Galley is our king

As above, said a few very noncommittal words and then went into a Q and A. The Hen and chicken it was not! First question about the accounts and when would they be published? Answer.... they are being bought into line and published with the other members of the group, no idea when that would be. Second question. Could you please explain why Phil Alexander left the football club? Answer..... We felt things weren't going as well as we expected, nothing particular and Brian Tinnion was growing into the role. Third question. Do you feel that you should listen to the opinions of experienced supporters when making big decisions like changing managers? (Some clapping). Answer.... we can't consult on everything but everything we do is in the best interests of the club. Forth question. Now Liam Manning is here, what do you consider to be a successful season? Answer.... well there are an awful lot of points still to play for so we are looking for progression. When pressed he said TOP 10!!!!! Fifth question. Do you understand the disappointment that the fan base currently feel about the current board of directors. Answer.... well you can't please everyone and I'd like to think many do support us. There were other important questions about lighting in the stadium during evening games, music too loud and giving the opposition an advantage by then having the Atyeo stand. Sorry if I missed any others, please add!!! Don't think he enjoyed this at all so it was ended although there were others wanting to ask further questions. My second question would have been.... If you consider 10th to be a successful season why did you sack a manager when we were eleventh? Worked well as everyone was too old to work for Bristol Sport.......

We also don't know who the alternatives presented by the recruitment team were do we?

Depends on your age and how cold weather affects your bladder. Cold enough for me M....

Well we are looking better up front but very porous at the back. They are walking the ball into the box Will do well to keep this lead Oh it's ******* freezing

Yes but look at the defense against Cardiff, Tanner injured. Vyner injured Pring suspended Just Dickie!

I think you are right, their press wasn't that good which makes the decision making even worse. What the hell are we going to do when we come up against a team that does press well?

Interesting, watching the game on Tuesday, there was only one team playing possession football from the back and it was Blackburn! There keeper was excellent at it. Easily found a player in space. He only lumped it twice, one to come out and intercept a through ball and the other was about the last kick of the game. Both understandable. They also had multiple players running channels and creating space and using the wings. They kept possession the length of the pitch not just in their own half. We have a lot to do to get to that point and possibly a replacement for Max..

Looks really good but was hoping it would be one of Nige....

Ah, perhaps that's the plan? Get taken over in league 1..... Even Baldrick couldn't think of that cunning plan.....

Mmmmm, slightly harsh on Dale...

I'm sure it was Radio Bristol..

I know but the question was "what do you want"? Not,..what do you think will happen? Can dream though eh?

Proper Man, seriously missed....

With regard to the "steady stream" of academy players ready for the first team remember, he only became academy in October 2021. Before that it was Gary Probert who was nicked by Swiss. He was academy loans manager before that....

Can't have her mate, she's mine... all mine...

I'll answer this.... I want the powers that be to own this situation and take full responsibility for it! THEY sacked Pearson and THEY employed Manning. THEY said we have a squad capable of being top end of the table. I said in another thread, I feel sorry for Manning because the brief he was given, which was also explained to the supporters, is not possible due to the reasons given for sacking Pearson were a tissue of lies. Funny how JL and BT have gone silent again isn't it? Just leave this new inexperienced coach to explain everything. Tell me, who in the hierarchy of the football club management has any experience of running such a club? JL for example, looking at his LinkedIn profile, he "worked" for 4 years at his daddies company. Executive position? PR perhaps? No, in the ******* call centre! He acts like a spoilt brat, won't take any criticism. He runs the club like a hobby. BT. Legend of a player but his only management experience was a failure. No one else picked him up and no manager ever made him captain while he played which normally signifies a leader. I WANT THESE 2 TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS! I want BT to resign and JL to step down to a more junior position and employ someone who knows what they are doing! I hope Manning succeeds but that doesn't stop me lamenting the fact that Pearson was sacked for no real reason by 2 people who haven't a ******* clue what they are doing. I have tried to cut out the waffley bollox @Harry

Coventry winning though...

Birmingham and Millwall winning and will be right on our tail, hopefully that changes! Saturdays game is soooo important! And why am I suddenly looking DOWN the league table.....!!

Already down to 15th on the BBC live league, overtaken by Coventry. Come on you Saints!!!

So he's "inexperienced".... Can't get his messages across.... Learning curve dealing with senior players.... I agree with you in all these mentioned SO, why on earth did crayon boy and sid sack Pearson and choose him as his replacement?? WHAT A COMPLETE **** UP!!!!

Get back to work, oh sorry I forgot, this is work isn't it eh? Being paid by Bristol Sport and all....

And you joined 3 hours ago.....

Absolutely this, he constantly called Pearson "football royalty" Like writing your own P45...

Probably play him in a 11 v 11 game at the hpc and get him injured again just like Atkinson....

Can I have a pint of whatever your drinking please????
