  2. Purely as a fan, what is your expectation / hope for City?

    in Football Chat

    Posted

    No Expectations nowadays, mostly down to the recent reset, when the board needed to be a bit more patient and let the previous manager continue building (after tidying up the previous mess...)

    Hopes = to see our team run out on the 1st day of our premier league debut at Ashton Gate against Arsenal and beat them 1 nil, like we did in 1976 at Highbury. Then become a top flight club for longer than 4 seasons.

  6. Be Careful What You Wish For?

    in Football Chat

    Posted · Edited by Tomo

    Personally, I can't thank the Lansdowns enough for what they have done since they became proud owners of OUR club, but do we need a new owner? Is it the right time to part company? if 1) we can find the right investor? And 2) if Steve can let it go?

    They always say, 'be careful what you wish for' but as fans, we continue to experience the same, a repeating process that never changes. It's absolutely mental, that it was 1976, the last year that we were promoted to the top flight of English Football.

    No matter how big your 'city is', there is no given right to reach the promised land and some clubs don't even want to get there (of course, the owners of those clubs would never admit that). Its a bloody expensive investment but at the same time, it's a financially rewarding one. 

    We are currently shopping in Ireland, Scotland, Belgium etc, League 1 and 2 and have a young manager who has experience in academies and Tier 3 football management.

    2076?

    It’s incredibly frustrating that commentary on tonight has reverted to Liam Manning v Nigel Pearson. 

    This has nothing to do with which camp you are in. It’s just the observation that the team performed crap tonight (Max O Leary aside) and the weakest performance unfortunately was from the manager. 

    That has nothing to do with Nigel Pearson and by calling it out is not harking back to a love affair with the predecessor. This ain’t the time for comparing records or calling out the board, I think it’s the time for calling out ‘Manning you lost us 3 points tonight for setting us up very poorly and not having the nouse to change it’. 

    it’s not about harking back to the past, it’s about being concerned for the future now. 

    Bang on. I've quoted this previously. It isn't about Nige or Liam loving. It's what the board said when making the change that irritates me claiming that we were top end challengers this season.

    I know he’s saved us on other games. I rate Max a lot. That wasn’t my point though 

    It wasn’t that many. 

    Yeh, I got that wrong mate, 1.28PPG apparently, still going in the wrong direction mind, especially after the board quoted 'top end' squad.

    Under Pearson we were averaging 1.29 PPG this season, under Manning we are averaging 1.21.

    That's basically one more win over the course of a season under Pearson. So we've not regressed nor have we improved, we've stayed where we were.

    We're on to finish with 59/60 points at the end of the season, so absolutely 0 progress from last season as things stand!

    Incorrect. Pearson had 14 league games....20 points ...1.42PPG

    Fleming 1 game = 3PPG 

    Manning 15 Games, 17 Points = 1.13PPG

    I just think @Tomo that if Manning is so bad then criticise him but if he is that bad then you shouldn’t have to make stuff up like it’s relegation form as you should have enough ammunition anyway 

    Mate, it's not far off relegation form. Don't get picky😂

    In 2 games time, it won't be far off.

    At the end of the day, we are not going in the right direction.

    Yeah they have. It’s just not relegation form. Close to it for sure. Fine lines though as always. If Max doesn’t make that error Tuesday then the record is about the same I’d guess 

    I think we were on 1.4PPG when the change was made, so not that close really....

    52 points over a season. Not often that gets a team relegated. 

    Granted, but Charlton went down a few seasons ago on 48, so it's fairly close to it.

    The side have performed worse in terms of points attained since the change of style. Simples.

    Always like listening to Liam (and want him to succeed). Although, I am getting tired of hearing about 'time on the grass'....apparently it's only been 12 or 13 times since he arrived. 

    Get on with it. Same fixture schedule for everyone and let's remember 'one' of the reasons the board sacked the previous manager was an accusation of a 'lack of grass time' (more for health reasons I assume). Don't shout to loud Liam about a lack of grass time and crack on😂

    My son may not agree with you Graham.

    Here are some more upto date shirts that have been made, which were worn by my son. I collected them these evening and they are now ready to display in his room.

    He will be buzzing in the morning...

    Making Memories...that he will remember, just like I did back in the day.
