One of my team in work said he was thinking of moving to Birmingham so couldn’t do the three days a week in the office and if was made to do so would need to be compensated with a travel allowance. Response was he could live wherever he wanted, that’s his choice. But he has to be in the office three days a week and at his own expense. Guess the same theory applies to your support of city. Great you have a season ticket and show such commitment, but you choose to live in London. Why should that be treated differently to anyone living 5 mins away?

The trouble with the Ipswich blueprint is a certain Mark Ashton! Again, questions need to be asked as to how he is driving the Ipswich charge, yet was nearly leading us to financial ruin.

Ha, fair enough. I’m with you on that one. I was picturing robes.

Why do I have an image of statues of Tinnion and Manning dressed as Greek gods, with Pearson on his hands and knees bowing before them???

You’ve had their response, increased season ticket prices!

I posted a clip on her of Paul Merson talking about Pearson’s sacking on soccer Saturday following. They couldn’t believe it. Not a direct quote but he basically said Pearson had Scott sold and not given any funds to replace him or rebuild. It was madness.

Say this is true, what would be expectation in those 8 games be? 3 wins with the same performance as against Swansea? 5 defeats but each one is attacking, exciting 5-4 losses? And do we think the noise around season tickets might force their hand?

So who caved in on day 1 then???

Careful, might upset the happy clappers

To be fair, not a bad little promo video if you take it at face value. Luckily we know better.

After Tinnion said himself last week you can’t compare us to Coventry, you think Robins would happily walk away from them to join us…

“And to think I could be in the premier league next season…”

Apart from Rotherham I can’t see any other wins this season.

It’s not just the amount of money we spend, it’s the value for money we get. If we had spent £200k on a striker who scored 25+ goals a season, the amount we spent wouldn’t matter. Problem is we seem to have our pants pulled down paying over the odds for bang average players. McCorie was unlucky with his health, we will see next season if that was £2m well spent. Knight is a bit hit and miss for me. I think the amount of energy he put in earlier in the season is starting to show. The rest of the signings still have huge question marks against them with the exception of Dickie who represents the best value for money.

Are there worse clubs than us since this managerial set up was put in place? Maybe one for everyone’s favourite stato @Davefevs but if anyone can be bothered to do a league table based on if the season had started with Manning’s first game it would be interesting.

Mentioned in the matchday thread this was being sung. Anyone there confirm this? How long/loud was it sung? Good to hear fans voicing their feelings, especially in the week season ticket prices were announced. SL, JL, BT and LM have been given far too easy a ride for me liking.

My easy answer to this is I’m not going

If you think the feeling towards the club are all based on West Brom then there isn’t really much to say… However, these are the teams BT and JL fully believe we are able to compete with, so no excuses!

Clown

If this is what you base things on then I recommend not looking at the Swansea stats last week!

Would still run rings around Manning in the coaching stakes

2-0 down for 15 mins now and still no changes???

All too familiar and predictable unfortunately. But all is not lost, we are in the U18 cup semi final

11.03.2024… At least date stamp the quote please!

What a game that was. As critical as many of us are over Pearson sacking/Manning’s appointment, a few years ago Robins was heavily linked to us but was not a popular choice with fans. Am I right in thinking he was Lansdown’s preferred choice at the time?
