  1. I think that any new coach/manager would experience a significant negative reaction given how popular NP had become. We'd turned a corner. We'd reduced the wage bill and we were still in a position where we could challenge for the play offs. What was the logical reasoning behind sacking the manager? It had to be personal. Nige was old school. Lansdown wanted 'forward thinking'. It wasn't about top 6 or playing styles. Nige didn't kiss ass. Tinnion sold his soul and spoke up for the owners. Fans no longer trust him. Manning appears to be LJ2. Fans don't want this. Until the Lansdowns admit failure and sell the fans will never believe again.
  2. We don't have to accept anything. I don't accept that Manning is a better manager than Pearson. I don’t accept that we have a better chance of promotion under an untried, inexperienced lower division manager than under a manager who has got a team promoted to the Premier league. I don't accept that players will buy into Mannings style of play. I don't accept that the Lansdowns know how to run a football club. I don't and WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY OF THIS UNTIL STEVE LANSDOWN SELLS OUR CLUB
  3. This. First game in 66. Season ticket holder for years until Lee Johnson. Done my time. I might have come back next season for a Pearson/investment push but that's not going to happen now. Johnsons out
  4. Whilst I totally accept what you say Dicks had the benefit of a top class coach in Sillett who worked with the squad day to day while Dicks was more of a manager in the "old school' definition of the word. Totally agree with Cooper who took us from rock bottom though.
  5. We've lost the best manager we've ever had. Should have been given a new contract and money to spend in January. The squad were overachieving but they played for him. Just ask a Leicester City fan why they won the Premier League. A ******* travesty
  6. This. Absolutely. Nothing else. We had a football man managing our team. A man who'd been there, done it, bought the t-shirt and had the squad 100% behind him. He'd got the fans on side despite some bad times and had us punching above our weight whilst reducing the wage bill ...........but that wasn't enough for a clown of an owner who hasn't a clue how to run a football club and his cosseted child. Fuqing Lansdowns out!!
  7. Do yourselves a favour. Have a fiver on us going down because there's more chance of that than top six. Utter bollox from the owners to replace Nige when they did. They don't deserve anything less than failure
  8. The ghost of Bristol City past has come to haunt us. Same shite, different coach
  9. Next week, how to nail a jelly to the ceiling
  10. My grandad travelled up for this match but was unable to get in. Allegedy climbed a wall and could see part of the pitch so watched the game from the wall. Just wish he'd got me a programme.
  11. To be known as Bernard Manning from now on?
  12. Frank will be announced in a press conference tomorrow. We will become Frank Lampard's Bristol City. Steve L will be gurning like a simpleton. Frank will describe us as 'sleeping giants' and a Premier League club in waiting. Frank will be paraded on the pitch before Saturday's game with the family Lansdown sitting in the stand basking in their new found notoriety. Jon will get a new set of crayons.
  13. Totally agree but what experienced, proven manager is going to come here and be told that his Director of Football is a nobody who had a decent left foot and had one stab at management and completely screwed it up but then brown nosed his way to a position of power and oversaw the sacking of a manager who built a Premier league winning squad and was the most popular manager we'd had for years?
  14. As he was as a manager. Stick to loaning out reserves. Shouldn't be allowed anywhere near decision making regarding the best head coach.
  15. Oh you are mate. Stand down soldier, it's been a tough few days
  16. Nobody seems to have mentioned Chris Hughton..........wasn't that long ago he was being lauded by all and sundry. How quickly things change
  17. Way I see it is that he's a businessman trying to run a football club with no idea how to and trying to make it run like his businesses do. He hasn't got the feel for a football club. He doesn't appoint football experts around him and consult them. I know Tins has done a decent job with youths/loans but he's not exactly top class. Pearson was old school and took no sh1t from anyone. It was only ever going to end one way after he spoke out about lack of communication from above. Yes, he deserves a new contract but it wasn't going to happen.
