No decent manager will work under the current set up.

Pearson did for quite a while before it went chest up.

JL wouldn’t take over because he’s incompetent & has no credentials to run a club

What are you talking about no credentials ? 
The clue is in the surname. 
 

I firmly believe that the hierarchy will support their boy in the summer with new signings and he will be gone by October. 
It’s what they do. Freaking clueless the lot of them.

If this is what you base things on then I recommend not looking at the Swansea stats last week!

I didn’t watch the match ( I was washing my hair) but cold hard stats don’t point to a hammering. 
Just to add that , curiously , after more than fifty years loving this club.I don’t really care anymore. I am thoroughly peed off with the club . I have dropped Robin’s TV . Rarely listen to the interviews or watch the highlights. They have killed the little enjoyment that I got from supporting this team. 
 

TBF the stats are not bad. It’s just the result .

Tactical genius is Manning

Good one! And, yes, I’ve seen a couple recently where I genuinely haven’t had a clue. I guessed at one, and at the other I waited to see who came out! 

Risky though: there’s one or two posters over on a particular thread on the politics forum who’ll have something to say, and likely at inordinate length, if they spot this! 

How about this beauty I saw in New York. I just peed in my trousers as it took too long too decide which facility to use.

I don’t collect toilet sign photos by the way , contrary to the evidence.

Trendy signs for toilets that aren’t clear and leave you uncertain when you enter. ( sorry about that  ladies !) 

What’s wrong with male or female or ladies and gents ? 
Here is an actual sign.

Which one are you ?

You could literally pick Manning up and put him down at any club, anywhere in the country, and he would say the same things.

Compare and contrast to the previous bloke who took a genuine interest in the area and the club.

The difference couldn't be more stark. Or more dispiriting.

Good results will help Manning, obviously, but if I try to imagine a really successful season under him, I get the feeling it would still somehow be a joyless experience - certainly compared to some previous managers - with victories delivered in a cold, clinical, "don't get too high, don't get too low" manner. And at the end of it all we'd still be none the wiser about who he is or what he's like.

But that's enough hypothetical, pigs might fly, nonsense from me today already.

Great post. It’s not rocket science - don’t get why he doesn’t at least try to connect with fans. 

He hasn’t got to that chapter yet . 

Scared their careers will be ruined.

Yep, that comment was “the moment” for me too.  Changed everything.

It was at last some truth from the top. 
My club you peasants. I’ll do what I like with it , from afar of course.

BTs passing ability and his goal against Liverpool rank him very highly in my his opinion.

How did Tinnion knife Pearson in the back exactly?

I am not quite sure if she’s imitating stabbing someone or giving a hand job to the invisible man.

I think Tinnion should have stayed where he was in a bullet proof position at the club where he was doing a decent job. 
The fact that he’s responsible for the tasks he has now is equivalent to a cleaner at the hospital being promoted to surgeon because he’s been there thirty years.

Another goal for Seb last night (it's the 5th goal at the end of the clip). Plus an assist for the 4th.   

 

All this means less pressure on the club to buy the ‘ big number 9’ . 
They will probably bring him into the squad next season and break him.
