  1. Disagree. His lack of flexibility is purely down to him. Would be willing to back him if I saw some gears turning, some adjustments - we saw it with NP trying out multiple systems to find what suited the squad. He's just a crap manager.
  2. The finger pointing and arguing amongst themselves says otherwise.
  3. Oh look, another one. And I'm not the first to notice. No one claims NP was a saint. But he, in interviews, outlined what merits a manager should be based on. One of those outlined parameters was that it was his job to find a system for 'these' players to get results. Not his system. Not his 'framework' or 'processes'. The squad first. Manning is 180 the opposite and he's losing the dressing room because of it. We've gone from defending the players and taking the flack and responsibility under NP to blaming the players and not the process under Manning. It's no wonder we're now seeing soft performances. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/every-word-nigel-pearson-city-7970393?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target Just see Niges post match from West Brom as a comparison. 'Our Players, Our Fans' Compared to https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/liam-manning-bristol-city-cardiff-9138398 'I want, I want, I want', then 'they (the team) should feel x, y, z. It's just terrible leadership. Leagues apart. Literally and in methodology with regards to squad culture.
  4. Also no way was there the announced figures there today - 19k. Tops.
  5. Not only that - this board lack so much balls like a bad boyfriend they'd probably do it via text message.
  6. Are talking about this season when he was in charge, and the whole - ya know - injury crisis where Sykes played at LB and Joseph James - who Manning doesn't even name on the bench once, was RB? Or are we talking about last season when once NP nailed down 4-3-3 and we actually looked consistent, performance wise, and just needed to make sure Scott was replaced but the Heirarchy decided that was too straight forward and took a massive risk on TGH that for me has completely flattered to deceive.
  7. Only way I'd even contemplate it with my budgets being tight buying a new house the end of the year would be if they sacked Manning and Tinnion, and reappointed NP and gave him reign to clear house. Otherwise that £200+ renewal cost is going on building materials - now that Wickes isn't going to be there (which is actually really annoying). DIY and watching the paint dry would genuinely give me more fulfillment.
  8. *sigh* Let me find Keith Dawe's phone number....
  9. On the evidence, he doesn't deserve a preseason being frank. A 6ft thick pillbox is more flexible.
  10. He went as he absolutely lost the squad due to his own horrific man management and overspending.
  11. That's honestly... just a bit sad.
  12. Almost would feel if that happened get NP to lead football matters. Could advise King etc.
  13. Add Lisa Knight as well. Director of Communication my left foot.
  14. Their egos would love that. And I'd love Cooper to shoot them down live on sky in front millions, maybe that would humble them - doubtful, but I can dream.
  15. Don't think it's even that at this stage. He's just failing.
  16. Yet if that was NP today you would have slated him. Joke.
  17. I'm not Dave. But I seriously can't see us picking up anything this month, especially Ipswich nor Leicester. At best a point at Swansea, as Williams seems to have turned a corner.
  18. If you're actually, seriously, telling that to other posters that with our form being what it is, in a league as unpredictable as ours...? Kindly say that to yourself. In the mirror.
  19. I mean sure. But do you trust our board with the project of that breathtaking scope, decision making, common sense?
  20. That's a point I fundamentally disagree with. It can be an indicator - sure, but much of that then comes down to other skill-sets longer term, I.e. Recruitment, squad-building, strategic decision-making. Farke (Norwich), Wagner (Huddersfield), Frank (Brentford), Hughton (Brighton), Jokanovic (Fulham), all promoted two-three years into tenures after slow starts in their first seasons of clearing deadwood.
  21. I can't wait to hear Ians mental gymnastics for this one. Going to be like a yoga knot on top of a pole vault at the circe-de-soleil.
  22. What if that was the plan all along?
  23. Someone hire a plane with a banner. That'll get BBC attention. On a serious note - I'd love it if Section 82 all wore NP masks.
  24. I'd actually disagree in this instance. It's not even the cheap option - there was no logic to this one, so actually just outright ego and stupidity.
