@BigTone to bring a Merlot soaked swagger to the touchline.

Director of Comms for me.

£5 says that the first question is about the High Performance Centre

If we'd just sacked a manager and both Pearson and Manning wanted the job, this place would ******* explode if we appointed Manning. All a bit of a let down to be honest. Uninspiring is the word.

Torsten Leiberknecht's Cider Army does have a nice ring to it

We won today. Ergo, it's fact.

Got to caveat it with the age differential on OTIB, some of these poor saps are popping corks if they manage to switch the PC on in the morning

Don't google it fellas

Whats with all the blueballing @Kid in the Riot/@Harry ? Share with the class.

Out of this world save from Max!

David Wagner's had a dye job

I only post on my breaks from working in the circus as "THE AMAZING ZE, COCK SWALLOWER EXTRAORDINAIRE"

I'll eat my own knob if Jody Morris comes back as his assistant

@James I'll donate £250 for packs of crayola for the boys in S26/27

It's Eustace.

Not like they'd be there anyway!

Have you got some kind of mental defect that prevents nuance from entering the brain?

He really is as useless as a marzipan dildo.

Tin hat on, Warnock in

Genuine question - is it common for other clubs execs/board members/DoFs to do radio interviews after the sacking of a manager (never mind a very popular one)?

The main reason promotion to the Premier League is SO important, increasingly so as the gap grows wider and wider, is the massive financial uplift it gives. If you have the correct non-playing staff in place, and understand that you are likely to get relegated in the first season, you're in a different world to the other clubs in the Championship, and you've got a significantly better chance of challenging the the autos and playoffs, and yo-yoing up and down. Like I said, the gap is widening year-on-year between the haves and have nots. What is that gap going to look like in 10 years? If you assume that parachute payments and the current structures stay in place, I can only see it getting harder for us to ever go up Burnley have had the ride of a lifetime, been away to some of the biggest and best teams in the country, won some huge games, claimed some big scalps, and if they get relegated, they'll be a favourite for top 6. I want to see City play against the best teams in the country. Why settle for Fleetwood away? Not that we'll have the correct people in the correct positions because we're an absolute basket case mind.

Look up every manager out of contract right now. Every manager who might take a job here. £5 says you will not find a better candidate than Pearson. If he was doing the job he is currently doing at a comparable club, lets say Preston, we'd all be saying there's not way he'd come here. We have the best possible person for the gig going. What a joke it would be to entertain Eustace/Rowett etc. It will probably be Robins. OLD BOYS CLUB! I don't often get any ITK news, but as it stands Pearson is done.

Beautifully put. In my lifetime, NP is the most proven, respected, talented, and capable manager I have ever seen. I wasn't around to see Alan Dicks, more is the shame, but it would be an aberration to let someone of NP's talent go - especially while he's contracted here! I don't think I'd be putting money into the club for a very long time if he were to be let go.
