Your question I have already answered, which incidentally a number of folk agree with. Yes, as also said, I was a fan of Pat Beasley and many subsequent managers, not least Pearson. If you can’t see that Manning is out of his comfort zone then so be it. I, and many others, do.

I don’t think anyone is anti BCFC; after all everyone is a fan. What people are anti is the manager who is demonstrably failing, the larger entity of Bristol Sport, and the owner and Board. They, including me, are anti because we care about long term viability of the club we love

Oh dear you really are a one for personal and inaccurate comments. I was fully supportive of Pearson and years ago faced criticism from some over my concerns re Lansdowns and BS. Many more otibers now support this position.. what matters to me is the club long term. I was, for the record, fully supportive of Pat Beasley amongst a long list of other managers. Please just think through what I wrote before dashing off a reply. Quite logical position to take, if like me you think Manning will relegate us. Little to suggest otherwise. If we do win tomorrow we have the next two matches to negotiate with wins if Manning is truly the man Tinnion and JL clearly think he is. Forgive me for being cynical but after 8 decades as a fan I think I am allowed to be cynical re one match. We shall see what we shall see Good night all, sleep well and don’t worry about the morrow.

Yes if it means we can avoid relegation, for a victory will be largely meaningless in the grand scheme of Manning’s lack of ability to coach/manage. Sometimes one needs to take a step backwards in order to go forward. Imo we are in serious trouble with Manning in charge. Do you really want to take a real risk of relegation if a one-off victory keeps Manning in control until last match of season? If so, I disagree

Best winger I have seen in City shirt was Arthur Milton, even tho by then in his twilight years

According to Bristol Live on Newsnow Bristol City, Manning has talked about being a tough guy in the dressing room. As I have said before this is not a good managerial look in 21st century. He needs to own his own mistakes and attempt to carry a united team forward. We have lost a great deal with Nige’s going

But Tinnion had already done a rotten job when manager. It beggars belief that he is now in the position he is. He is a relic of a bygone footballing age, and one in which he was unsuccessful

I am sorry it has come to this but I just don’t rate Mannimg and can easily see us, with a lack of confidence , to be fighting for survival. And then don’t think Manning has the bottle for a fight. He has failed before at lower level. what a complete mess!

Sums up the club

Opportunity Knocks. Sadly never for us

Yes, of course, we need to lose and then move forward again, hopefully.A draw, even a win, would simply delay what is now inevitable. Manning is far more likely to take us down to Division 1 than up into The Prem

Same for my six year old grandson living in coastal West Sussex. After his first and only match, that against QPR, his comment was that City were idiots. At six he can be forgiven for blaming the players. At his age Manning should accept that he is the idiot.

The only real positive, as I have said on an earlier occasion, is that we are nearer the end of Manning, Tinnion and, hopefully the Lansdowns.

The whole inservice training requirement in any modern business, whatever that might be, is simply lacking at Ashton Gate. I have said for a longtime that we need to move on from 19th century management ideas. For a brief moment with Nige and Gould, I thought the Lansdowns by sheer chance had finally got the professional approach the club had lacked for decades under SL More fool me

Couldn’t go far wrong with Curtis Fleming in my opinion

Please just sell up, Mr Lansdown The majority of us, I imagine, can’t take your custodianship of City any longer

well he’s being blooming slow about it, ie something like a decade

If I had to work for Mannimg I would be putting every effort into getting out. He is so ……..boring, with zero personality, before we even get to his lack of football nous and man management. Just imagine for a moment how boring and increasingly pointless his ‘work on the grass’ must be to seasoned pros. At least James and,King are being given a master class in how NOT to manage

…… or both as likely

If Manning does not go soon and yet we survive in this division, then I see nothing but a relegation season next, unless Manning gets the boot early doors. Just look at the players signed this season for next. in a small way I feel sorry for the man. He is clearly in a job he can’t hack, and needs to be put out of his misery. Goodness knows what the old pros in the team think. But, as others have said, I would not trust the two clowns with making the next appointment as they too are in jobs beyond their capabilities. We are sadly in a dreadful decline, I just hope it isn’t terminal if they spend millions to get better because we have no one with the skill set to spend £10 let alone £10m And to think only months ago we had a proper manager

Manning clueless in last match Clueless in pre match interviews Clueless in team selection Clueless in bench selection Clueless in tactics Clueless in substitutions Clueless with no Plan B Conclusion. Clueless

Neither should have been in their present roles at all. Down to the Lansdowns and down with the Lansdowns

Yet it is now unless we get new owners who kick out Tinnion and Manning

More like thrown the towel in

No no no
