Bollarks in my view.

Don’t care what anyone says we are passing and moving and playing lovely football, yes forest are sitting back but I can see what we are doing and I think we look very good .

More than matched them we have been far better than them.

Steven ducking Gerrard bloody hell!!

Ouch

Seems a decent bloke apart from his antics on the side and has always been great with those poor very ill kids so I have a lot of respect for him.

No I’m asking what he has done to warrant a new contract I didn’t realise he was ceo I’m not sure what his specific job title is

So does Paul Ince what I meant was track record.

What are his coaching credentials??

Hasn’t done anything to merit a new deal. Low wages or not don’t think anyone is suprised by this??

In L1

I ignored those 2 job changes because they weren’t relevant to the point as you should be able to work out. Rohl young up and coming manager, Plymouth bloke young up and coming manager manning young up and coming manager milwall young and upcoming manager Swansea young upcoming manager QPR upcoming manger. Rooney ex derby and Washington Beale ex QPR and Rangers spot the difference it ain’t rocket science.

You’re trying too hard comparing Rooney to manning I mean what planet are you on. One of the greatest playing careers in recent years v someone who never played pro…..a bloke who has managed big teams v manager who has only managed smaller sides, one who is new to coaching other has 20 years in the bank learning. Very very strange comparison but that’s what people do, no one will take you seriously spouting nonsense like that.

In what way is rooney a manning clone?

This is ExCtly how I see it.

Don’t know.what you’re talking about? He isn’t sweep cleaning that’s just not true.

I can give a handful of things that I have seen. I think we have been better on the ball playing between the 3rds, I don’t think that has been the case every week though. Pring is getting forward more because bell ain’t on the left closing space…..Mehmeti has been looking more dangerous and playing better and Williams looks a completely different player. I think under Pearson it was dour mostly and I will say that under manning it hasn’t been much better dour as well mostly but I am seeing what we are trying to do.

Yea they spoke bullshit I knew that at the time I don’t think they truely believe it themselves not with parachute payments and clubs spending big money like Hull. Well he can be judged all you want by people like you and whoever he isn’t going anywhere so they are just wasting their energy and being negative, up to them, I don’t like to live my life that way but if you do that’s up to you.

Ok maybe fair.

I recon there are definitely some of our fan base all be it small who want us to lose games just so they can say Nige was right etc - I’m not saying everyone just a ver minor number! And for what it’s worth I don’t think manning is the next big thing or the next sir Alex but he needs time!!! That is not an unreasonable expectation so he can stamp his footprint on the side. I have no issue with anyone saying what they think however some people here are being slightly unrealistic!!!

Yes well said the club shot itself in the foot with its comms we don’t have a top 6 squad so why say it!!!! Took us for fools. I actually don’t have issue with the NP decision and I understand why they got manning look at other champ clubs they are all doing it Millwall, Swansea, Plymouth Sheff Wed QPR seem to be all the rage now and they all need time!!!!

Sorry there were times under Pearson where we were awful. And yes there were Better times but I can assure you that SOME clubs in this league would’ve sacked Pearson far sooner. It was not good for large spells. But I will say he had a horrible hand and did ok considering the circumstances. Also had awful times under Holden and LJ. Manning needs time Pearson got time and LJ got time so according to some on here Manning doesn’t deserve time others are wishing him to fail clearly!!!! I have some confidence in what I’ve seen we are going down a different route and already some players are getting better under Manning. Williams, Mehmeti, Pring are getting better funny how people forget about that!!

They were coaching, obviously we WERE being coached im Not saying they came into training did some gym work and sat around having a chat. What I meant was it seemed more old school - work hard hit the channels run around a lot which isn’t the case mow.

We are a team in transition it will take time but I do feel we are being coached for the first time in a very long time, and these effects need to time to have an impact and embed. NP wasn’t a coach and Holden and lj were well out of their depth, I can see what manning is trying to do even if we aren’t seeing it at its best yet.

Give. Him. Time.
