You know that the Lansdowns make a decision, then find any old bollocks to back it up right ?It happens a lot, for example when people get made redundant in a company. They pick person they don't like, then "justify" the redundancy by scoring them unfairly. As long as a process is followed, its allowed. Pearson was scored unfairly, and was gone. Totally unfair. Nobody believes we have a top 2, or even 6 squad no matter what JL and BT says.
They won't sack Manning for not being top 6, unless he completely bombs, as it was all bollocks in the first place. I wouldnt put it past them to throw Tinnion under the bus, however.
Do you want Manning, if it is him, to fail, so you get even angier at the Lansdowns and proclaim they are total sheisters?
We know that anyway. What then? SL still owns the club - its not like you can get rid of him.
Next up : Minds being blown when Manning is given January transfer money, when Pearson was told their wasn't any. Is it more bollocks, yes - but thats what they do.
