Liam Manning is clearly a coach for a higher standard (see West 'am, Forest, Southampton) than Bristol City and middle of the Championship and the worthy squad of players we have at our disposal, it's just a question of: can Bristol City reach the level Manning is at, and destined to be.
Larry also picked up a medal when losing the 1971 Cup Final to Arsenal. I think he might just be the most medalled Bristolian footballer. Those European medals are going to take some beating by any future Bristol kiddies playing the game
A 'derby' at Eastville, I would be up for that; playing the Few at the Memorial Ground, not interested. Eastville was a mess but it was quite big, it felt like a big thing, game. A big day out, even.
... out on the pitch (like the good ol' days) addresses the crowd:
"Which one do you want me to set free fire in the tunnel at full-time, Barrabas Tinnion or, er, the one that's not the Messiah?"
And the crowd responds ....
Yeah, and it's getting in the way of the players playing, and the coach coaching. And the coach referred to "negativity" himself. Implication seems clear.
Piercy said, the atmosphere down the ground is stopping the players from playing, and even stopping Manning from coaching how he wants to coach. So, it's our fault.
