That'll be the gaffer's honeymoon period over rather quickly then.

Manning out.

I will boo!!!

When did wes burns turn into a premier league class right winger?!

Poor old Lee J is having his career take on a similar trajectory to his old man.

Might be in the minority here, and probably wouldn't agree if City were in the Prem/subject to VAR, but I love the extra drama and controversy it brings. It's the entertainment business after all.

As someone above alluded to, the managers only tend to chirps, as per, when the decisions go against them. A tale as old as time, whether the decisions are being made by man or machine...

Would make more sense having the standing facing in the other direction, as least they could watch some cricket! 

boob cricket?!

I guess Brighton count for about three, in living memory, straight off the bat, as do the Gas themselves!

Apparently Gloucester City have had the most (14) grounds, the mind boggles.

Manning already doing a Cotts/Nige and signalling to the ownership that he hasn't had enough backing in the transfer market

Sounds like it's got to the point where it'll be to everyone's mutual benefit for a new owner to be installed sooner rather than later.

It's quite hard to disagree with much of that

cant see us scoring today

I've learnt that when someone says this on OTIB we tend to win the game.

Where did the audio go for the final bit, was expecting to hear the big brother thing with the birdsong over the top when they say something the powers that be don't want you to hear

Given Jon's faculties, I'd imagine he's googled "Agents" and is currently getting loads of return calls from Thomas Cook & Lunn Polly! 

Get Away!

After a rigorous process either Eustace turned down BCFC or BCFC ruled out Eustace - I know which I would go for.

What concerns me with Robins is that he was doing well, then he had to sell some key assets but he's spent big, been backed and still doesn't seem to be able to get the best out of his team. 

We're obviously not going to be able to spend, if he were to join us it wouldn't be his team and so why would we do better under his appointment? 

I just don't see it, I think he, like many manager, has had a good spell and like many managers has lost key assets. Unlike Pearson he's been able to recruit players with better finances but has failed to bring in quality players. Pearson on the other hand recruited amazingly well on a shoe string budget, despite having our best player sold for a massive fee. 

I just feel we need someone like Nige, someone who can get the team playing well but is also shrewd when it comes to selling and buying. I don't think that's Robins, in fact I don't think that's any of the managers on the list and I honestly think we may bring in a new manager and really struggle. 

I honestly can't see whoever comes in keeping our playstyle in tact, buying and selling well and maintaining what Pearson has put in place. I think the next appointment won't last more than a year. 

Having watched a fair amount of Cov, the triad of Hamer - O'Hare - Gyokeres ran the show a lot of the the time for them, and unsurprisingly so, I guess. They coped admirably well without one of the three when injured/out of form etc, but the replacements they have, whilst being expensive have not necessarily been of the requisite quality to replace what was lost (albeit O'Hare is on the way back now from his knee). So yes, a failure in recruitment from Robins/Cov, and with McFadzean not getting any younger, and other perfectly serviceable but not stellar Championship players such as Godden & Jay, dare I say Kasey as well, I can't see Cov hitting the heights of last season, or anywhere near.

Really interesting what they said on Sky on Monday night, about the 1 standing/coaching in the technical area, having disproportionately hit Cov. Viveash is a massive 'character' and a real bawler, and it seems to have neutered Cov/Robins with him being forced to take a back seat, quite literally.

So, all in all, would I be excited about Robins heading here...I wouldn't be devastated, but it seems like a side-ways move, and just got that nagging feeling that we should have just kept Nige, for all the expense/time/resource involved in the 'great reset' which really might not be that great after-all.

As a kid I idolised BT, what a legend of a player, and am more than happy to forget his managerial travails. However, he has gone down massively in my estimations to the point of spoiling his legacy so sad when he was an absolute hero of mine and as close to being a player-fan as I thought we could get, adopted as one of our own!!!

To be honest it probably needs to be 'Kit Person' & 'Tea Person' with the move away from gendered language!

Shambles! Everyone is a mate! Kit Manager has a job for life too! Another ex player! Cannot knock what ex players did for the club but where else does this happen, leave them as the superb players they were?! 

Whilst I agree with the tenor of this entire thread, I feel a little more relaxed about the Kit Man having a job for life.

They have spent big money on some utter dross. Perhaps a better manager when there isn't cash to flash. 

Getting rid of Nige is one thing, but does history suggest that we will replace him with someone better...do we have a track record of 'kicking on' when we are mid table in the Championship...
