Yeah let’s sack it off so we can can concentrate on our absolutely thrilling league season.

Anyone remember Wolves beating us 0-5 at AG? - Tony Fawthrop was in charge and played a diamond in midfield which Wolves just ran thru………that was another embarrassing performance………

Tony Fawthrop literally never managed a game against Wolves, so no, I don’t remember that champ.

Been plenty of worse games, genuinely not sure there’s been any more boring though.

Cant think I’ve ever seen City concede last minute and been less bothered, was just so utterly bored and waiting to go home.

I’m not ‘low’ after that.

Just really ******* bored.

I really wish people would stop pretending that Man City roll the ball along the back at walking pace.

Thats just us, that’s what we do.

Torturously boring football, I’m taking a Wisden to the next home hame to keep myself amused.

Mind numbing rubbish.

Will this new period in our history include a shot on target?

How many years did it take us? 

About four and a half. Ridiculously.

Remember though, he’s a bright young coach learning his trade and those of us that thought he was a complete fraud would be proved wrong.

Sacked by two clubs in the same season and we’re still only in December.

He’s been sacked again.

Twice in the same season before New Year.

The bloke hasn’t got the foggiest. About anything.

My point is that unexplained dismissals have happened previously under our current ownership. Every other managerial sacking has been understood by the fanbase.

I don’t care.

To whom are you referring?

Your man, once again, trying to talk about a bloke getting sacked almost 20 years ago for failing to get promoted from Nationwide Division 2.

Don’t let the sad little troll ruin this thread about Nige.

Great post @Olé

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Manning take over a team that had been 8th a couple of weeks previously and was hailed as a top 6 squad.

Pearson took over a sh*t show that had just been humiliated 6-0 at Watford.

It is absolutely remarkable that this needs to be pointed out on a forum dedicated to talking about Bristol City isn’t it.

What minute will Sykes be inexplicably taken off?

I’ll go 67.

Where is this expansive attacking play, cos I'm yet to see it.

 

Don’t worry, there hasn’t been any. Slow possession played in front of the other team is about as far away from ‘expansive attacking play’ as you can get.

You rightly point out the goal at Huddersfield, I’m probably being slightly facetious, but I didn’t understand the great enthusiasm from people clearly (somehow) excited about the football Manning is supposedly trying to play for the first half at Southampton when let’s be clear, the opposition had the ball and we played counter attack.. so we played the football we were best at under Nige? 
 

Have to say I thought Wells and Naismith were great tonight. So much better than the usual laughable propaganda.

And if they’re “overloaded mentally” then Liam, sorry, you’ve got it wrong. 
 

As much as I have been completely unimpressed so far, I have absolutely nothing against Manning and have felt the Lee Johnson comparisons have been totally unfair.

This, however, is peak Lee Johnson. If anything, I’ve coached them too well.

Absolute garbage.

If people keep telling themselves ‘the football is better in places’ I’m sure it’ll come true eventually.

But it isn't. It’s crap.

I liked having a style of play that suited our squad rather than one that doesn’t make use of their strengths and exposes their weaknesses. 
 

Got rid or a pragmatic manager that knew how to get the best out of his players for one that wants to coach out of the textbook. 

Oh and by they way, I’m certain other teams allow their most dangerous attacking player to play 90 minutes rather than dragging him off every single game.
