Another example of a great manager, who crucially wasn't financially backed, and met their demise in an unfair fashion.

I often wonder where we might have been if he'd had the financial backing he was promised, and his 'straightforward' personality was accepted.

Im sorry but this post just makes me so angry and volatile to those that run this club.

Tinman, Manning may not be what we want/need but the the buck stops at the top.

It’s no punishment at all. I reckon if you offered any City fan promotion now and a 2 point deduction next time we are relegated, they’d snap your hand off. 
 

In fact how big a deduction would you gamble on…. 12 points? 20??  I would for the experience, increased profile, financial bunk up and parachute payments. 
 

Sounds to me that financial impropriety pays!!! 

As if were eer getting promoted though!

I worked with a Plymouth season ticket holder, each season a group of them used to have an away weekend at a game.

One season they were in the same league as Rovers for the first time for a few years and I asked if they were going there, given how close it was.

He said that the facilities for away fans were so poor the last time they had gone that they had decided not to go back there until the ground was rebuilt.

Similarly I went to watch City at Brighton in an evening game when they were still at the Goldstone Ground. It was terrible, the terraces were crumbling to the extent that some had to be roped off for safety and the toilets were swimming in piss. I was never going to go there again, though TBF they were in their last season there as the ground had been sold.

It does make a difference.

If that Plymouth game would have been between The Gas & Plymouth on a promotion destined season then they would have been:

a) at the game

b) moaning that they couldnt get a ticket for the said fixture

If following City for over 35 years has taught me anything, then it is that; football fans are unequivocally fickle....oh and we will never go anywhere with the Lansdowns in charge.

Conway I heard was being closely monitored (pre injury) by Southampton, unless anything was written with the help of a lawyer I doubt that same interest will be apparent anymore but as Grievsie once said "its a funny old game".

I can hear a pair of smarmy little hands being rubbed together whilst the words: "small pond, big fish" are whispered, repeatedly into our subconscious,

Credit it to him, played Lansdown a blinder then lived off that at Sunderland Hibernian and Fleetwood before all three saw through the bluffer, Is there anybody left taking that clown seriously?

Yep, Lansdown, as hes proved by appointing another version of LJ. Credit goes to Lansdown for the way he somehow got paid Billions to make a great cup of tea & organize some photocopying.

...with the "Steve Lansdown needs to come back and sort this out"?

He's THE BIGGEST ****ING PROBLEM OF ALL!!!

And also, if you haven't noticed, he washed his hands of it some while ago. 

SELL. UP. AND. ****. OFF.

100 PERCENT THIS.

HE IS THE REOCCOURING PROBLEM, PLEASE LEAVE ASAP YOURE DESTROYING OUR FOOTBALL CLUB!

Yes tend to agree . The whole slide from Div .1 to Div.4 was pretty in inspiring and bottom of Div. 4 a horrid low point. But this seems so self made by the owners and dynamic duo's managerial choices. How long does SL let crayon boy and BT run the show without input ?

Thats just it though SL makes the final decision, he is the common denominator in the last 20 odd years of continued failure he cant help himself, enough is enough!

Disagree.
Getting rid of Manning will mean just another muppet being employed by the Lansdowns. Just more of the same bull sh*t. Time has come where as fans, the Lansdowns need to know that the fans deserve better than this bollox, eff off and let someone else have a go at running this football club in a proper manner.
This is just a shambles of a football club/Brizzle Sport or call it what you like. No answerable Board, no CEO, no Chairman. A joke. It ain’t working.

Ive run out of likes, but this is exactly how I feel, until they go I will not return to Ashton Gate (good job I live in Leeds)

Careful of what you wish for, if Im honest Id take Vincent Tan over our current lot!

when will our fanbase wake up?!!!….The Lansdowns haven’t got a clue how to get this Club up to the Premier league and it won’t happen whilst they’re in charge! 

This is exactly the problem & they unfortunately arent going anywhere, which in all honestly is beyond depressing. How can we have someone who is so rich but at the same time be completely useless at running a football club. Im not convinced that top flight is what they want.

Be gone please ASAP!

WTF just happened, shame I thought we played well thus far!

There will be lots more talk about Southampton when Tommy joins them this summer!

Agree re TGH. A Manning signing as far as I'm concerned. He could have vetoed it and had a million or so in the pot this summer instead.

I understand why Manning signed TGH, have you seen his Mrs?

Just now, JAWS said:

Yep. Something isn't right. All too much of a coincidence 

Glad its not just me thinking this then, defo something amiss!

Manning is an atrocious appointment. But I don't have anything against the bloke personally. He's far too boring to extract any such reaction. 

But he needs to go. Tinnion needs to go. 

But above and beyond all else, the Lansdowns need to go.

This.

Sums up exactly what needs to happen ASAP, we will NEVER achieve ANYTHING with the current ownership and if you doubt that, then please look back over the last 20 something years and count our achievements (not the embarrassing JPT wins), its laughable to expect anything other than further failure, its almost as if they are happy to just rinse & repeat, continuing to bounce between this league & the one below, where we are a bigger fish and can compete without having to place a hairline crack in their nest egg.

I honestly believe "THEIR" expectations do not match the majority of ours "The Fans".

People may say: "be careful what you wish for we could be Gas", but were not and its their abject failure that maybe makes our situation and the atmosphere generally apathetic rather than down right toxic. (For now).

Lansdown OUT

Just because daddy is majority shareholder doesn’t mean you have to be in charge Jon. It’s time for dad to get a chairman in that can run a football club and you to go back to your yacht. 
 

Brian you are good at what you are good at. Spotting talent. Having you anywhere near the decision making process is soul destroying. Swansea next week oh the Irony!

Dad is the problem he makes the final decisions and we know he's an interfering bavstvd to boot

Not just the decision but the utter bilge that Jon L and Tinnion came out with after the sacking. 

Neither of them can have any defence for destroying all the effort and work the Nigel Pearson did in his time here. 

Shameful, spineless, self serving human beings.

They are puppets to the Boss, everything goes through Smarmy Steve.

Correction. Tinnion and Jon Lansdown have. Manning has just helped a bit.

Steve has, he's the boss it's his final decision, he's to blame.

Seen enough, out of his depth at this level. Tactically inept compared to the rest of the managers in this league. Both him and Tinnion out, preferably now. 

When are people going to wake up and realise that the problem sits at the feet of the owner of this football club, he's made nothing short of maybe 2 decent decisions in his what 25 years at City, he needs to **** off out of this club and fast before another 10 years goes by of achieving absolutely nothing but regression.
