    It’s the best long form football content in the world atm. Nothing comes close 

    It’s a brilliant watch on YouTube. 
     

    I could watch the ‘unscripted’ bit before it actually starts for hours. I have quite enjoyed the last two without Jamie Carragher.

    It's a bit odd, and at times like this any little thing can be jumped on for laughs at the clubs expense but I'm not massively furious at us helping Zak out with some t-shirts.

    I'm also really fed up with Fever Pitch. If that is what Jon wants to do then he should go and do it. Resign from the NINE City/Bears/BS boards that he's on and go and devote his time and attention to what he clearly actually wants to do. He could stay on as an observer on our boards if Steve needs "eyes on the ground", but get away from a body making decisions that you're clearly not investing full time and energy in.

    I imagine all the contracts between City and Fever Pitch are properly negotiated at arms length and the Board do market research to make sure they're getting the best value for money...right?

    I don’t think Fever Pitch are an actual company. I think they are essentially a department within Bristol Sport, made to look like it’s our agency to make Jon feel better about himself.

     I do wonder who is actually making this product, would it still be O’Neils?

    That’s good. It’s obvious that Walker and almost definitely Maguire will be in the squad, so makes sense to try Lewis. He’s got great potential so would rather have him in the squad ahead of lots of the filler players Southgate insists on calling up.

    I see the Trafford the Burnley keeper has been bought in too, who they signed from Man City. Being at Burnley will skew it a bit, but he’s supposed to be very good isn’t he?

    He’s generally been awful in the PL whenever I’ve seen him. He looks weak and teams just get a big man next to him and pop the ball in there.

    Hes still very young for a keeper. I thinks he’s gone up the leagues too quickly (LG1 to PL). I guess as he’s already around the camp, it makes sense to bring him to have a better look.

    Hmmmm. Have you had a whisper about Scott Davidson coming back on board?  He had a passion for the club rather than the money.

    Would he have the funds? Football is a bigger beast from when he was last involved.

    A really entertaining episode thank you.

    As respected as a journalist Latham may be his views on Lansdown and Manning were certainly not aligned with mine. Manning may well be “a lovely guy” but that doesn’t make him a competent Championship manager or coach. 

    Whilst he slightly challenged the lack of investment from the Scott sale the lack of any analysis of Lansdown’s failure was a bit jarring. Trying to back Lansdown with a “where would City be without the Lansdowns?” and that we’d be like the Gas was odd. Who knows where we’d be without them, we may well be doing better not necessarily worse. Calling out the “be careful what you wish for” line was also eye rolling; again, it doesn’t mean it will be worse than it is now. The only fact here is we won’t know until it happens. 

    His statement that “Brian Tinnion is the most important person at the club” was rather concerning too! 

    A lack of reviewing a perspective of Lansdown being a huge part of the problem was really surprising; as was Chris Honour broadly going along with Latham’s statements. 

    As a comparison, Piercy did a superb job of giving a balanced assessment on last weeks SOTC. 

    The host (David) did a good job of challenging the alternative perceptions though, well done! 

    They weren’t even aligned with his own views.

    Doesnt like having a director of football in post….Tinnion is the most important person at the club.

    Doesnt like the sideways/backwards passing, wants 442….would be happy if Manning is here in 3 years.

    The bloke is well post it and should have retired a while ago, or at least moved with the times.

    Credit must be given to Sean O’Driscoll and Amy Kington for getting the Cat 2 status in the first place. That was the foundation of what we see now. 
    Amy led the whole project for the initial Cat 2 application and audit. SOD (although much maligned) helped massively with this too with significant input. 
    Amy’s comments in the video below tell you exactly how we got to where we are today. The work put into this 11-12 years ago is what we are seeing the fruition of now. 
    Yes, Tinnion then later became responsible for the pathway between 18’s and 21’s to the first team, but the foundation was very much credited to Amy and her team (with the help of SOD too)  

    apologies for Jonboy on the vid too!! 

     

     

    Jeez, what a difference in communication (Amy, not Jon) to Tinnion or anyone else at the club.

    Why was she not kept on? She’s done some really good work with young people since leaving City.

  8. "This has been a long process, this hasn't happened overnight. This probably started with Brian Tinnion, who is now our technical director," Bristol City player pathway manager Trevor Challis told BBC Sport.

    Its just so transparent.

    It says we want to be a Cat 1 academy but both Jon Lansdown and Tinnion have said we haven’t. They just get a consistent message on anything.

    Not available anymore - have you got some new links please?
    Or a link to the actual seller.
    Thanks

    The seller had no feedback and it’s been taken off his listings. It’s quite hard to sell stuff on eBay if you’re not authorised.

    Is it just me who hasn't received any communicatuon for season tickets renewals? I get most/all of the other e-mails but I haven't received anything and I know I have in the past.

    I am holding off for now, there are 6 games between now and the deadline so I definitely wont be renewing until after those games.

    I will probably renew but this is the first time in close to 30 years I feel like I'm just not that bothered. The only problem is that if Manning goes the four or five people involved in getting him here are still going to be around so it doesn't guarantee anything will change.

    Ironically, mine went straight into my junk folder.

    Being serious for a moment, if you can be serious re a Roy tweet, I heard there were mumblings of discontent pre-Swansea.  However I bet they were all patting each other on the back last Sunday.  But this one won’t go away.

    Discontent between whom, Dave?

    We keep hearing Liam Nothing (sorry Manning) say how he’s always trying to make sure the players take the emotion out of the game. 
     

    I don’t like this approach. Emotion is part of football. Sometimes it can affect you poorly but in my experience it can also have as much of a positive effect than a negative one. 
     

    I actually WANT to see my team playing WITH emotion. Not without it. 
     

    I’ve really had enough of this bloke. 
     

    We also hear him say “at half time we spoke about how we might think about how to engage higher”. 
    No no no!! It’s your effing job to TELL them how to engage higher. Not have a polite feckin conversation about it. 
     

    Enough. Honestly. 

    Exactly. 
    Take the emotion out of the players, then don’t expect the fans to get emotional and make noise.

    Liverpool winning in Istanbul is a perfect example of emotion winning you the game.

    You sure you’re not Tinnion?

    It was 3-1..

    What do you expect? This’ll be a question in the quiz held during the official 20 year anniversary dinner.
