I am convinced Tinnion agreed with Jon boy's expert assessment that the squad should do better and persuaded the dummy to appoint him into an effective DoF role which they knew Pearson wouldnt accept. They didnt expect the fallout though when they appointed who they think is a keen malleable coach. Sid got what he wanted that was the plan.

No coach with options would be prepared to take instructions from Tinnion.

Fabulous outcome that would be

Maybe a better and more relevant challenge would be to name an 11 of champ standard currently playing from within a 15 mile radius of Bristol. That obviously includes our home grown talent.

Get the top positions right theres a good chance success will follow. Unfortunately in our case that means no role for junior and his cronies so its as you were folks.

Obviously living La Vida Loca got too much for the clayheads

He wouldnt get anywhere near this squad imo.

Need stewards checking SCs to stop wandererswhich will cause a backlog when most pile in at 2.59.

Not obvious to the hierarchy one of whom is a so called playing legend so should know more about the inherited squad than anyone on here. Of course they could be lying incompetent *****. No reason to let anyone off the hook unless Manning was led to believe he had a free hit this year and could rebuild over the next 3. Not what fans were told. Thats obvious.

Short thread read it youll see.

Still costs the club to open AG

What you deserve mate is all the very best. Hope to see you posting again soon

Im buying it hence your reaction to my post no doubt Not sure im in the minority either but for the record, I really hope Manning succeeds whilst telling Tinnion to keep his nose out of important stuff.

Nice post. Plenty disagree with you it seems but none should doubt your hope for Manning to succeed as that means you get your ultimate wish. Manning is here (on current form) until end 24/25 minimum. That being said, fans are entitled to question him just like everyone who has gone before him and the antics of Lansdown and Tinnion, plus the orchestrated BS forum offensive will simply make people more determined to get their point across. Fair play to you.

Interesting comments thanks. I think Roberts hss hardly had much time to show either way and I actually reckon Knight has gone backwards. Williams injury free now and producing his best form. Arguable maybe hed be doing the same for Pesrson but facts are facts and spart from Saturday has been doing it for Manning. Tanner I consider steady and a 6,/10 since coming. Not really seen a consistent upturn but appreciate others see it differently. I think Pring Bell Conway and Wells seem to have gone backwards Vyner and Dickie excellent throughout and OLeary likewise consistent.. Imo therefore in and out with matching results and performances.

Agreed Mr P, only one I can think of at present but he drives me nuts more than impresses me !

Who do you reckon Manning is getting a tune out of who Pearson didnt? Genuine question

Well said. People mention the previous manager and when wsm responds they are accused of having an obsession. He doesnt rate Manning. Pearson is history. Possibly another shit appointment but time will tell. Time (and budget I suspect) will be afforded to the current HC but he should be open to scrutiny.

Those clubs dont have rugby played on it regularly though. Your point about tbe cost of a matchday at a "proper" stadium is very pertinent, particularly for City who seem to be austere at present.

Plenty of fans in there now who wont be if theres an unjustified price hike and I dont imagine there will be a big queue to take up the slack if thats the case. I get your point if you are referring to kids prices although the club is hoping those (genuine) kids will become adult fans so unlikely id imagine to double those prices.

Correct and yet goalies would get smashed back then and the goalmouth was the same size !

Dunno why youre getting dug out mate. I didnt know that about him and its not like the Bristol area produces many champ quality players.

Villa seem ok with the Bescot I think and I believe many other clubs avoid using the main stadium. Probably a good financial and possibly surface resting reason for that.

With 2 of them over the weekend.

I suspect there will be a strong lobby to stay at AG. Respect your views but attendances seem way down on the early season games. Club doesnt appear committed financially imo which seems at odds with the pr.
