Sadly them selling I believe is the only way for the club to be successful going forward.

I'm in the same camp as you, very aware I'm in a small minority, willing to give manning the summer, however the negativity is something I can't recall for a long time, sadly its just the way the world is these days.

I can see we will never agree on anything haha. However these beans you have sound interesting

I feel his lack of games could be manning protecting him. If we are losing games it makes sense to bring him on the try and make things happen, sadly atm if he brings him on and doesn't do that then fans will be on his back straight away. As was the case when he came on and gave the ball away a few times.

Of course that's completely fair to take the good and the bad. Just in that moment I think he lost his composure, which I think is fine. I just think some of the criticism of Tinnion has been really over the top recently.

Sounded annoyed to me especially when Richard Hoskins suggested £2m for Rob Dickie when it was actually £600k, It must be annoying when you work your hardest for a club and just get criticised constantly by some fans ( I have no opinion on if tinnion is out of his depth or deserves the job ) But none of us (unless we have contacts ) have any idea of what is going behind the scenes its all just speculation.

Be good for him to go and get some games. showed promise under Pearson.

could we arrange an applause or sing scottys name around the ground on sunday maybe on the 7th minute ?

Donated. Scotty has done so much for lots of people hopefully this goes a little way of showing him everyone is with him and his family. Thoughts are with him and his family

I actually do agree with you here, I made the suggestion just based off what the club have said about what they want from a coach young upcoming coach.....But Williamson is slightly different to manning where he has played and at a decent level, The Lampards and Rooneys not a chance i would want them near our club. Michael Duff is a great suggestion.

Mike Williamson at MK Dons.

Of course I agree that he should be flexible, and get the best out of his players. However he wants us to be a possession based team, we have never been that. In the summer I expect players to come in that can improve us as a possession based team. Anyway like you say this is the matchday thread I don't want to keep debating Manning, I said I think we will get a result tonight or at least a battling performance.

I am obviously not talking about the last 3 games we have been shocking, but I don't think that is all down to manning personally I think the players look knackered which is understandable with how many games we have had recently (same as everyone i know ) but before these games we have looked dangerous in attacking areas we just have not been able to score I think we have looked better defensivley and more organised, obviously we should be beating teams down the bottom but that's how we have always been. We brought Twine in to be that player that can unlock sides and he's got injured ( Obviously injuries is another debate we could have but not starting that ) so Manning knows what we need he just needs the time. Obviously this is just my opinion I know I'm in a very small minority but I would rather get behind the guy than constantly slating him.

Sorry Silvio I disagree, there are players who aren't up to playing the way he wants those need to either not be in the squad or leave......He can't do that right now . There is never anything wrong with anyone believing in what they are doing....Obviously for the fans to believe in it we need to see results and performances that fit what he's saying....I have seen signs of it but obviously not enough. What is the alternative to sacking Manning ? What do you want the club to do right now ? and who comes in to replace him ? because if somebody new comes in he would need time to assess what he's got or get us to the end of the season at least and someone new in again in the summer. That is also a gamble.

Will be typical city to go and get a result tonight. I am fully behind Manning currently he needs a summer to get in what he needs.....However that said things appear to be turning toxic and a loss tonight and Sundays game is not going to be good.

Bloody hell fair play.

It is where I am.

I'm in yate, have to get to the ground early today for mascot and hospitality package going to attempt to get off my drive soon

Loads of it here in yate, sounds like there hasn't been any in ashton bedminster way so fingers crossed it goes ahead.

Excited for this game, my son and nephew are mascots, they are buzzing already and its only Tuesday, Hopefully we get the result, things are going to turn if we don't (Not that i think things should ) Manning needs time and needs his own players to play the way he wants.

Doing the tour at some point this year,let me know what its like, We are going to the Brazil game too.

Love this Dave what an experience. You are right it was really well done.

Thanks for advice i will get him something for the players to sign, we did a stadium tour of old trafford ( Brother-in-law is a united fan) they got the kids to walk out the tunnel with the music playing my lad was buzzing and that was in an empty stadium so god knows what he is going to be like at our ground when its full. Glad your daughter enjoyed it. I'm sure it will be a memory she will never forget

Yes we are doing this for the Cardiff game my lad and my nephew are mascots, they both can't wait, hoping it won't be too much for them and they've both been going to games for a while now

All I ask every game is the players give 100%. what do I expect every season in terms of positions in the league I think realistically we should be top half Lansdown is a small fish in HUGE pond these days if you compare to the clubs coming down we just can't compete with those clubs.
