I find it odd when anyone has “second teams” or build an affiliation with anyone other than our club. I get that people may have fondness or family ties to other clubs but I could not care less about anyone other than Bristol City. I watch other matches cause I love football, but I thought having a Prem team as a second club belonged to lifelong no-hopers like Bristol Rovers who all seem to love Liverpool for some reason. Just my opinion - oh and yeah, Cole Palmer is some player.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha what is this!! I am cringing so much right now. What a club.

I find it a bit tragic that the club self-glorifies in basically being a feeder club to smaller, yet more successful, ambitious and well run clubs, rather than wanting to actually achieve anything here and now. Emperors Clothes nonsense.

Excellent post and said much better than me.

I thought this. It was like they collectively broke rank. Not sustainable though to do this. What a mess.

We have actually appointed an android haven’t we?

Its a low bar if we are looking for someone with more charisma and energy than Liam Manning. I would go with Andy King, Don King, King Charles; anyone right now to be honest just to feel excited again. Its painful.

No issues. All City aren’t we.

Very welcome. Hope that helped a bit even though I feel slightly patronised. Have a great weekend.

I might need longer to explain it than I have this evening. I will get back to you. It starts with things being done very poorly by clueless people who do not achieve much, and then goes to things being done with integrity and honesty, the hard way, and with purpose despite all around him, and then goes back to the start again. Thats the short version.

Really? Is this a test or have you been around this club for a bit?

Whats my agenda? Wanting the club I love to win football matches? Honestly…..

Manning is not capable of sorting what Nigel Pearson did. Pearson changed a culture which is massively different to coaching a set of players. We have lost that. By the way, the same set of players that ran through walls for Nigel Pearson are now bickering and drifting around like strangers. No amount of time “on the grass” working on “distances” and “patterns of play” will change that.

With respect, its rubbish football and you are looking for some sort of purist angle to justify the fact its just not very good. Fans gave him a shot, we are abysmal to watch. Compact, distances, blah blah. We do not score goals. We do not win points. We lost v Ipswich by the way.

This is the nail on head post. The “right” appointment was Nigel Pearson. But the regime hated him. The “wrong” appointment is Liam Manning, but the regime love him and think he is the “right” appointment. In other words, we are right in it.
