Lansdown confirms that Lampard has not been considered for the job 

That’s that then

Manning's only been at Oxford about 8 months, staving off the threat of relegation last season and taking them to 2nd in the table now.

Evidently a promising young manager and would certainly seem to fit the bill as far as the Lansdowns/Tinnion are concerned, but very inexperienced and a huge gamble.

 

He wouldn’t last ten minutes in the Championship. 
 

Way out of his depth

The Club can't turn the clock back but in my view (most will disagree) the pragmatic thing would be to give Curtis Fleming the job until the end of the season unless the next two games suggest otherwise.   

It's not going to happen but a lot of coaching is about communication and motivation and he has those skills in abundance.  The Club can reevaluate at the end of the season. He strikes me as infinitely smarter than Dean Holden and whoever comes in now will have to work with the current crop of players.  Also, Tinnion will be doing the recruitment in January. Fleming comes across as a passionate man but someone who can form good relations with anyone in a positive way. 

No doubt Tinnion won't want any connections with NP hanging around so it's unlikely in the extreme if he is the ultimate decision-maker.  Curtis just comes across as an impressive man in press conferences and for the things he does outside of football.  It could just give a twist in the tale from a poor decision horror story to an uplifting next chapter if he is given a chance and makes a success of it.

Think there’s no chance of that.

Personally think Lampard is a far better shout for the job over Eustace. 
 

Hes “been there and done it” scenario 

He would definitely attract more fans to the Gate and would have many contacts from the Premiership who would allow their loan players to come to the club  

He would know the potential catch point area for the fan base in the South West as well  

And I actually think the players would welcome him with open arms  

I know many are mentioning his wages but our transfer deals will see there is plenty in the pot to pay him a three year deal  

And the big thing he’s a name and face that could well attract new buyers

All of BS for £200m.

Thats change to a Saudi billionaire 

Comes to something when many Rovers fans have made comments on Bristol Live site saying what a ridiculous decision by the owners. 
 

Think NP has massive support 

What a fooking mess again

My 50 year tenure of the club I love may be over.

Gutted

Personally think NP done a class job

What I’ve never been able to understand is the relentless injuries (12 out at mo)

And the fact we sell the likes of Kelly 17 million, Semeyno 13 million and Scott 25 million and very little given to NP to bring in players. 
 

I understand the club were in debt but no longer. 
 

And surely if NP would have been given 15 million to bring in a top finisher keeper and centre back we all wouldn’t have been having these conversations today. 
 

Truly gutted but that’s Bristol City 

Started with Bristol City Council today 

Good on you Joey lad

In the words of Kevin keegan I’d luv it if we win the next 2 , luv it .

I’ll take a point tomorrow and smash the shite out those fookers on sat 

Personally will be gutted if NP leaves even worse if the owners get rid. 
 

You can’t knock the blokes efforts and the squad have become strong and hard to beat and play some great football at times. 
 

I want the guy to stay. 

It will be tragic if he’s not offered an extension and the owners bring in a new man and we start all over agzun

Thetes a huge air of optimism at the Gate. 
 

Not that sny of us expect direct promotion but we are all happy with the team and the way we are playing. 
 

It’s a progress thing. 
 

NP done exactly the same at Leciester

Please give this guy more time Mr Lansdown 

.   

You can tell by NP after match comments he wants to stay here

He knows he’s probably close to something he achieved at Leicester 

FFS Mr Lansdown

Extend his contract 

Ladies and Gentleman

I give you BS7 new “First Bus Shelter”

Can anyone confirm if a match day programme is still included seeing that the club no longer produce one?

Well everytime I’ve been in there we had a Well Red programme

Never been in the Heineken lounge before, was just wondering from people that have is it worth the £90 and what is included in that price? Thank you 

Its excellent, done it many times.

You get a bottle of Heineken on arrival along with table for the afternoon.

You then get your lunch, usually buffet style, but its good.

A match day programme.

Paul Cheesley is your host and there is always some current and old City players about for pictures and a chat

Shown to your seat at 2-45

Half time some food on your table.

After the game bar open to around 6pm.

You will enjoy it.

TC is class

Worrying that the poachers from the Prem will be out

If that finish was from a Prem team it would have been played over time and time again 

Hes a wonderful talent  

And a big shout to Brian Tinnion

He has been a gem to bring these lads through

Another week where I give up on the Robins TV stream and use another stream instead. Why do I even bother paying for Robins TV?

Absolute shite ain’t it 

Club seems quiet on the injury ?

Lets hope it’s short term.
