    Dans quel gâchis nous sommes.

    Un propriétaire disant qu'il veut sortir après avoir échoué dans son objectif déclaré pendant plus d'un quart de siècle

    De nombreux fans veulent que le manager sorte

    Trop petite équipe à ce niveau Les meilleurs joueurs peuvent encore partir, même les pires joueurs qui partent pourraient laisser des lacunes incombables dans l'équipe

    Possible déduction de points encore à l'horizon.

    Soutenir City n'a jamais été facile, au cours de mes 8 décennies en tant que fan, mais la coupe de malheur actuelle semble vraiment très inquiétante.

    Yeah that's what I thought. ?

  2. I think Naismith will be captain eventually when he's settled. Already touted as a leader.

    I don't agree with giving it to Wiemann. Not that he's not capable, I just don't really like forwards as captains because most of the play is behind them. 

    Defenders have the play in front of them and midfielders are central to everyone.

    Maybe a simplistic view I suppose.

    It's a shame you can't trade FFP headroom, like carbon credits. We could buy some off them!

    Spending money to be able to spend money... ?

    Are you throwing your hat in the ring for the future PM?

    In L1 which we all know  had very few strong clubs in it at the time so the quality of opposition was often mediocre at best, I certainly expected City to do well that season given our resources and we did. 

    I don’t see anything remarkable about SCs achievement.
     

    You really are the most appalling WUM.

    Of course new signings say all the right things. However not all remark that they were impressed with ‘the gaffer’ - some say bugger all about the manager but ‘big’ up the club in other ways.

    To me it’s a positive sign when they make a special mention about ‘the gaffer’ - I don’t remember any of GJs signings mentioning him at all..

    I think it's called 'Selective Memory'.

    As much is it was down to them, didn't the majority of fans want him as well? I cannot remember too much negativity before signing him permanently, or when it was a done deal. It just hasn't worked out, he needs to play in the right type of formation/team/players etc.

    Reading some of the stuff on here (now) you would think nobody at all wanted him bar Ashton/LJ, which was definitely not the case.

    You may be correct. I can't speak for the whole fanbase. Only myself. ?

  7. Said it at the start and I'll say it again. "Show Pony".

    Could have understood why we signed him if we hadn't already seen him on loan.

    Was delighted when we signed Kalas and Dasilva permanently. I said at the time, "We have got the two we needed". Then Ashton and Johnson couldn't help themselves.

    It will sting, but I think we should just pay the ****er up and get shot.

    for whatever reason, Nige doesn't fancy him.

    Not what Pearson has said at all. Full of praise for Wells this season.In fact I think he said he would like to keep him.

    I also think that it isn't up to Pearson.

    A panic January buy to `get us over the line` and respond to criticism from fans in recent years when we hadn`t done that. If we`d have played him how we should have I`m sure he would have been more of a success. I don`t buy all the `doesn`t want to be here` crap, it`s just his natural manner (remember Brett Pitman was just the same?).

    Good luck Nahki wherever you end up.

    Absolutely this.

  10. If we have to move Wells on to trim the wage budget, that's fine. A shame, but fine.

    No way should we get rid of him for footballing reasons, despite what the experts on here think.

    Nahki Wells has had a similar problem to Weimann here. Up until Pearson's tenure, he was usually asked to play wide. 

    Pearson realises that both need to be played through the middle. That is not particular praise for Pearson, a moron could see it, but our previous 'managers' didn't.

    Weimann has started most (if not all) games this season through the middle. He has got 20 goals.

    Given the career scoring records of the two, how many do you think Wells would get, afforded the same chance?

    Thankfully, unlike a lot on here, Pearson does seem to like Wells. 

    So do I. And I hope we can find a way for him to stay.

    I can’t think of any player that has left us for bigger things and would have regretted it.  There must be one or two I guess but then there are tons that are much better off playing at better clubs 

    Micky Naynard?

    Oh wait... it was all about his son's accent. 

    As you were...

    A few avowed Everton/BCFC fans too iirc.

    A Jackie loving poster from a pub in the Whiteladies area springs to mind, plus WTFiGO? (What......ever happened to him?) said he used to go up there a few times a season.

    Wonder what they make of the prospect of Everton visiting AG in the league next season?

    The first one will be me. ?

    I will be gutted. But I have actually never been to Goodison. The closest I have got was Anfield in 94. ?

    It's high on my agenda before it is bulldozed. Looks like I may be in the away end!

    Nope she didn't. She IE me, has enough on her plate without dealing with other twatty things like being accused of xyz because you've nothing better to do. 

    We had words Saturday because you were being an antagonistic ***** and one day later, you continue to do the same. 

    Not then me with the issue is it?

    As per before I'll take my own advice because it is clear you'd rather continue to in the same vein. 

    You did though, didn't you?

    Can I just point something out…

    @Akira stated “Ralph Milne springs to mind” as someone who he thought had used multiple usernames/accounts. He didn’t reference you, under your username, at all.

    So, that being the case, and working on the basis you’re not Ralph Milne (clearly not literally, the blokes dead), why the intensely passionate defence/denial?

    @Silvio Dante exactly, but now I'll call it out. 

     

    Invasion of privacy? ??

    No no, just don't see why people push an agenda for X amount of time, then change their name, pushing same agenda, as make it out like 'wow, there's now loads calling for X person's head', trying to drum up whatever narrative they're trying to push. 

    And you're a liar regarding name change/new account and have been called out on it previously, so let's not go down that road, or is it pure coincidence your letters stand for 'The artist formerly known as Ralph milnes left foot'? 

    If you've got an opinion, great! Stick by your guns (and username) and own it, and when challenged, that's when a debate can be had. But if you get called out on it because you've had a vendetta against our current manager, because of us signing a player, which has triggered past experiences, then that needs to be owned aswell (and for the record, I wasn't happy with the signing either but I didn't want the manager to be ousted because of it). Since that signing, he can do no right, even when we win in some people's eyes.. 

     

    She dropped a b*****k there, didn't she?

    Absolutely busted.

    It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

  15. The club need to back him to whatever extent is possible this summer. 

    The problems at this club extend back throughout the whole of Lansdown's tenure. 

    We have only had fleeting success when we have had managers that stand up to him, and the only one of those that he would accept that from was his mate Gary Johnson. 

    Coppell saw what was going on and ran for the hills.

    He stepped back long enough to let Dawe's man Cotterill get on with it until he couldn't help but interfere with the result that the best manager results-wise went absolutely fruit-loop.

    He needs to finally learn. And he needs to do it right now. With Pearson he has someone in between the 'non yes man' that he loved and the 'non yes man' that he hated. He has given him three years to deliver and he needs to suck up the home truths and stick to it.
