Can he actually be worse than all the others.

I have been watching for 40 years plus and only once have we even got close to top flight football.

Maybe he is actually what we need to make the next step.

Hopefully the L’s will be blinded by him and the loosen the purse strings and get a load of Prem loans.

He has to be successful or this could be his last job.

As much as I loved Nige the board for what ever reason were never going to back him.

Yes I know he is a massive risk and if it was not the ‘name’ he is he would not even be considered. 

The media will love him if he gets a bit of success and that could be good for him and the club.

Do you want to sign for Frank Lampard or Liam Manning? 
 

it’s a massive gamble but we have been asking the club to gamble for years - maybe they just have…

I wouldn't be against him either. His previous clubs haven't exactly been stable so maybe his luck and record will change here. 

We'd get a lot more coverage from the media which a lot of fans always moan about us not getting, tbh I'm not fussed. 

Plus he's be a big pull for players either permanent or loan which in that case will have good contacts.

No he didn’t.

Reece James was loaned from Chelsea to Wigan, and was magnificent against City.

He did loan Harry Wilson, though.

Didn't James score a worldy against us? 

Totally forgot about Pemberton!

Been told by a few people who would definitely know that tinnion has a little bit to much of a voice at the club  and it’s not particularly helpful at times 

Including the Andy King remarks by Pearson the other week?

I’ve read quite few posts on here today which say “Tinnion will be the Kingmaker”. 
If that’s that case, which many seem confident on (myself included), then why does nobody seem to be pointing out that Tinnion was also likely to have been the Kingslayer too? 
If he’s in charge of who’s coming in, it stands to reason that he’d have also had a major say on Pearson leaving. 
 

I have a theory (which I have genuine reason to believe based on events), that Tinnion has been the man with the power ever since Gould left. 
Obviously a manager wouldn’t be sacked without SL’s consent, but I don’t think it was actually SL’s idea. I think Tinnion is the man in charge and he’d have been the one who put this option to SL for him to ratify 

Did anyone find out about if someone questioning playing King was true? If so could it have been Tinnion?

Not surprised at all Tinnion is involved.

From things I’ve heard he’s not the lovely bloke some like to claim.

Managed to worm his way back in with the Lansdowns after his abysmal spell as manager & now seemingly in charge of all football matters, not good.

There's been a few ex players on podcasts saying he was a bit of grass in his playing days? 

Just know it will be Ainsworth

Tony Lockwood apparently, can`t say I`ve come across him before. He sounds more like he`s commentating on the fourth day of a County Championship cricket match that`s petering out into a draw!

Yeah definitely not a football commentator voice! 

Who's the commentator on red button? Sounds awful

I always suspected the nest egg was intended for Nigel's successor. This makes me suspect even more.

I said that when we didn't spend anything on deadline day. Definitely becoming more obvious now

I can imagine the conversation”why is King starting?”. “Cos I picked him you daft ***”…..:::

Or because you didn't give me any of the Scott money

He is a Shearer regen!

Sounds like a winner for carbon footprints & climate change

I guess Morocco will need to build stadiums, infrastructure etc to add to that 

Great for net zero and all that which high power corporations preach

Based on xGOT (xG on target or post-shot xG):

Max is doing pretty well.

post-shot xG measures on target shots and the xG of that, e.g. a shot in the corner generally scores more than one straight at the keeper.  Max is keeping out more than he should do.

 

Are there any stats on distribution as that's seems to be the main focus about his weakness? 

In my view we aren't going to have a keeper at this level who's good at shot stopping, commanding the area, can distribute accurately most of the time etc. I'm happy to have a keeper who can keep the ball out of the net, calm and commanding most of the time.

All three down to calamity Bentley weren’t they?  Only seen one and that was bad 

2 definitely, and seen the same mistakes more than once in a city shirt. 3rd was a good long range strike but maybe not positioned right. 

Anyone seen the Ipswich goals tonight

Now I can finally get into OTIB I'll post my reflection on the game.

It looked like a Championship side vs League 1. I will echo the sentiments in that they did remind me of us from 2015/16. I said this multiple times last night. 

We pressed superbly, and took our chances brilliantly. It's great to see we put them to the sword pretty quickly and efficently as Plymouth were poor. 

When we play at our best we are a very good and dangerous side.

Was talking to a Plymouth fan at work today. 

He said that the press and how we took our chances are a major difference to league 1.

I'm wondering if Wally has done a bit of a brown envelope business deal with the developers, he then sells the majority of his shares to some gullible bloke on the "nearly completed stadium deal" that will bring them untold fortunes, and then bang, "sorry pal, I cannot believe it's fell through".

Isn't that what the previous owners did to him? 

I saw that somewhere. 

Dean lewington nearly 20 years at MK Dons is the longest? Pretty sure I saw him against city 15-20 years ago, had a decent game I remember.

I would like guess that it was more of a gesture of intent rather than a sign of intent from the new owners.

Faced with having to part with cash they went missing.

If it happens again, they'll struggle to do business with any other clubs.

I've said this further back. Try to make out the new guy has money to get the fans onside another fake sheikh

Max a mid average  championship  keeper  still learning  his trade ,Bentley  top  half championship  keeper  who got a great move to the prem ,at the moment  Bents is a better keeper. 

I doubt there were many English keepers available for Wolves at the time for what they wanted. Brentford were happy to let him go while in the championship because of the same reasons why many fans on here don't rate him.

I think the ones with ambition to be in the hot seat is Jason Euell.

I've not seen too much of him interview wise but never thought he had the character to be a manager. He's a pretty quiet reserved guy isn't he? Nothing against it as I am.
