REDOXO

We have a supporter in London Ontario! We actually do!

If Steve could fess up for the occasional airline ticket. That would be nice!

Port Vale?

I wasn’t just referring to you!

More than possible David. However I’m not sure the epiphany wasn’t a bit of a two way street. JL What am I going to do with my life dad? SL Yeah what are you going to do with your life? SL Thinks….. I know I’ll give you that football club, perhaps they’ll like you more! I’ll let Brian know!

We certainly do have an anal head coach!

Some good points among some nonsense. My thought for a while (and stated before) is JL has been handed the club as something to do. Major decisions are ran by papa but, JL needs experience as one day he will be at the helm of dads empire. Just a fact! What better way to get experience than to piss off thousands of people by making shit decisions on your learning curve. The firing of The CEO, Pearson, his team and the promoting of BT to Technical Director are horror decisions. Yes probably ran by pop, but he’s on his own! If you are SL, JL is a lot easier to take ******* up Bristol Sport and learning something, than slopping around on a yacht!

I agree regarding the potential. However Mr Manning is strangling the life out of that too! He wants to bring in his own players and block the pathway. I so wish I had never heard this man’s name!

Mannng has turned one of the best strikers in the division and certainly a player that had a shot at the Euros. Into a **** no chance nothing! I look forward to Tommy’s autobiography’s Mannng was a **** section!

One of those BJs would be good! Occasionally!

The golden rule of draws is ensure to avoid all looks of impropriety! However I’m sure Matt’s win was on the up n up! I did start to write and tell them not a chance I’m renewing until I can see a way forward. But thought better of it. Sometimes silence really is golden.

I don’t need to look at win result stats that are skewed by non availability. I can see what’s in front of me! FYI for those that are unclear. You are watching very poor football, with little attacking intent from a team that was lorded as a top half team! My personal opinion is under the right manager with decentish availability they could very well be up there and chasing a playoff place like Mr L junior and Mr Tinnion implied. However under this utterly useless man and his cohorts we are a fringe relegation ‘challenger’ that plays in front of empty stadiums, because season ticket holders can not be arsed to show up! Hope that helps someone!

The golden hello is built in to promotion obviously Parachute payments need to be far less with money distributed among the otherclubs IMO. However as much as webitch about the the money, the same disparity is becoming obvious between championship and league one.

I will be hitting the ignore this topic button. I suggest anyone sane does the same!

Don’t move it!! It is actually a good question! I was bloody furious after Leeds at home. We were awful all over the pitch, but at that point apologists for this shitshow were still making excuses. Parachute payments blah blah as if their parachute payments were an excuse for a pathetic performance by us. City played well enough against Southampton, but it gets forgotten they could comfortably have been two up before we scored. I personally think he would still be here now if they had beaten us back then as the same excuses would have been trotted out back then. But he and possibly Tinman would be a game closer to the tin tack. However I think a largish defeat against Leicester will be enough!

Mmm!

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.

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!

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!

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!

You think it would make it worse? Blimey!

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!

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!

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.
