REDOXO

Steve blessings be upon him Cotterill FGR 1up against Wrexham. They’ll give him the freedom of Nailsworth of he pulls an escape off.

A bright spot!

Says it all really. Despite my severe doubts about Mr Manning I still hope he can do something and things just click. However if Mr Manning is still here in July I would be asking for a transfer if I were Tommy. Maybe he can join our real first team at Bournemouth!

Meanwhile! What about that FBC!

Even JL isn’t as dumb as to make that promise.

The way I see it Natch. I even had a bloke saying the other day that LJ was joking about Europa League in five years and I was taking the comment out of context. Im not sure what sets off the revisionism brigade (bots) but it’s got really bad since Mr Manning was brought in to give us the best possible chance!

Ok. So can we all agree that comments came out of the club hierarchy that we want to get promotion this season. Even if they didn’t come directly from JL and BT. Or am I wrong there? Also when Pearson was sacked we had our umpteenth injury crisis and had to play a 19year old center back at Cardiff. Or am I wrong there? The change was obviously sold to supporters as wanting to give the best possible chance of success. I’m not sure what defines success but most would believe JL was talking about a play off push Obviously you were the one that kindly answered my question many thanks For me, I have read so much revisionism about what happened and what was said it’s good to have a point of reference!

I see a lot of argument about what BT/JL stated when firing NP and employing LM. What clips and press cuttings are out there?

Pearson turned Semenyo into a 12m premier league striker. There was a bloody thread on here pages long about how he wasn’t one He gave Scott his debut and nurtured that kid to a 25m windfall He turned Pring into a first team player. Improved his engine and stopped loaning him out He resurrected Vyner from nowhere. Turned OLeary into a championship keeper with stats as good as anyone He took on a club bloated with crap players got rid of the shite and gave contracts to those that were any good. He brought through and gave debuts to countless of our youth team and got shot of those who were never gonna make it. All the while being staved of the money LJ pissed away and facing a points deduction. Most know it some want to rewrite history. However it’s exactly what it is history. Here we go again a Lansdown whim on finding a young coach with no experience with players in this division let alone at least one maybe two with a premier league winners medals. Its all so Bristol ******* City.

To be frank you are both right. Yes it is heartbreaking! They all had an able assistant!

I have. This didn’t need to happen, we weren’t out of the picture under Pearson but there we are. There are a number of players OOC in the summer as I understand it and unless someone knows better I haven’t heard any rumors about extensions? What is known is Mr Manning wants to bring in “his” players. So none of it is conducive to the kind of run of results we would need for the season not to be over, bar a relegation scrap if this garbage continues over the next five games.

Nah. I’ll be 4000 miles away. Unfortunately I’ll be getting up early to watch. Cheese sat behind me at the Leeds game. He wasn’t impressed!

Right oh!

Agggh. So you’re not the REAL TV Tom!

The podcast is actually entertaining for an hour. The boys have been doing it a while and it’s all streamed live on You Tube. @headhunter runs it. You can go on YT and just put in Forever Bristol City and listen to the last episode I’m actually listening to sound of the City on radio drivel as I write. They really miss GT. It’s like a little friendly call in chat show. GT would have really asked the questions that need to be asked and had plenty of callers after the rubbish of the last week This guy has a couple of people on who really add nothing to his show. Its not worth listening to anymore and it shows people aren’t tuning in. Oh and thanks for having your picture taken with me in the Heineken V Leeds!

Bump for @TV Tom benefit

Forever Bristol City podcast. There are plenty of threads about it! In particular Ian whose anti Pearson agenda is legendary, (if rumors are to be believed fueled from inside the club by BT) I think you should listen to some back episodes. As for a small minority with an anti Pearson agenda from the start there were a few that posted here. I bumped a thread for you.

You have never watched FBC then.

By the board you mean Jon and Brian?

We have always been competitive under Manning! What on earth has he been watching before Saturday.

Good to know!

I remember the game well. The EE were baiting him with Stanley where’s ya wife Gone (it was all over the papers his wife had left him) At a corner he turned toward us and shrugged his shoulders. One of the funniest moments in a match I can remember I remember him being stretchered off later. Poor bugger!

I think that is true now. However three defeats in a row will change that.

Yes is the short answer. There are factors to be considered however 1 Three defeats would likely have us five or so points from the bottom three 2 The manner of the defeats is key. Here some talk about defeat as if we were in the game but pluckily lost. That’s not been the case in quite a few defeats we were so poor we couldn’t pass more than 10feet against Leeds and QPR for example. If we don’t show up against Cardiff there will be serious unrest which will carry over.

The topic is a hypothetical would Andy King be a good temporary choice if Mr Manning was relieved. Thus your entire post is pointless much like our last two games.
