  1. I enjoyed it but I think there was stuff that was plain wrong! We all must know we were sold a pup on the basis of Pearson’s sacking. But the inference that his leg issue was an overwhelming reason is just plain propaganda wrapped up in excuses for this idiocy.
  2. The club is pretty sophisticated in some ways, like most in the championship. There are lists of players that are updated constantly. This I am informed applies to managers and coaches. For the firing of Pearson his team and hiring of Manning to have taken place that quickly he must have been top of the list and obviously already identified. (I’ll brush over the scumbaggery that went along with it in which JL and BT were front and center) I just hope the new bloke is already identified and the laughably called board of directors are tapping him up as we speak!
  3. This is true! The decision makers are Junior and Tinman. They get the nod from the old man when required and the other bloke counts the money. Board of Directors not so much!
  4. Not sure how many minutes I’ve seen him, however they were really not great ones. To be anywhere near our worse signing at this level (loan or otherwise) he would really need to go some form here. Never the less Mbudes Splinter could be my next screen name!
  5. You think it would make it worse? Blimey!
  6. I think it’s a matter of who you listen to! There was plenty of stuff being said by those that knew him before and after his he sacking. But yes I very much believe there was a clash of personalities!
  7. The ball so often goes backwards in an attempt to maintain possession. However the ball will often end back with Max who will end up being forced to larrrup it. This will result in a battle for the ball or a throw in. In turn conceding the ball. The net result of playing this way is the inevitability of giving the ball away with little sensible service to the forwards. It is agony to watch a team with some very decent players being turned into rubbish, while simultaneously hearing that it’s the players fault or the latest one coming from club sources the players are not good enough ….If that is the case Pearson was a way better manager than given credit for, as he was playing U18 and U21s…Seven in the match day squad for Cardiff because our injuries were so bad The whole thing is just effing nonsense! And I am bloody sick of it!
  8. I certainly agree with what you say by and large. Pearson clearly wasn’t that struck on Mehmeti and rarely played him. Mr Manning on the other hand likes him! Our recruitment in this last window was bizarre. For a team with play off aspirations and a top six squad we added three kids and a bloke with a sick note. Its funny watching a certain podcast we had comments about this group of players not being good enough, however only four months ago some were telling us that Pearson was not getting enough out of them and was rightly fired. The point is this here a lot of that rhetoric appears to be emanating from within the club! Knight and TGH IMO have suffered under manning ball. Cornick can never find any form, the only outfield player in the squad that has obviously improved under Mr Manning is Dickie. I wouldn’t give Mr Manning anything except a road map out of Bristol tomorrow morning. Hopefully SL is starting conversations to do just that. But probably not likely.
  9. That is the problem there is no change Same possession based football, same subs at the same times. He does not seem to have the ability to alter his way of playing before ko and during the game! I don’t think it’s a matter of he won’t change it’s more a matter of he can’t! If I was SL I’d be fuming at what junior and BT have done. Firing Manning and his team if autometrons is going to cost a bloody fortune and then who are you going to get in. The technical director is the only football man left. If you fire him you have to have a plan in place We are in an utter nonsensical gut wrenching position for no good reason.
  10. The issue with the time off was we were relying on players who were semi fit or in the U18/U21 squads and a few stalwarts. OLeary Dickie and Vyner come to mind. They did need the time off! The fact JL made those statements was much more of an indictment of Tinnion who was sadly putting shit like that inside his head to say. Now the three mentioned above definitely need the time off. The rest of them as I said above need to get away from this bloke. Far far away for as long as possible and hopefully when they get back he’s gone!
  11. Knight at times has been our best player, I guess that’s why he’s been captain. But at the moment he looks off it! McCrorie. Who knows. The bloke has had some horrible disease. I guess we can’t judge until next season. Gardner-Hickman looked great until a few weeks after Manning arrived. The bloke is currently going through the motions Mehmeti. He’s had a few flashes and the odd goal but….. Most wouldn’t care if he was in the squad or not. IMO Dickie. Brilliant signing Cornick has never got going. I’m not sure where he even fits if anywhere Who knows about the others mentioned
  12. Dull is an understatement for our current team of top six under performers. Are we dull as a club. Yeah I think so. Even Jose Marinhio commented that he would threaten to send players to Bristol City!
  13. I believe Mr Manning has said they will get extra time off over the coming days! (Yes we all get the irony) Personally I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The more the bloke is around them on the training ground the less competent they become as a team. We can hope that Mr Manning is relieved in the next few days and the senior pros can take the training. However I very much doubt that and so JL and SL will keep doubling down on this guy! But hey their money their choice….My money my choice too!
  14. I’m not sure Bristol Sport is that big a deal to me. After all they brought the Rugby to AG and I don’t have a problem with that. However the nuttiness that surrounded the firing of Steve Cotterill was when I first thought there is something seriously wrong. UnLike Ipswich this season who really kicked on, we didn’t. The acrimony between Cotterill and Lansdown was pretty obvious at the time and has been commented on many times! The odd employment of LJ and the my money my choice statement further fueled the increasing sense of division. The appointment of Holden, and the constant ramblings of Swiss Tony deepened the divide until the board of directors/ ownership had dug us a deep hole. Enter one of the few men Steve Lansdown has employed that knew what he was doing to try and dig us out. Who he would inevitably fire! Just when we were showing huge progress and the supporters were behind it we find ourselves without a competent CEO and the promotion of certain individuals to make shit decisions again! Culminating in this bullshit. It’s little wonder the natives are restless! We are now without competent leaders at every level of the club!
