Galley is our king

I’m not so sure it is over the top tbh . JL admitted that he takes football advise from BT. Therefore , even though the final decisions were the lansdowns . They made those decisions off the back of tinnion’s advice . So , sacking Pearson , appointing manning were tinnion’s decisions. The fact that statements have been made about the injuries (medical dept) fault & sacked but no changes in that department. The lies that we have a top end squad & underachieving apparently under NP but doing ok & manning is learning is complete bollocks . Lack of due diligence done on mannings playing style & if it would fit our current squad , tinnion’s fault. Lies that there was no money for nige but all of a sudden because no due diligence was done , the squad has to be rebuilt . Lies.

He & the lansdowns deserve everything they get. 

Brilliant post

For reasons on and off the pitch, over the last six months I have become increasingly disillusioned with the club. This feeling is on the backdrop of the arrogance and poor senior management decision making, lack of entertainment and overall regression on the pitch, zero transparency, the downright lies and seeing the horrible ar$e covering propaganda machine in full flow etc.

Then on top, they hit me with a +10% increase in my SS seat for good measure.

I'm now thinking I'm not going to renew. Trust me, this thought would have been unthinkable just six months ago and it's astonishing how they have somehow managed to push me into even thinking this.

They are literally giving me no reason or incentive to change my mind or train of thought - nothing.

In addition, with the new TV deal and many games subject to being moved, I think I'll just pick and choose odd games to attend instead.

It really is a crying shame, but I doubt they'll be bothered or lose any sleep over it.

You and me both. If Nige was still here I definitely would have renewed but not now. Hierarchy doesn't deserve it.

So that's season ticket plus parking, but as you say, they won't give a toss...

Not in the slightest and not only the person who set it up but those that have signed it clearly don't understand what goes into moving a large number of supporters 

It's actually really cringey that people think they can force this change 

As previously stated a number of times the SC&T are in the early stages of discussions with the club about any potential changes at a future date 

I'd suggest if someone knows the person who started the petition they learn what has to ha before any changes are even considered 

Correct 

Another example of the originator and those signing not having a clue 

There are too many negatives to this

Firstly, what about the supporters already sitting in those seats? Some consisting of groups of friends and family? Where can they move to and stay together?

Secondly, and I have said this many times before, you cannot have people standing in a central block next to people sitting in an adjacent block because the people sat down can't see! The old east end worked because EVERYONE was stood up! They are stood up in the corner for a reason...

Sorry lads and lasses, it won't work

Header in the 95th ? 

How do you know that? I thought she'd tripped over before the diving header flew into the back of the net!!

Brilliant I thought... until.... she pulled her top over her head and ran around .....

Hopefully she will be out of Southmead soon........

Our game was Sunday early kick off because of it being against Swansea on police request.

Yes not Saturday because the gas had derby.

We could have had a early ko on the Saturday and the gas played on the Sunday.

Yes?

I don't think it matters much any more NTTDS because the other lot have become a non-entity.

It does matter when you have to choose between the game and your 90yo Mother (mum won obviously).

More to the point, why did WE have to change? Who's the strong leader at the helm of our club fighting our cause?

We are the higher placed team in the pyramid and should have played on the Saturday.

Do you think Liverpool or Everton would have changed for Tranmere?

To get back to our next game against WBA i think we have had very  little success at the hawthornes,don't have the stats but we nearly always lose.So regardless of who the manager is we never get any points.For the west brom fans they will be expecting a comfortable win.

Hatrick for AW me thinks...

Correct, but it should have been harder, much harder...

Max.

The number of touches he has had this season likely makes him the player most improved with the ball at his feet.

Just need to work on that bit when he kicks it now.

Oh wow! Just goes to show how well the team are playing when the goal keeper touches the ball more.

Easy for him though as the ball rarely goes up the other end...

It seems t me that whatever Brian said in the interview, people have mentally condemned him.  I thought he was open and passionate and gave us some interesting insights.  He is not a politician but is clearly passionate about our club and maybe, after some mature reflection, people will see that he has helped to bring good players into our club and has generated enormous value with his efforts.  I hope he stays because we will find it hard to find a more devoted and enthusiastic football person to be our TD.  Thank you Brian, I appreciate your efforts and achievements.

I'm sorry, I totally disagree with this.

He went out of his way to say (several times) that he’s been at the club 30 years and that he wants the same as everyone does - namely the club to be successful. Essentially he’s saying that he’s a fan and I have no beef with that sentiment.

His competence to earn such a senior role means that he’s impressed the hierarchy who obviously respect his knowledge and skills.

As with most things - the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

It already is and it tastes like

.....and this is why I argue that if Manning stays then Sid needs to be the first one out of the door and replaced with someone EXPERIENCED, QUALIFIED and THEIR OWN MAN. 

One or the other?

Nah, BOTH! And take ******* crayon boy with you!

The ONLY things that can be used to judge Manning on are the targets set by his bosses when appointed namely...

Top end finish,

Front foot attacking football,

Improvement THIS season (or why would we sack the previous manager?).

So, on that basis it's been a complete FAILURE!

Wouldn’t that theory pre suppose Swansea are as good as Coventry? Which they clearly are not.

Had a look at our subs bench for that one, Knight, who wasn’t well enough to start, Idehen, Joseph James, Nelson, Yeboah, Knight-Lebel, plus Bajic.

Basically we had Cornick & a not 100% Knight to bring on, so quite incredible we beat a side who made the playoff final at all with what was available to us.

Silly, you can't let facts get in the way of bashing Pearson!!

They know best and facts or context have **** all to do with it.....

Manning is here to stay for now….think he will be well-backed in the summer in terms of budget (decent creative midfielder and striker ain’t gonna be cheap)

Will be given the summer and first 10 game of next season, I reckon.

 

Brilliant! So he can piss up against the wall the "nest egg" provided by the previous, much better football man than Manning will ever be!

Apparently he was Tinnions choice so they should both be sacked together.... now!

Has to go and go now....

Not renewing as I have previously stated.

Did anyone ever come in for Brian when he was a player for us?

Not sure but one thing I can say is whoever the manager was he never became team captain which normally signifies a leader of men.

The academy now has been at a level of organisation and performance that its not been that in probably for ever, to say that it hasn’t improved under the guidance of tinnion, regardless of what you might think of him now, is disingenuous 

BT because academy director in October 2021, before that it was Gary Probert. Scott, Semenyo, etc were already part of the first team squad.

Not saying he doesn't deserve credit for work there but nowhere near enough to see him promoted to where he is now...
