Gary O’Neill isn’t getting the Bournemouth job… we could get him in quickly i’m sure.

If he was to walk…. Gary O’Neill anyone? Bournemouth seem to be messing him around.

Cov are a basket case but I still doubt Robins would choose us over them.

We need a win from somewhere. Great opportunity to play our strongest side and gain some confidence…. But no.

Possible should we also lose to Watford.

Agree and I’m pretty sure NP would if someone was talking negatively about one of our players!

Job for Steve Walsh? I’ve no idea where he is these days. I’m slightly bothered when it comes to key recruitment. SL seems to appoint people he already knows… that worked with RG but doesn’t always. Maybe a DoF recommended by NP would work!

I think I would too. This World Cup will be a similar test for me. It’s vile that it will happen in Qatar…. to what extent can I ignore it?

A completely logical rumour. If there’s truth in this AND the Tinns rumour it’s not great for the club, just when we’re starting to feel stable.

In the words of Saint and Greavsie “Friday night is Tranny night”!

I agree, hope it doesn’t happen but it is a bigger role, assuming the owner doesn’t meddle to much (which he might) this is a role heading up all things football at the club. Anyone know what his relation with NP is like? If Tinns really wants a wider role can it be achieved here?

Should be an interesting listen. For my money 3 takeaways: Time-wasting and refs incapable of dealing with it Naismith and NP’s refusal to deal with it Ridiculous substitutions and formation changes…. just as we’d got back into a game we should have been well out of.

It makes zero sense to me. If you do not want your brand to be associated with Qatar then either don’t supply kits at all or don’t have your logo/name/chevrons on there. Regardless of the colour Hummel’s logo will be visible at the World Cup, in Qatar. As an aside, it’s a really, really nice kit that would look great for us next season!

Thanks mate - I don’t use FB but just signed up and requested access to this. appreciate your help

Just realised there’s no pay on the day…. I’m now able to make it. If anyone has a spare I’d be happy to take it off your hands. Thanks. Failing that I’ll head for the home end…

And in a friendly…. And in November. Any idea why we were playing an international friendly in mid-season? (The sort of thing you’d see a current Prem team doing!).

Good player. Apparently played 350+ consecutive games for ‘boro. RIP

Good pod again guys - thanks

I was there…. A ball boy in front of the Dolman. That team, those seasons are still the best I’ve known as a City fan. Which reminds me, as ever…. Where is the Terry Cooper permanent memorial/tribute that the club promised? At Wigan there’s a statue of Dave Whelan holding the FA Cup. I’d argue a tearful Terry Cooper holding the trophy is as important a moment in our club’s history.

You’d think it could be completely re-laid by now….. presumably Wasps are so skint they can’t do it. Hopefully Cov are working behind the scenes to get it sorted AND buy back all or a part share of the stadium. Unless they’re waiting for Wasps to go bust and get the stadium back on the cheap.

I thought it was a good listen. Thank you. I regularly listen and enjoy it. I don’t agree with everything (surely that’s normal?). The post-Luton pod was positive and upbeat… so was I as I left the ground. Sometimes it’s negative and downbeat, often even… but then, often I’m negative and downbeat on leaving the ground… again that’s normal isn’t it? Keep up the good work @headhunter

Well we (none of us know) how much DI and RT earn or what Bamba would want. What we do know is NP must raise some funds before bringing players. All I’m saying is this would be the sort of thing he has to do before we see incoming players.

Would also add more sense/logic to Bamba possible coming in. Also perhaps one or both go to fund Bamba’s wages.

I’ve not double checked it but haven’t we quickly conceded a goal as soon as Klose has entered the field this season? I’m not sure what’s gone on there as he looked nice and reliable last year. Maybe he’s gone a year too far? I'm conflicted by this whole thread. I’m no great fan of NP, I thought he’d be great, I’ve been underwhelmed. My view is also clouded by his attitude in press conferences, lack of humility oh and his inability to make changes to formation/substitutions (a Leicester supporting friend suggested substitutions were a problem). His job is, as with all managers, to manage the first XI to get results whilst having an eye on the future of the club. For NP the bigger part of his role is the future piece, having to deal with FFP and all the other squad issues he’s in inherited. I am increasingly concerned that it’s become the whole reason for problems on the pitch rather than part of the problem. I guess I mean, poor substitutions and the like are nothing to do with the fact the club is in a financial mess and SL is still talking about selling up… with no sign it’ll happen - years after he first suggested it. Anyway, I said I was conflicted by this thread and despite all I’ve said above…. I agree wholeheartedly with your original post @Davefevs . It’s a point, nowhere near as bad a performance as some are making out (I was there). Conway gave us something of what we miss without Semenyo. Sykes looks decent enough. Vyner is fine and has been all season (still should play in midfield!). Weimann was great again. Worryingly we have a central midfield problem (still). Overall an ok performance, some positives, we’re 2 games unbeaten and off the mark. It’ll be panic stations if we lose the next two… but let’s see whether that happens or not.
