  1. Nah , tomorrow we’ll be launching the Liam Manning trainer range ! Physically impossible to walk forwards in them ! Only backwards and sideways!!
  2. Have you considered that they had already started faltering BEFORE we played them and that we didn’t take down the mighty Goliath that day? Goliath was already nursing a nasty kick in the nuts a few days before when Huddersfield nearly beat him !
  3. Manning hanging his hat on that Southampton win looks more ludicrous by the day . Saints now have almost no chance of automatic promotion and are slipping badly . They’re not Man City and are now back in 4th place .
  4. Yes . I thought the Swansea attendance was around 16,000 to be honest . The Lansdown was barely at 50% !!
  5. Must be sacked asap . His record over his 24 games is awful . The football is awful . The players look desperately unhappy. The fans are desperately unhappy . How on earth has he done enough to give him a summer window ?
  6. With you on this . I’m watching the Leicester game as my son is travelling up to join me but that aside , this will be my last game this season and I’m a season card holder . It’s not just unenjoyable now it’s actually depressing!
  7. After watching City for almost 50 years I can’t believe how passive our fans are now . 20,000 people just sat there shaking their heads but saying nothing . We’re giving the Lansdowns and their useless Technical Director such an easy time it beggars belief !!
  8. I think we’ll lose to Blackburn and Plymouth and draw with Huddersfield so 51 points for me unfortunately. I can see Rotherham being our only win over those 8 games leaving Manning with a record of 2 wins from the last 14 games I believe .
  9. I honestly believe that we just couldn’t (or wouldn’t) afford a new contract in the summer for Nige , hence taking on the work experience kid to replace him . Our January window both in and out all suggests monetary issues rather than football issues , have been the root cause of the decisions made .
  10. Totally agree . So many fans seem to view the Championship as the pinnacle of achievement and that staying there with no hope of success is somehow enjoyable . It’s a sport and everyone involved in sport as either a fan or a player surely wants to experience the highs of success and I really can’t fathom how mediocrity is so popular with some .

    Amazing window was January! We signed 5 players with not one of them getting any game time and two of which we loaned back despite clearly needing them !
  12. So much said about NP , shouldn’t have been sacked , replaced with a novice because he couldn’t work with the board etc but seemingly very little about what’s POTENTIALLY behind all that’s gone on . The evidence to me seems to point to some pretty horrible financial accounts next time and beyond once again . The truth could be that we simply couldn’t afford Nige any longer so were never going to offer him a new contract on that basis . Loaning out Andi ( one of our likely biggest earners)to Championship rivals when we were so short of firepower seemed nuts but maybe WBA are paying his wages fully whilst on loan . Loaning Max Bird and Josh Stokes straight back may also have been an economic decision to help us stay within FFP for the present year . Much has been rumoured about Matt James not being injured but that if he plays again it will trigger a contract extension ? Now we have the 10% price hike in season tickets . Not saying any of the above is fact but to me it points in that direction and if so , the board had little choice in making the unpopular decisions they did ?
  13. Just seeking clarity . Lansdown stand CENTRE? Is that just the centre block (14) or the 3 central blocks 13,14.,15 ?
  14. I was 50/50 but £700 to renew my ticket ?? Sorry but I’m going to have to bow out . Everything in life has a price but it also has a limit !!
  15. Totally agree . We can’t run the risk of us winning 2 or 3 “dead runners” over the next month or so and him being allowed the reins for next season . His football will see us all but relegated by Christmas . Not felt so strongly that a manager was “the wrong fit” in the 46 years I’ve been supporting City .
  16. This . Shocking performance today and the result papered over the cracks . If we stick with this clown as is very likely, I really fear for us next season .
  17. Losing five in a row including 2 sides in the bottom 3 and both Severnside derbies should be curtains for any manager ! I’m hopeful that the players will dig him out today and get us 3 points but would be equally unsurprised to see a snooze fest with both teams terrified of losing !!!

    Max Bird

    My apologies for a minor oversight ! It was 6 1/2 weeks out PRIOR to October rather than during October !
  19. Baldyman

    Max Bird

    That could potentially end his season ! It’s a repeat of the groin injury that kept him out for 6 weeks in October !! Have we done it again ????
  20. I’m 50/50 on the rights and wrongs of Nige going but replacing him with a kid on work experience was the most ridiculous decision in the last 10 years by the club . ( and there’s been quite a few)
  21. If we stay up , it’ll thanks to the form under Pearson and nothing to do with Manning .
  22. There was uncertainty over Pearsons future and a lot of talk about friction between Nige and the board in fairness . HOWEVER , replacing Nige with a rookie based on bugger all was insane ! We have tanked under Manning and I just don’t see any way we’d have performed so badly under Pearson !
  23. Whilst that stat is a positive point , it’s very possible , and arguably likely that we’ll go into the final 7 games on the back of 7 straight defeats and a squad so thin and decimated by injury that we could have only six subs on the bench . Whilst it IS in our hands , we won’t be in great shape approaching them . Lose on Sunday and I fear we could be staring into the abyss !
  24. Looks like we’ll only have six subs on Sunday then !!!
  25. You look at the bottom 3 in the Prem and it really does make you question the point of it all . We spend a fortune watching City but as always with the Championship , the next step up is simply a season of humiliation for those who make it ! It really shouldn’t have been allowed to get this way ! Honestly feel like this Sheff Utd result tonight will have as much bearing on whether I renew my ST or not as City’s “ performances” will !
