I know the league form and results have been sketchy at best however, our cup performances have really looked good. If Manning can replicate those performances in the league we will do well. Though reading a lot of comments on here about being out of hid depth, he won't see the season out, how long till he gets sacked. These are all comments I have read this week.

At 51 years old I struggle to change my socks these days.

"If watching City really pisses you off that much, you can always go and watch the sags. You wont be missed." That is not calling anyone a sag. Just saying that there is another option locally to watch football if watching City pisses someone off that much.

Yep but the post stands as written. IMO Manning has taken a huge amount of flack on here. It's easy to see if you pay attention ( not a dig). Yes he is trying to find the teams style and identity and it's a little hit and miss atm but he needs time. We are safe this season, NP has gone and nothing can change that. I personally ( as I have commented on several occasions) don't think the football was any better under NP ( how many games did we throw away in injury time from sitting back?) Yes there were some signs of improvement this year but I really think the board had made their decision about letting him go back before the summer ( lack of transfer support would indicate this) and once made I dont think they were ever going to go back on it.

You cant educate an idiot.

Dude, he called me gas ffs. Learn to read.

Yes, you can go and watch them. You wont be missed.

We wish you were.

and yet are second in the table on a great run and looking to go straight back up.

I should add, would I have sacked NP...no. Would I have renewed his contract...no. None of that is on Manning though and I can see the pattern of play that he is trying to achieve. Under NP we soaked up pressure and NEVER looked comfortable in the last ten minutes. We would sit back and back and would let the oppo score. At least under Manning we try and play (it does not always work YET) Oh and Leeds squad is worth 5 times ours, so get a grip with the Leeds shite.

I really feel that that are a lot on here ( from reading their posts) who want Manning to fail just so it backs up their view that NP should not have been sacked.

Manning has got loads on here. If you dont see that then you are as biased as the rest. People earlier commenting on how they hoped Eustice would not take the Blackburn job so he could take over here when Manning is sacked.

I've never seen so many people moan as I have since manning took charge. Some of the flack he has took is a joke. New to this standard and club it would always take a bit of time. We have put good performances in the cup and if we can replicate that in the league we will do well. Watford away was outstanding and today was also pretty spot on from the small part i watched ( I was working today) I really think that people are giving him the flack for decisions that are beyond his control (NP sacking). We are safe this season, so just sit back, shut the fck up and lets see what happens in August. EDIT Oh and if you want to slag me off for daring to see things different, go ahead. I could not give a shit. If watching City really pisses you off that much, you can always go and watch the sags. You wont be missed.

No worries

Not really as all I said was that I imagine the manager would probably be in charge of who we sign. Ignorance would be you thinking you know any better.

Probably but a "recommendation" still puts the ball in Nige's course to decide. I personally wouldn't judge that window anyway as there was no money to spend until AS was sold. Cornick was a gamble and Anis on paper could have been cracking signing. I was just answering TV Tom's question.

I'm ready for it. Lots of rose tinted glasses incoming.

Nige I would imagine as he was manager.

The good thing is that I'm only gutted about losing Pring ( though would be for a good wedge of cash) and Conway. Twine was/ is not currently an option. The rest can go. Large wages for some, inconsistent for others or in Wells and Kings case, their best years have passed.

Spot on. It was crap under Pearson and its still crap under Manning.

Open now

Really

I can't see any way that a prem team does not at least enquire about him.

Its West ham so why care.

Let them have their day. Liverpool could easily put double figures past them. Best team in the Premier ATM.
