It seems quite a few are fully paid up members to the Liam Manning fan club (which is fair enough) and they have disdain for anyone who isn't yet signed up which isn't fair.

What do you mean, “paid up members to LM fan club?”. Another OTT statement

I feel the majority are still gutted NP has gone, deeply pissed off at the clubs owners but are moving on. You have to look forward and that means giving Manning a chance. Very far from being a fanboy and just supporting the team, which is what we should all be doing.

For me, based on his lack of Champ experience and the lack of any success in his managerial career, its a big risk. 

I think a lot of people have fallen for the "best young coach in England" PR. 

If people want to sing his name, that's fine but for me the proof will be in the pudding. 

 

How much longer are you going to whine about his appointment? Get over it FFS. You are so negative and like a broken record. Jesus

Poor lad

It is bizarre that Pearson was told that the budget was maxed out even after selling Scott.

Then suddenly we find money to pay off Pearson, Fleming, Euell and Rennie.

We then found even more money to pay compo to Oxford for Manning and his staff and any possible signing on fees. 

Id argue that money could have been used to bring in the 2 players we needed in the summer

 

Redundancy / compensation payments are accounted differently, so as not to effect (for example) existing wage budgets.

Why not ignore the fact that they are too young, too old, too short, too fat or too anything visually and just say what you mean- you can't stand them whatever they wear, look like or say. 

If he spoke with any kind of authority id agree. However he looks as shit as he speaks. Press conference with a new manager wearing a crappy cardigan? Put a bit of effort in ffs

I suspect this may be a fairly short relationship, so I’ve voted 12-18 months

Thats about the average for a manager nowadays - short would be 4 months.

Well, he's not CEO is he.

Chairman. Same point applies.

JL is a scruffy sod. At least put a suit on if you are CEO and look a bit sharp

Surely they are not going to balls it up again?

Why are you telling me what to say and think? 

Im not. When did i say that?

Im pointing out your posts are very negative about everything BCFC. At some point i hope you regain some positivity

And that's my concern. 

If he doesn't start off well and the pressure is on in Jan, he'll recieve LJ levels of support because we have that "nest egg" 

If those players are on the level of LJ signings then we then have 2-3 years of trying to get rid of them and getting the squad back to the current shape it is in.

Why are you making up negative scenarios? Try and be positive about things 

Bloody Aussies

Isn't it telling that we never have success with Head Coaches? 

 

Not really.

They booked out the executive lounge all morning to film a 4 second clip with no sound?

Anyway. Welcome Liam. Lots to crack on with

Jackson scored 3 and was awful he will never score another hat trick  as long as he is in the Prem.

Spurs wont finish top 4 let alone be in a title race

Weren’t you the poster who started a thread on Antoine Semenyo being a bit shit and never a striker? Not exactly famous for your predictions

If you are a Spurs fan, you are going home proud of your team despite getting beat 4-1. 

That was insane

Shit team Chelsea. A collection of individuals - less than the sum of their parts. Fair play to Tottenham for being so brave. Game of the season

Mental game of football but i hate bloody VAR

Id go for @italian dave. Always considered, never knee Jerk plus we could do with some good old fashioned Italian football shithousery

However he has gone now because the board stated we should be challenging with the squad we have. There is also an expectation that we out perform our ability and budget. So what's that, top 2? 

So unfortunately for Manning, he doesn't get the same period of grace that Pearson got. He doesn't get time to adjust to this league. He needs to hit the ground running and have a successful season. 

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.

He was sacked from MK a year ago.

Are you judging him because he got sacked, or sacked by MKD?, because every manager with the exception of Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp has been sacked. Sacked from MKD because they are a small club? Did you see what he achieved with them the season before he got sacked, and then the club sold their best players? Sounds familiar right?

You have stubbornly made your mind up, and its incredibly myopic.

As for @W-S-M Seagull and others bemoaning the "bullshit bingo", there is a huge difference between talking in those terms and understanding and implementing them. I think it looks and sounds like this man is in the latter category. Also, with that in mind, the biggest problem seem to have with LJ was that it was all about him and what he did, whereas in that video he explicitly talks about the players and helping them make the right decisions. That last part is not a million miles of what Pearson wanted either.

100% agree. Some people have an aversion to what they would describe as management lingo.

If Manning turns out to be another Dean H their position would be untenable considering there was next to no serious clamour for Nige to fall on his proverbial sword.

How is your position untenable if you own the club (SL), and you are employed by your Dad (JL)? 

If Manning fails, they will throw BT under the bus.
