Kid in the Riot

Which is why he was Head Coach here Nick and not manager, only our board and many fans don't seem to appreciate the subtle differences...doomed to fail really. Interestingly there's a fair few quotes on the Forest forum that suggest SC should stick to coaching as well...

Very good. Almost up there with this effort from a Forest fan:

As Barrs says, nothing to do with Notts C - it's hardly one of the bigger city football rivalries. Forest/Derby is the biggie in those parts. He was despised at Forest due to his ridiculous, bullshit post-match interviews, his massive unjustified ego, his "direct" anti-football style of play, his lack of intelligence, persevering with tactics/players that don't work, bringing in physical "can do the dirty" types as opposed to play footballers with ability and nearly taking them down but for the saving grace of SOD coming in as coach. Think that just about covers it.

SC is absolutely despised by Forest fans, Nogbad.

Why then, in your response to nibor's post which is 100% about SC, is the first word "SOD"?

Ah yes, the Bristol City managers job and the Liverpool managers job. They are both jobs, and that's where the similarities end. 7th is hardly a great finish for Liverpool, missing out on Europe alltogether. They could've fired Rodgers on the back of that, others have certainly been given their marching orders for a lot less.

Very true. However, according to JL there is no difference between a Head Coach and a Manager. It's just a title according to him and Sean just "preferred" Head Coach. Ably illustrating our board's fantastic wealth of footballing knowledge there. No wonder SOD failed, SC will fail and we are in freefall.

McInnes was the hardest working manager City have had of late according to SL so the answer to that is probably "it won't"!

Ok, running with your theory then. Next question is, how do you know those 3 out of 10 not attending were solely down to the manager? There could obviously be many reasons why people don't attend after purchasing a season ticket. And the question after that is, how many have returned now SC is in charge taking into consideration that obviously some may have already been disenchanted with his appointment and left already!

Interesting, but SOD isn't allowed the same excuse I take it? He was asked about his views of the fans at the Q & A and was full of praise for the fanbase. I suppose you will just come back with "well he would say that" but if SC had said it, it would've been oh so sincere and wonderful! I think that to suggest a minimum of 2,500 season ticket holders were not attending due to SOD is laughable. Approx 30% of season ticket holders...na.

And you know this how exactly??!! Pure speculation once again like your absurd comment that SOD was responsible for 2,500 season ticket holders not turning up! Face it, a manager attending a Q & A at a supporters pub and appearing on a fans' podcast is unprecedented and clearly an attempt to have dialogue with all aspects of the fanbase in a proactive manner. Er...I seem to remember SOD being scathing of our performances on a couple of occasions, Wycombe springs to mind. So what? SC's charm offensive doesn't seem to be working, does it?

It's not a different interpretation - you are wrong, as he was not expected to attend any of those 3 events I mentioned. Why else would he of attended these events in his own time if it wasn't to build up a rapport with fans? Which is exactly what SC is doing, although his rhetoric appears to be falling on deaf ears in record time.

Your rhetoric is considerably more boring and dull than SOD ever was! SOD went to a Q & A for The Exiled Robin and for the ST AND did an interview for The Bountyhunter - he was not "expected" to attend any of these, so you're wrong on that one. It was also SODs idea to arrange that game at Ashton & Backwell, a COMMUNITY game and he also sorted the school visit after the little girl wrote to him directly about her grandad being ill. He worked as a community officer for Bournemouth... He wasn't criticizing the fans for Kilkenny and Fontaine...it was simply the truth, they could not play at AG and that was ultimately due to their failings as you suggest. "Support your local club" - still there on a sign loud and proud outside AG...someone obviously thought it was a nice sentiment.

2-1/3-1 Sheff U.

Yep, true.

Absolutely no doubt that the cost of the build has escalated since when it was first proposed during the economic downturn. Building costs are higher now than a few years ago, indeed there is a national shortage of some construction materials. That was Higgs chatting shite, privately they were panicing. Now they don't seem to be, on the contrary they're ready to roll come April.

Very true, but this comes from a source that knows more about these things than you and I....we'll see

Another update: the noises I'm hearing seem to suggest that Roverzzz are confident this JR will be chucked out and they'll be on site in the spring some time. Could mean UWE bowl ready for 2015/16 season, same time as new EE will be ready...

It was a good performance, especially first half hour. Thought Wade Elliott and Pack were fantastic. No coincidence that possibly our best performance of the season (that I've seen) came with our most experienced line-up to date. Only Williams in the starting line up could be considered young and inexperienced.

I'd take a draw today.

Blimey they'll be goals in this Id of thought! El abd and flint in a 3 again, concerning...

He wasn't flourishing! Struggles with the physicality of L1 and the confidence to beat his man.

That's the danger now. I expected us to lose both games but to concede 6 goals and counting...very disappointing.

Really?! Haha I wonder how many people will be saying this when we go on a bad run... I keep hearing "positivity" he came across as very downbeat and negative today on player...

Hasn't exactly improved things so far has he?
