Steve seems to get more positives from the rugby fans. Maybe he prefers to hang out with them rather than the City crowd. Can't say I'd blame him if so, he's only human and we all like to be appreciated.

It may get toxic on here but I suspect the crowd at AG will be more patient than that.

Just asked to give a few fellow supporters something to celebrate today. Seems to be a lot of negativity on here.

So - who cleaned out the bookies then?

Does seem a bit odd that last night LM was still saying he had heard nothing.

Exactly this. We don't want to just bumble along for the rest of this season. The squad is good enough and deserves a chance of promotion so we need a change. Pretty clear what he said so no excuses.

Whoever posts next. Ready Steady...

According to Sky it is gonna be 'finalised in the next 48 hours'. So to save replacing my F5 key I will have to give this thread a miss until Wednesday.

Yeah, let's go back to three CBs. We all remember how well that worked for us, right? Plus we have tons of cover at CB, so no worries there.

We all know the step up from L1 to championship is huge. Look at how many of the promoted teams struggle. You are on dodgy ground quoting win ratios when none of it is at this level.

Where is the evidence it's him - have I missed something?

I assume that means we are nowhere close to an appointment then?

I agree with this. Both Tommy and Bell are struggling to match the hype from BT about being having sorted our strkers for years to come.

Anything official confirming this yet?

Hope so but can't see him wanting it.

Not surprising that the performance was pretty much 'more of the same'. First game without Nige after all. I liked that CF started the returnees and subbed them early, not sure Nige would've done that. However,the coaches that have set our style of play are still here (apart from JE), so why would we expect anything different? NP said repeatedly that he isn't a coach. I think we need a talented coach to get the best out of the squad.

So, how's the mass protest and 'Lansdown Out' chanting going at the Gate?

It is meaningless to quote transfer fees v spend without taking account of the wages. Fact is we have been spending more than we earn every season for years and we all know it. Maybe Lansdown doesn't want to go straight back to the FFP limit. I can't blame him for getting fed up with bankrolling the club when he gets very little excitement and a lot of stick. If he can find a willing buyer then best for everyone.

If they approached their first choice and were snubbed that pretty much sums them up. No plan in place, sack Nige and um um um.

Isn't that what the Lansdowns are saying though. With the wages we have been paying, contributing to the losses, we should be doing more. Maybe they have got fed up with being patient too.

Translation - we used to like it but now all we get is supporters slamming us for all the awful decisions we've made.

I gave up on this when the story was that Frank had cancelled golf today to be interviewed. Golf. In 80 mph winds. Right.

That seems rather odd. NP said on numerous occasions that he doesn't see himself as a coach. That isn't his strength. So, if Tinnion is heading recruitment and they want someone who actually coaches the players then you are looking for a coach, not a manager. Seems a fairly clear distinction?

Not a job for Cotts surely?

Can't see this happening now Roy has gone all-in. Just as well as I suspect it wouldn't last long as the Lansdowns have proven they aren't the right kind of owners for a high profile manager.
