I’m hearing a lot about Manning not making it as a pro. I trust I’ve missed the good stuff?
-
I has hoped it would have passed by now, but I still find myself fairly ambivalent to it all now. I have nothing against Manning at all, but I fear the only thing that would allow me to get my mojo back would be new ownership.

This is like one of those riddles Ted Rogers would give on 3-2-1.

Who were you previously? Remind me.

Also, look at the reactions to the opening post on the thread. Some pretty hefty forum big hitters all sharing the same view. That is not coincidence.

I definitely have the resources to prove all this. Trouble is… can’t use them! 100% this place is infiltrated when it ‘needs to be’.

Still working under the Pearson regime though weren’t they? -

Ever had a manager leave who you really loved working for? Leaves you feeling deflated. This is that.- 808 replies

No way would we have been playing this poorly under Nige. So this turgid display lies firmly at the door of The Lansdown family. Let’s hope a few sessions over the international break will help Manning develop his way.- 808 replies

Well this is absolutely shit. -

We’re pressing very high on occasions which concerns me. It’s all very well against QPR, but the better teams may well pick us off on the break. -

Difficult game to judge because QPR are pretty shit. But we have started well. -
Liam Manning first 5 games- hopes and expectations?
Fordy62 replied to Mr Popodopolous's topic in Football Chat
I can’t help but feel JL has set up a poisoned chalice for LM here. And I wonder if to save face the Lansdowns May attempt to buy themselves out of it in the January window. We’ll see. -

This is weird isn’t it? I’m not sure we’ve ever been in this position before or are likely to be again. A new manager has come in when the reality is we didn’t need one. The team were playing fine. They were playing for the manager and we were all reasonably happy. It’s always the case that we’ve been playing on the poor side when a new manager comes in, so there really isn’t a new manager bounce for us to hope for as there normally is. So realistically what am I to want? I don’t know. Do I realistically think LM can come in and step us up a gear or two? I’m not sure that’s possible… I just hope he does well but I am very very worried… and if you’re wondering why… just see Birmingham* *NB I realise that there are a 101 reasons why we’re not comparable with B’ham, mainly because Manning appears to be there on merit, but the changing managers when you don’t need to us such a massive gamble. edit: to answer the question, I’m going to say I’ll be really disappointed with fewer than 7. -
Correct. My fave ever striker. What a front three we had. And Shaun Taylor. Those were the days.

My understanding, going back to SOD’s explanation of all those years ago, is that outcomes will naturally follow processes. You can’t necessarily create good outcomes, but if you concentrate on the processes then outcomes will follow. Oh. And measure the grass and spend a shift with (a) the SAS and (b) in a Michelin starred kitchen. Or something like that.

It’s it years and years of it having gone tits up?

Thank you for a considered and insightful post. But please, let’s put to bed this ‘loyal club with managers’. We’ve been loyal once. Once ever. And that was to a family friend. Cotterill - no loyalty. Pearson - no loyalty. The Lansdowns seem to have been afforded this ‘patient owners’ tag, it’s peddled by Sky because they allowed Johnson to lose a million in a row, twice. And with respect, its bollocks. Take nepotism out of the equation and They’re no more patient than any other owners in reality (barring maybe Watford). I hope you’re right about Manning. Good luck for the season.

Yes. Quite obviously so.

I’d like him to bring in Nige as his assistant.
-
So… I understand we’re being afforded a 30 minute window to mourn Curtis Fleming?

Yes. Bizarrely ITK and simultaneously full of shit.
