotion? **** off Manning .

Good grief mate.

Bored of it?! We’ve barely got started. He’s always pro Lansdown on the 3 Peaps podcast.

Roll up! Roll up! Buy your season tickets here!

Booing at the final whistle and chants of “we’re ******* shit” apparently.

It won’t, he’s plastered all over the season ticket propaganda.

WTF does he say at half time?! “Behaviours, principles, emotion”. ***** sake.

Be great if we had a couple of players we could sell for millions to reinvest into the squad for a manager with experience.

Brilliant post, absolutely nailed it there. When he leaves (as he clearly will, one way of another) you can see seeing exactly the same things elsewhere.

I’ve said elsewhere he reminds me of David from the Alien franchise.

Great post Graham, quite similar to my post just prior. I thought it was Hadwin but I think you are right! In any event I also thought they did a good job; not GT level but surprisingly good question and challenge. You can tell he’s a man under pressure from the fans, albeit perhaps not Lansdown. He’s well aware of it too; and to earlier comments it’s far from just on OTIB. Up until recently at least it was the reason he’d not been to an away game in months.

The Oxford fans said he was robotic despite their relative short term success and didn’t connect with them either. He’s got zero charisma and makes no attempt to engage the fan base; and if he is successful I am sure he will be off as soon as possible.

Huboo delivers!

Principles!

Just cannot listen to him unfortunately or get remotely excited.

I’ve just finally got round to listening to the broadcast. Having read the transcripts (thank you all!) I did think “how bad can it be?”; and it was just as bad if not worse than I was expecting! I thought Ed Hadwin did really well actually; not as direct or as good as GT, he was far more subtle but pretty effective at getting just astonishing statements out of Tinnion. One thing is for sure, and the season ticket propaganda confirms it, Manning is going absolutely nowhere. He could finish the season losing all the rest of our games and still get backed. It will be interesting to see how long he actually gets.

Correct Fevs. It was during an interview with GT towards the end of LJ’s record losing streak.

I’m surprised more people aren’t triggered by it Fevs TBH. The arrogance of it should’ve pissed each and every City fan off forever. In three words he summed up how he feels about the club and us as fans and it’s been on a downward trend ever since.

In my experience the views here about Lansdown, Tinnion and Manning are quite measured. What I see, read and hear away from OTIB in my social circle is far more damning. You world view may be different of course, I respect that, but I don’t think you can really quote the views on here as not being representative when what you actually just have is an opinion and perception; unless you’ve surveyed the entire fan base of course!

People talk about the Nige sacking as the moment they lost faith in Lansdown. For me it was always this comment first and when my opinion of him changed for the worse. The Nige sacking just underlined it.

Good post Fevs. I wish he’d stayed looking after the academy, the most slidiest of sliding doors moments. To a couple of your points he was involved in the sacking and the appointment.

It’s putting me off as well! The Manning propaganda machine in full effect now then. Wonder if he will be on the image this time next year?! As many have said why is Tinnion on it? As for the prices, 10% is too much of an increase.

Yep! Or given Tinnion’s interview yesterday a commemorative purple and lime shirt with TINNION and ‘30’ on the back!
