Why did you lot hate him so much?

Thought he did a great job off the pitch, on the pitch I thought it was pretty average. was never getting a new deal and wasn’t getting the best of our signings and didn’t threaten enough up top.that’s my view on him.

Absolutely. 

And holding the ownership to account for the things they have said. 

For me that looks like the expectation that we get in the play offs this season.

The expectation from me is that Manning has to deliver with the squad he has got. 

Money will be made available in January but in my opinion it should be of the similar amount as Nige would have recieved. 

In my opinion there is no money available to bring in players to fit the formation and style Manning may wish to play. Manning needs to adapt to what we have got.

I'd be absolutely pissed off if Manning suddenly allowed to sign 5 players in January when most thought that Pearson needed at least two players in the summer which would have seen us compete more.

Those are the things the club stated so I will hold them to that.

 

Are you in love with Nigel? Genuine question.

"You stated that you sacked NP because you felt we had a squad that should be competing at the top, what makes you believe that LM can deliver those immediate goals?

Irrelevant because he doesn’t need to, not his fault you fell for the company line. He will be given time and rightly so.

Blimey.  Tough audience!  He’s basically just spent 30 mins asking some pretty involved questions in front of his new boss and the local and National media.   Thought he did really well with lots of detail and adapted to the different types of questions.   

 

Very impressive press conference. Proper answers none of the LJ nonsense.

Cult of Nigel in full force.

Very impressive, a forward thinking modern coach….might we see some decent football down the gate.

Jon Lansdown, Chairman

Jonathan to you peasant.

Well done to the club for getting in a highly rated young coach, his credentials are far superior to the likes of LJ and DH, a good appointment.

Excellent summary from a Bristol Sport employee. 

Well you’re very wrong, please do tell my name and job role? 

A forward thinking appointment.

I wish Pearson pulled your pants down he probs could have used one of his crutches and shoved it up your arse!! Sideways

I probably would’ve enjoyed it to be fair.

Better pedigree no chance

Agree with you totally. Putting my disappointment at his imminent arrival to one side I feel a bit sorry for the bloke. Unwanted by many and with a target that’s very tough and somewhat unlikely. If he pulls it off fantastic, but you’d have to say it’s unlikely. Presumably if he doesn’t achieve it he will be sacked too?

Pearson pulled your pants down, it’s not 2010 anymore, Manning will be an excellent appointment.

An excellent appointment, I think the club have gone early to get their man as he was going to be linked with some big clubs, well done.

Welcome and good luck to him, pleased with this.

You really think that’s the calibre of their squad?  

It was. It isn’t anymore. Manager makes players better.

******* hope note! Hardly the upgrade on Pearson we apparently need!

That’s what Ipswich said about McKenna, and he has somehow got them into 2nd with a bunch of lower end champ high end l1 players. 

Just now, Sandhurst Red said:

It's Manning. 

A very positive and forward thinking appointment. 

Yep my thoughts.

Which tells me this is someone outside of the usual rumour merry go round

This is really weird, I haven’t seen the tweet referred to (and the other poster is correct he wants to replace PdC as President of FC Porto he is not going back into management) but I woke up this morning to a DM on Twitter from a Portuguese football account I follow wanting to put what appears to be a journalist in touch with me to ask questions about “Bristol”. It’s all a bit cryptic as in his initial message he says he is following up a story from England and asking about the salary of the Bristol trainer job. He hasn’t replied for an hour though so I don’t know what it’s about.

I’m still Pearson in so I don’t care.

Interesting, a guy close to my seat yesterday said he lived near one of the players and then someone from Belgium had been strongly interviewed...

Why would he leave a team chasing the champions league for us? Career suicide.

Assume is a free agent due to time scales. Likely his own coaching team if Fleming has been released. High press and develops players.

Couldnt be Jesse Marsch, could it?

JL said how far off the betting market was in his interview - I haven't seen JM in any.

Turned down Southampton when they were in the prem - cant see him coming to a mid table champ club.

Who we thinking it is?

I have no idea but I just put a bet on Hasenhüttl at 40/1. 

Must be someone out of a job currently?
