From one stupid decision to another. Absolutely livid.

And you wanted Lampard

Glad you arent making the decisions.

Manning has show alot of promise. Lampard hasnt. Despite having a ridiculous amount of resources and talent.

Go and look at their win percentages aswell.

What if we get promoted? Will that also be on them? 

Absolutely. The gamble has paid off if that happens 

Just now, Mr Popodopolous said:

An inferior replacement I fear but time will tell.

I'm just relieved we have appointed some who has shown some ability and not gone for a big name like lampard who hasnt done anything as a manager

One things for sure, how this goes, for me is down to the Lansdowns.

If we struggle - It will be on them.

We had a good manager - they better hope manning is a good manager for us.

I've already got mates texting me 'who the f@ck is Liam Manning'. My reply is 'exactly'.

Who gives a ****?

Had you ever heard of: Scott Murray? Albert Adomah? Alex Scott?

Had you ever heard of Eddie Howe before he was appointed the first time at Bournemouth? Have you ever heard of Keiran Mckenna before he took Ipswich job.

But we had heard of big names such as, Marcus Stewart, David James, Michael Bridges... Those went well...

City will regret this I reckon, he’ll goto another championship club and will win promotion way before us

Based on what?

Despite the noises coming from Oxford, I've got a really bad feeling this bloke is going to get the job. 

From NP to someone who got sacked from MK Dons and manages a team in League one. How depressing. The boys will be doing cartwheels of joy up at the HPC when they get told.

I'm personally not against Mannning getting the job - I'm going to back him, if its him.

But if we struggle, this season or next, Its the Lansdowns fault and i'll be calling for their head, not the managers.

To be fair - a turnip in a tie would be more exciting then Frank Lampard 

But he managed in the prem

Saw your comment on Facebook on this same subject.

Manning did lose his job, but was doing well before he sold his best players. And he has turned Oxford from relegation battlers to chasing promotion in one summer.

He also has good pedigree.

Plenty of promise there.

so it’s Liam Manning then 

Underwhelming or what . 
 

More verbal diarrhoea from the John Clownsdown when he talked it up the other day 

To me this is more exciting than a frank lampard.

I’d love to see what Emma Haynes or Siena Wiegman could do for the rest of the season, but any success would be easily dismissed as “NP’s legacy” rather than a result of their ability, which we wouldn’t be able to prove or disprove either way.

I wouldn’t.

They are managing in a totally different game. A level which is far below national league level.

Nathan Jones is a **** who I never want near the club I love.

Lauren Smith seems like a lovely person.

I stand by my views.

On the basis you don’t like the guy then, which is fair enough.

But objectively he’s far more qualified 

16 minutes ago, elhombrecito said:

Certainly preferable to Nathan Jones.

Nathan Jones did a good job at Luton.

Lauren Smith has managed at a level nowhere near even national league

Not knocking you, but I struggle with this view. Now, I detest Warnock, but I'm of the opinion that City are my club, I've supported them all my live, I'll see out countless managers & a few owners too.

It would actually be peak City to appoint someone I can't abide & them be the ones to take us to the Prem!

 

I’m not against the style of play. I would never demand a certain style. Win any way possible.

But I’m not turning up nearly every week to watch my team cheat and roll around for 90 minutes. 
It wouldn’t be for me

Is it just clubs whose value could be affected on the stock market if a key employee was to leave? Which presumably oxford united isnt??

If it’s a PLC then yes maybe. But i doubt we’d be taking a manager off of a club that big

If that’s the case it has to be a coach out of a job. As if we’d approached someone at a club that club would of announced we’ve given “whoever” permission to speak with BCFC 

Clubs don’t have to announce they’ve given permission

Nigel Pearson thanks. However would go for Dean Smith, Mark Robins or Lampard. We need a name for PR, financial purposes. And no I have zero interest in watching League One or Two, but I did see how easily we swept aside Oxford in August. Spent years doing it, if we want promotion we need proven. 

I’m making the point that it’s a cushty club who keep ex players (like no other) 

You have no interest in League One football, but you want Lampard

Most of the names mentioned have been worse than this fella

Like merson said they appoint lampard it's all about ego..

Yep would be ridiculous

Thank you for providing something that has no context

Everton and Chelsea were of course both basket cases. 

Things haven't really improved much at either since he left have they? 

Frank wouldn't have to deal with the issue of leaving 18 players out of a match day squad here. He wouldn't need to rebuild a team. He wouldn't need time to input his tactics and culture to the team.

It's all already there for him. I don't think he's ever really had that in his management career. 

Come on. Both teams, particularly Chelsea, had good players. And a decent size squad.

he didn’t manage Sheffield United or Luton!
