I can’t believe Mainz sacked him after what he’s done there. Would be better than any candidate I’ve seen mentioned and for that reason we won’t even try to appoint him. Doubt Tinnion has even heard of him!

Probably because they’ve gone 14 games without a win. 
 

Not saying he’s bad but he left on mutual consent.

Ummm...

Rovers have asked for permission to speak with #OUFC Manager Liam Manning, Board said to be willing to pay a six figure compensation fee. Top appointment if it comes off, watch this space 

6:23 PM · Nov 3, 2023

 

6 figures or 6 fingers?

Not Frank Lampard?

Who then ? 

Think the clue was why Radio Bristol interviewed Liam Manning, but I am normally wrong on these things. Just thought it strange to end the show on that interview.

Correct. but the lounge is booked for filming

 

Cheers. 
 

I did get a feeling something maybe happening this week, when Fleming said he can go out on a 100% record now.

The part of the Lampard rumour that involved the Exec Lounge on Monday was correct.

I’m confused (not that it takes much) both Kid and Phantom say it’s not Frank? 

4 minutes ago, Kid in the Riot said:

Yes, could be. But don't think Williams is of interest. 

Just seen Phantom said on FL thread that there is an announcement on Monday, are you in the same boat that it’s happening soon?

I dunno. He’s had 3 free kicks in similar positions in the last few games and he’s hit them straight at the keeper. 
It’s something we severely lack - someone who is capable of scoring from a free kick - is Tomlin the last one?? 

Think those ones were a bit further out than the one today and last one TC took also. 

And Naismith on the bench

Hi, my digital ticket is still saying Ipswich. 
I can remember someone posted how to update on IPhones to get the next game but can’t find that post. Does anyone else know how to do it?

Just to confirm: the rumour is not true. City aren't even interested in Lampard. 

Are they mad? Christine is a great looking women.

Probably. I think he also mentioned that it was unusual for clubs to give that amount of time off to players, suggesting we were an outlier. So he (or someone else) had obviously done some research.

Assuming he is correct that the players got 10 days off (and I believe this is true) then that means they didn't train from 8th Oct - 17th Oct, and so only returned to training on the Wednesday before the Coventry game.

I'm no expert but that does feel like you're risking going into the Coventry game a bit undercooked. 

And the Coventry game, we looked unfit and out of sorts.

Top 10 budget I doubt.

Top 10 revenue I can believe, but top 10 budget I doubt.

I think we were tight to the wire with FFP had Scott stayed, post a sale well clear.

Yep I agree, but we’ve not got another Scott, at the moment to clear us more to buy and stay within. I’m not going to argue with you as you’re a lot more intelligent on finances than me. I’m not equipped to run the finances in my house. 

Just now, W-S-M Seagull said:

For me, the business we did in the summer was by using the money we had got from Semenyo? So I really don't buy this bs about how they pre-spent money from the Alex Scott fee.

We still had to off set the lose to appease FFP.

At this stage we're only going to hear of those not on the list as the club will only say "no" to names, and simply not comment (privately) on names that it could be.

On my NOT list so far I have Williams,Rowett, Robins and Eustace. And thats it. 

Could be anyone else, but as the days go by it would suggest to me its someone in work, and someone that hasn't been mentioned/linked at all by the media, as they'll be holding the name back to keep good relations with the club.

Schumacher?

Yes they are, what difference it’ll make remains to be seen though. I’m not much of a rugby fan so no idea how much the sport is growing in the States etc.

If it’s growing that much perhaps it’ll be the other way around and the rugby will be what the next owners are interested in.

I just think selling it all must really shorten the list of potential buyers

I doubt very much, there is much rugby over there. Let’s be honest they call football soccer and have a World Series that includes them and that’s it I think. 
They just want to think they should have a free entry I guess.

I can see a foreign investor being interested in everything bar the rugby club, rugby’s not really a thing in many countries like the USA or the middle east.

If that’s possible and where it would leave them I don’t know.

They ought to get on board with Rugby soon, the yanks are hosting it in 8 years time.

Can we attract Graham Potter?  

Probably as much chance as I can attract Michelle Keegan 

What was we averaging when the South Stand was being rebuilt? I thought it was around 14k

Surely not realistic given Reims are currently sat 5th in Ligue 1.

Plus if they’re paying €22k weekly in fines for him, that he would be cheap either.

I read on a bristol live article, that they "understand" that the club are hoping to appointment someone before saturday!

They probably said that countless times when looking for LJ’s replacement 

With the two games coming up, I’m not expecting any announcement until after them. Imagine a new person coming in and losing those two games.

Kin unbelievable didn't realise it had become a parody show.

Next time I'll drink 14 cans of Scrumpy Jack call myself Natch and shout the names of random old City players down the phone, for a guaranteed appearance.

So you don’t want Warnock then

Early odds from BetVictor:

https://www.betvictor.com/en-gb/sports/240/meetings/441511110/events/2057263400?market_group=3538

At the time of posting Steve Cotterill is the 4-1 favourite, with Nathan Jones and Frank Lampard joint second favourites at 6-1. No doubt these odds will change over the coming hours and days. 

Whack it on Rowlett, he’s not on the list. 

I want Nige to stay, but I was talking to my brother about this and he said maybe there’s more to Nige’s health than we all know. We know or was told it was skeletal back issues. Now it’s rumoured to be neurological issues (maybe someone can confirm this) , which are a lot more difficult to fix. 
For all we know the suits maybe seeing out this issue before confirming he stays or goes the end of the season, hence the silence.
