  1. It is not the losing of games. Rather it is 1. The failure to achieve this season what he was appointed to achieve 2. The hurtling down the league 3. Manning’s inane interviews and blaming the players 4. The way we’ve dropped points with the players half the men they were under Nige 5. The mismanagement during matches 6. The dire no entertainment football Etc etc He simply as many agree well beyond his comfort zone. There is, imo, no chance of him improving at this level, let alone the level we aspire to
  2. I am afraid the truth is simple, as many have said. Manning clearly isn’t good enough. He must go and go asap. SL must just accept they made a mistake. No shame in that. Remember, SL, it is always the cover up that gets you in the end.
  3. That alone would have been enough for me to reject him at interview

    Emotion

    I expect to be dead by then!
  5. He might just as well have said we are looking forward to being back in L1
  6. One word in response. RUBBISH
  7. Of course he must go. Sadly none of us, or the players, will have a vote. I am beginning to come to the view he is the worst manager in my over 70 years of being a City fan
  8. Who on earth would give him money to spend or BT for that matter.
  9. Or scouting, or pr, or in fact anything frankly. He has had his day and has failed to move with the times. He seems like a throwback to ann older era.
  10. Does he know nothing about management? Working 7to 7 is nothing to boast about. Evidence suggests a better life balance leads to better management. There is nothing meritorious in working long hours per se. Just get a grip, get organised, learn to delegate, and for goodness sake tackle the job with genuine enthusiasm, and enthuse players and fans alike. Oh, and stop putting the blame on others. The buck stops with you.
  11. Frankly I will be pleased with one point from that list as I believe under Manning we are more likely to get zero points
  12. That assumes the players knew what the game plan was - oh and that Mannimg did too.
  13. On the basis of Nige’s better record with thinner squad.
  14. We don’t have anything other than despair under Manning
  15. Ironic isn’t it? We sack a manager because he has failed in the eyes of the super twins, and yet the points achieved under said manager will save us from relegation. Think somehow the twins got it all the wrong way round.
  16. Poor poor goal to give away Very much doubt we can get back in this.
  17. Well thank goodness I won’t be around for the parade round the pitch in 25 years time
  18. Formation was kept, tackling was hard, helping teammates good, just one lapse and all the good is cancelled out. Personally think Conway should have done better with his chance Hey Ho on to tighter and more penetrative playin second 45.
  19. Put simply, what a mess we are in and no sign of a plan to get us out of it.
  20. Tinnion interview It matters not that he has been here 30 years, or that Manning is trying really really hard. What matters is that they know what they are doing. Personally I remain unconvinced
  21. I was hoping to make the long and very expensive journey to AshtonGate towards the end of the season to make sure I saw a Nige game, before his possible retirement. Sadly, will now not be wasting time and money in coming. Football is in the entertainment business, win or lose. As reported by those there today, we are far short of playing in a way that might encourage me to come.

    Front foot

    Front foot reminds me of my favourite Terry Bush story. City are attacking and Bush has the ball He should shoot but doesn’t. A fan shouts out put it on your left foot Another fan shouts in reply, Bush still hesitating, he’s trying to work out which is his left foot. I think the current players are trying to work out which is their front foot
