last i heard was he is feeling much better pops,

corrected for you

did anyone see rooney on the telly tonight? asked if he wanted to get back into management. his reply was yes but hes going to take a few months off work and enjoy himself. they arent like us,a week or two off here and there,they can afford to take however long off they want, in Nigels case, i hope he doesnt return to football, he doesnt deserve some of the shit he gets,and certainly not from anyone with anything to do with bcfc from top to bottom,he gave it everything he could

he knows how a lot of us feel or felt at at the time

dont know if he does read otib tbh RR,

perhaps the lansdowns made her shit itch as much as they do mine

he is absolutely 100% a people person. i dont know if it was an act or nerves the way he came across in earlier interviews but i do know,he wouldnt lie to you, and he certainly wouldnt be abrasive as he cares about our feelings as much as his own

is C the equivalent of panicking after managing to get shot of Nige saying 'look at oxford,they are doing well,manning must be good,lets grab him' with no more thought than that other than tinnion saying he could show manning how its done in the championship?

he must have been involved in conversations leading up to it to be ready to take on the roles he did. nige was blocking his path to any sort of promotion so any input from tinnion on how they would do things would lean towards sacking pearson even if he didnt actually say 'hes got to go' i think he would have been angling towards it.

would i walk back into a job, resettle my family and lifestyle knowing full well there was even more chance of being shat on than the last. i dont think so and i dont think Nige would either.

send tinnion and manning on a scouting mission to the north pole for a few months

hard

he did that for the fans because believe it or not, they play an important part in his teams,and he cares about them too. something else a few people should also take note of

any manager with enough experience would know how to contact Nige and ask what its like down here. given the fact that Nige isnt a liar,, any such new bloke would have to absolutely love bcfc ie warnock or be skint

and he did it largely by trusting his staff and not interfering,

see how easy i corrected your post

its only my opinion but i firmly believe we would have been there or thereabouts at the end of the season, the players were busting a gut to try and get results, they arent now

thats a fair and valid comment which works both sides of the fence

when nige came in, he was given a rusty chassis,a pile of parts,some rotten tyres and an engine that didnt run. took him 2 years to rebuild it using second hand parts and some new wheels. all it needed was the shiny paint job to finish it. he managed to get it primed so it didnt rust again but couldnt afford the top coat. unfortunately,he couldnt drive it for a little while so city got a new driver who had just passed his test, knows his highway code but no experience in judging the length and width of it so slowly it is getting knocked and bumped,the trackings out and no real mechanic on board should it break down, only a matter of time before it gets consigned to the scrap heap again.

i think we might secure safety from these fixtures,against the top teams, then revert to type for the end of season run in

you know it and i know it, digging in is what will happen, so long as manning sucks tinnion and tinnion sucks jon,,alls rosey at HQ. fwiw,i think some recent performances may be down to players wanting away or something. why bother trying to sell yourself to anyone watching us against s weds or qpr, tear saints a new one or match forest,you will get noticed. if they have any ambition,they will know prem football isnt coming their way anytime soon if they stay here now whereas 5 months ago,there was every chance of success on the horizon

brilliant post,now go read your DM i sent you please.

no probs at all mate

its not your comment, its the thought of the fans giving him a hard time. i find it amusing and thoroughly deserved.

send him back, save the wages for next season
