I think that Sporting quarter is his legacy, he gets that finished and up and then he can pass the Gate, look at the stadium and surroundings and think to himself "I did that". 

I do think he's still a City fan, I just think he knows all he has to offer is his financial strengths and that he'll not get us to the Premier League in his lifetime so he's looking to get out without losing too much and trying to move it on to someone he thinks cares. 

 

well he’s being blooming slow about it, ie something like a decade

If I had to work for Mannimg I would be putting every effort into getting out.

He is so ……..boring, with zero personality, before we even get to his lack of football nous and man management.

Just imagine for a moment how boring and increasingly pointless his ‘work on the grass’ must be to seasoned pros.

At least James and,King are being given a master class in how NOT to manage

I honestly don’t think he’s got much time left.

I reckon that dressing room was a pretty toxic place post-match, and SL loves to interfere. I expect after losing to Cardiff he will be speaking directly with one or two players, who I doubt have much positive to say. Can see him ‘riding in to sort this out’ like post-Holden if we got tonked on Tuesday or v Swansea. 

…… or both as likely

If Manning does not go soon and yet we survive in this division, then I see nothing but a relegation season next, unless Manning gets the boot early doors.  Just look at the players signed this season for next.

in a small way I feel sorry for the man.  He is clearly in a job he can’t hack, and needs to be put out of his misery.  Goodness knows what the old pros in the team think.

But, as others have said, I would not trust the two clowns with making the next appointment as they too are in jobs beyond their capabilities.

We are sadly in a dreadful decline, I just hope it isn’t terminal if they spend millions to get better because we have no one with the skill set to spend £10 let alone £10m

And to think only months ago we had a proper manager

Manning clueless in last match

Clueless in pre match interviews

Clueless in team selection

Clueless in bench selection 

Clueless in tactics

Clueless in substitutions

Clueless with no Plan B

Conclusion.  Clueless

Total shit Manning out Tinnion out

 Neither should have been in their present roles at all. Down to the Lansdowns and down with the Lansdowns

I'd prefer energies were focused on the real problem at the club and it most definitely isn't Manning

Yet it is now unless we get new owners who kick out Tinnion and Manning

Just hoping for the best now,his tactics have gone right out the window 

More like thrown the towel in

I assume you don’t mean of relegation considering we need one more win. No point making up false scenarios of trouble

Not unknown for us to go many games without a win, but more likely to make it difficult to convince players we are after that we are a promotion hunting club

We could by end of the month be in serious trouble

Willing to give Manning until October/November but it’s very hard to watch. 

Absolutely not.  He will mess us up more if he has a say in summer signings

Out now

Let us speak plain and simple words

Manning out

We can’t seem to hit a first time pass.

No but we are being well coached on the grass, unlike in the Nige days!

Will bringing on three subs make a difference?  Or is it a case of replacing Ross, D  with OSS, DR?

Just now, robin_unreliant said:

Bad enough that we're short on attacking quality without making it worse by playing them out of position!

Oh do keep up, we have a tactically brilliant Head Coach according to our two less than superheroes

God help us at Ipswich

Three more years of this.  I am beginning to lose the will to live

Is there any evidence of a tactical plan that could be tweaked second half?

Just now, Redrascal2 said:

Well that certainly hasn't been the case in the past. There used to be a cracking atmosphere both home and away. And it meant a lot to players and supporters. But the effect of Manningball is like  an anaesthetic. No fire , no passion on the pitch.

But are the behaviours right?

Sounds same, same old.  Is that correct?

There is no excuse for not naming a full bench unless you are having a go at the owners for not providing money for depth of squad.

I really don’t get it

This is a clear example, imo, of a break with declared policy of blooding the youngsters by exposure to a match day squad

Thus, again just my opinion, but it smacks of poor managerial skills

Rather odd

Which when you consider our transfer window, it baffles me to think Tinnion stated it positive one. We needed bodies for the here and now. Blokes delusional. 
 

Anyway… fingers crossed for a reaction and some fight today. 

Just remember Tinnion as our manager.

Says it all

Nothing this club does now surprises me.

We seem bereft of positivity and cohesion
