  1. If the plan now is to get rid of the older more experienced fans, then I can see it being a remarkable success.
  2. You too, sorry if I woke you from a nap.
  3. Actually it would be to their credit to say, 'We accept and regret that it simply hasn't worked.' Other Championship clubs have taken decisive action in an attempt to limit damage and get fans back on side. They would have been embarrassed too but they knew it needed to be done and didn't shirk a difficult decision. When something's not working the sooner the situation is rectified the better - in this case for LM too imo. They may well be embarrassed, as they should be, but that embarrassment and discomfort will only increase the longer they leave it. Take the bull by the horns and put everyone out of their misery, no club should settle for the sort of stability LM brings which is rapidly emptying the stands.
  4. As a fit for Bristol City it's hard to imagine they could have made a worse choice. On that basis any subsequent appointment must at least be an improvement.
  5. Agree. Even if the results start improving his style of football is unwatchable.
  6. It's not like the old days, with CCTV they will quite happily chuck out those seen to be overly venting their feelings and ban agitators. I've just heard an advert on the radio for listeners to buy tickets for forthcoming City games, proclaiming it to be the 'perfect family day out'. That's what they want and that's it's come to - the rest of us passionate fans 'who want them to listen' are a bit of an incovenience that can be sorted out with the passage of time.
  7. The first priority imo is to get Manning out. I'd prefer NW to the end of the season - no longer - rather than Manning. Perhaps it was meant to be, if only very short term. The chances are remote to nil though, especially as relegation is not a great concern. What comes next is a secondary consideration to me at this stage. Manning has to go. We'll have breathing space to think about it and hopefully decision makers have learnt their lesson and will make a far more suitable appointment. Meanwhile In house most likely to see out the season and Andy King would do nicely.
  8. Definitely still in Clifton CA. He moved house a couple of years ago, but stayed in Clifton.
  9. But even more so if they don't sack him. The longer they leave it the worse it gets for them, us and the club. It would actually be in their favour to hold their hands up, humbly admit it hasn't worked, and give a new man time to set up his squad for next season. With the 2 week break no better time to do the deed than tonight imo. Might make at least a few of 4-5k STH's rethink about deserting the club too.
  10. I think the ST renewal figures will shock them so much they'll be forced to take action, however red-faced it makes them.
  11. I have, on both counts, but there's a cumulative effect from numerous past boardroom cock-ups and for many yet another kick in the goolies with the sacking of NP to be replaced by LM feels like the final passion killing straw. As things stand that's exactly how I feel tonight.
  12. Well, I'm saying the sooner Manning threads can be moved to the Ex-players and managers forum (that barely anyone wanted, reads or contributes to) because he's been sacked, the better. I was addressing it, fairly lightheartedly, to the poster who specifically asked for the new forum. Is that a problem Phants?
