You think it’s bad they’ve infiltrated the forum, I found one in my house earlier.

Back him people. He didn't sack Nige. And he left a club that clearly pressed him to stay, to come be here with us. So not exactly a bloody 'yes man'. Take frustrations out on the Lansdown's, not a coach with a good record here to take us forward. Welcome Liam, let's ******* do this.

Welcome Liam! A manager and club going in the right direction here, let’s hope the stars align and you’re the man to take us up ️

Looks a good side for the unders.

Well I’m slightly concerned on hearing he favours playing with 3 CB’s given we have four and three of them were injured this time last week

Yea as I say. And on the other hand you have your Roy’s and ‘RobinsHub’s’ that just word vomit and hope some is coherent.

It is frustrating, in real life and online, when people talk as if things are fact when they just aren’t. I’m sure most of the ITK’s are just occasionally misinformed and genuinely believe what they are passing on, but the people who guess stuff in the hope it comes off and they seem ‘in the loop’ need new hobbies.

This is vintage football. I could cry.

It is a good read, that forum of theirs. Dickie (via QPR), Atkinson, Sykes, Manning… it’s lovely to be the poachers, not the poached

What a half of football. Can only hope for more of the same, and Tottenham still seem keen to play for goals despite being down to 10!

Updated comment - seems it’s on their site too.

For anyone getting home from work and wanting to kill time to the announcement, have a look at the Manning thread on the Oxford forum. The switch from ‘if it happens, we’ll be fine!’, ‘he has so much integrity’, ‘he’s done fantastic whatever happens next!’ to sheer rage when the stories broke this morning is very funny. FWIW, I’m really pleased it’s him (I suppose I should still say ‘if’ really). Unsure at first but looking at his work so far in his fledging career, I think he has something. Here’s hoping Ashton Gate is where he really makes his name as he wins us the play-offs ️

"Having worked with Matty Taylor I understand that there will be people wearing 'faymus quarterz' shouting about 'snaykes', but he's said it's nothing to worry about."

Not today is it?

His brother took charge of Stade Reims game yesterday Because he was suspended

Politely disagree. Whoever comes in will have a job on to get us promoted, of course, but I’d be more confident Robins could pull it off than Manning.

I’m warming to this idea. Though I’d be SO tempted to wait until next weekend to see if Cov pull the trigger on Robins. I know he’s a manager not a coach - but I really like him.

It’s surprising that we’re seemingly announcing tomorrow and we’re so unsure. Club keeping their secrets well! Shags come home!

Seemingly a German second division manager, or Manning. Or Will Still. Not Lampard, Eustace, Williams, Mousinho, Robinson. But maybe one of those five. Long week for the ITK’s this

I’m amazed how few people know what blueballing/blue balls are. Thought it was a common phrase honestly!

Ah I forgot that caveat. Cheers.

Because we’d nicked the ball off them and they were in disarray, it was a really excellent chance to score, and the foul prevented that so I think red. If it’s in the box, it’s a pen and a yellow correct? Double jeopardy rule?

Yes yes yes and yes from me. But I believe he’s contracted to Cov until 2027.

This seems like it’s going to slip under the OTIB radar with how lively all the threads are! So you’re confident we’re making an announcement Monday then?!

Yes to my knowledge mate. No idea of its severity but I think we’d have heard if it was really bad so hopefully just a knock. Hopefully back next weekend; with four back today, if we get another one back next weekend we’re suddenly looking so much better.
