Gotta love Italian girls

Every cloud eh! I once met a girl from Yate, on a flight home from Torino who was a season ticket holder at Juve. Wonder if one and the same...

Or play to our squads strength which isn't this. Square pegs in round holes again I'm afraid.

He mentioned today post match how many crosses we had...as in it was a good thing. And that's his downfall ...he's trying to win games by scoring from crosses. Which stats will back, as the easiest to defend against, and the least effective way of scoring.

Even if he read it and all the replies, I don't think he'd care. They are totally disingenuous and belittling of the fans imo. Yet...when confronted by a fans forum come across as rabbits in headlights, out of their depth, inept, and do everything to avoid or pass the buck. Thanks mate

Appreciated...just reflecting what I can see most on here feel as well. Hopefully it's noticed and the media pick up on it and make them aware.

Perhaps he's hoping we get relegated and that Dutch lot come in and buy us

Which is bizarre in itself...the mind boggles. Catch 22....

It's beyond a worry that Crayola and Sid now make the decisions. Get rid of Manning and BT...we still have Crayola in charge making decisions. We are totally ******.

Today he showed what a bullshitting mofo he is. In post match interviews he's said he wants the players to play to his plans and processes...and in the same breath said they weren't brave enough, didn't play with freedom or didn't express themselves. Which apparently he had told them to do...wtf...complete opposites. No wonder we are ******. Blokes a clown.

I had some sympathy for him...now he just comes across as an arrogant ***.

Totally agree. I just wish it was easier to support the players, the team, and be able to show disapproval towards those in charge. It's a catch 22. Never have I wanted so many out that are leading this club. I also feel I'm not the only one. Never felt to disappointed in the owners , leaders and manager. Also never felt so distant from them. I have no love for them...but Bristol City FC is in my heart...just not this lot.

In the ground and when they get off the coach. Also under the owners box. Maybe we should throw crayons on the pitch and a dictionary.

....from everyone in it together, players and fans under NP, all pulling together, getting it, fighting, respect, understanding...a feeling of we are all pulling in the same direction. A feeling of togetherness. Fighting, supportive, but respectful and knowing our ability and limits. To this bullshit within a few months. Talk about not understanding football, your fanbase, and totally thinking you and the squad are better than they are. Delusional. It's a reflection of how many in Government/Politics read and understand the country and what's needed. In it for themselves...out of their depth and massively delusional. The fact a fan base can see it, call it...but our ' leaders' can't is stunning. ' Tecknically and Proffesionally ' sp inept.

I just wish we were pro active in showing our disapproval at the ground like they often are abroad. Moaning on here, down the pub, with mates really doesn't make any difference. It may get picked up by the media, but any questions asked to those in charge or at Manning will be diluted. Empty seats won't make any difference. They just look at the present day ST takings...thinking this will blow over. Manning, JL, BT out banners, disapproving voices, chants at ground needed imo. Supporting right now, is probably misguided...however much it goes against the grain. It needs hostility towards those for long term gain.

The fans don't deserve this bullshit.

Sadly they've been proven clueless or on some points not telling the truth. Ones got a job from his dad to run a football club...but then sets up a design company, which is obviously his interest. BT...well it's been covered to death on here...gone from being respected, to now not trusted, questionable, and only in it for himself. The guy thinks he's better than he is... delusional. This club has gone from on the up under NP to spiralling out of control, rudderless under these two. Both too cock sure to admit it. How sick are we all of the same old mistakes over and over again. We must be a laughing stock by other clubs...respected for giving managers ' time' and a decent academy. But we sack the managers who tell these clowns what's what. And give time to the arse kickers. **** em.

Forced to retire after badly breaking his leg playing for the reserves, and is now based in Yorkshire where he runs a High Mast company called Outdoor Highlighting.

It was in an 'in' joke with Harry. Sorry mate...wooshed you by accident. Maybe worth reading thread before quoting.

Imo he's definitely been briefed on being less 'Coach' when doing interviews for the fans. However, it's noticeable when questions hit a nerve or he feels more under scrutiny, he resorts to type. It's his comfort blanket so to speak. He babbles on just using phrases that sound like he knows what he's talking about...designed to baffle. You get the same in the corporate world. He comes across like these numpties on the Apprentice. I think you maybe doing fans a disservice when it comes to seeing through it. Can you imagine being a Prem winner, an International, a player with experience at a higher level, having won promotions, been managed and coached by people that have achieved and won at top levels, with vast experience...and you have to turn up to training each day, and be told by a young bloke who's managed MK Dons and Oxford, that he's going to improve you, tell you stuff you don't already know, how to have the right ' behaviours' make you better and inspire you with his vast experience, knowledge and how to win? Kinnel...makes you cringe thinking about it. No wonder they want to clear out all the players that have achieved and won...and fill their places with nobodies who have won nothing. And have everything to learn. Makes it far easier for him and BT. It's a joke when you actually think about it.

Exactly my thoughts as well...add that it was BT recruited, so will have the backing to play him. Double whammy. He's miles off Championship standard ATM.

I don't think he read it...he swallowed it whole, and spouts coaching terminology lazily. He's the Les Dawson of coaching...says all the right phrases, but not particularly in the right order. I really can't warm to him. Full of his own hype. Even Tommy was using expressions in his presser that he'd obviously had drilled into his head.

Some of those questions put to him were good. Especially liked the ones about service to Tommy. Perhaps it's not Tommy's movement and finishing quality that's the problem...perhaps it's the tactics given to a player who hasn't got the quality and often ability to beat the defender, to provide a decent ball to Tommy. And the reliance on that player to provide...when he invaluably can't, as he isn't good enough. You can have all the right tactics in the world, but if you haven't got the player/s to do it...then your foooked.
