We are in quite the pickle, really, aren't we. 

Owner, Chairman, DoF & Manager all completely bloody useless. 

indeed we are which is why we need someone who knows what they are doing somewhere, but we dont like that approach  so pickle it is

15 from 10, to 8 from 10.

4 wins from 10 to 2 wins from 10.

put like that,it is worrying,next stop would be 0 wins from 10

This is exactly what Aberdeen have done with Warnock and it’s been an absolute disaster for them. They have a decent squad that should be aiming for third, but are possibly heading to a relegation battle.

A big reason for this, that’s been given by those ITK is that the players aren’t really listening to a word he says, as they know he’s not going to be there long-term.

i dont think you have fully read my post. players wouldnt be listening to him as they would be listening to manning with colin sat in his office. colin is there as a full blown manager, i didnt suggest that

if we could get someone like warnock or mccarthy in for 6 months in a new role such as head of all playing operations to teach bt and manning the basics then let him stay and give him a chance,same with bt but if he wont acknowledge he too is out of his depth then they both need to be replaced as a unit either for a manager or 2 experienced individuals who can execute their roles properly

They went to league one due to their ownership and lack of investment, they were on the verge of administration,

They are in this position now due to new ownership and investment

thankyou for correcting me i dont know much about footy other than results,happy to admit that but it dont half look familiar, to me anyway

But I think Liam thinks emotion had something to do with it.

 

someone needs to get an emotional sweaty sock and stick it in his mouth

it keeps being mentioned how we are copying brentford/luton etc. its just dawned on me what is happening.

a few years ago ipswich were rock steady mid-lower championship with a hand tied mick macarthy holding things together. never had any money to spend.  sound familiar??  then they decided to twist, its working a treat now but they went back to league one for a bit

The level of work rate shown feels more important than points for me tonight, even with only being 6 points off the drop.

If the boys aren't willing to run through brick walls after the last few performances, I'll be very worried about where we're heading under Manning.

going to see some top drawer performances tonight against a team hoping to be prem next season. might not win but players know there will be eyes on this match

i liken him to wiggy but wiggy could be any of the 3 of them depending on which sketch you are watching.

click click click, 'is that it?'

i will go and help him, i will show him the skysports article  from antoine and tell him to let everyone else do the same at what they are best at.

we just dont have a squad of all rounders who can switch to this,that or the other style of play

part of the article, so simple to understand i dont get why the coaches cant see it

A handful more appearances for Bristol City followed before another loan spell, this time at Sunderland in League One until he finally broke into the first team. Then Nigel Pearson arrived. Semenyo smiles at that name.

"I had a bit of a cagey start with him. I wasn't really playing much and as a player you're like, 'Why am I not playing?'. He just said your best ability is running and shooting so all you need to do is run and shoot!

"There was a lot of direct football and I blossomed off that. I played in a front three with Andreas Weimann and Chris Martin and that year was one of the best of my career."

Nigel is a top top guy and what we did to him was a joke. Club made a the biggest mistake in a long long time. 

he is indeed and still wants us to get behind our team. pure class

if the next game did trigger another year, who would be avoiding it the most? does matty james even want to stay here? ive got my doubts about a few players now the transfer window has gone

I think Manning motivates opponents better than our players.  Two weeks ago, I had Ipswich planted right in the playoffs if they were lucky; there were comparisons between Manning & McKenna being cut from the same cloth.  Now the bastards are on a run and second in the League, and McKenna will be using Mannings's "Why won't the players do what I tell them to do, sob!!" as motivation laughing his tits off at the constant iterations of "step up", "leaders on the pitch", "little moments of quality" and my personal favourite "taking responsibility"

How would I motivate the players? I would stop talking, and say something like its not acceptable and stop.  I'd let Tommy be Tommy and I'd stop over complicating it, wind it back a few games to what was going well. 

if i was manning id pull a sicky and send a text to them saying just go out and enjoy yourselves, ignore brian, and set up how you want.

Not just called out on air fella but referred to as “your mate Dave Fevs” to Headhunter.

One of the major faults of Manning is he has come and tried to change the team straight away with both positions and style.

A decent manager/head coach would look at what he has and would try to implement he's ideas over time, gradually changing the ethos and tactics over a time scale.

is this him or tinnion asking him to do it.

how come in the days of norman hunter etc,a player lasted 90 minutes with just 1 sub if someone got broken?

flip me,things are worse than i thought, this was on page 3    bump
