What’s the clubs remit? I see it as ‘employ someone who just says yes all the time because they are grateful to get an opportunity that’s unlikely they would get elsewhere in this league’

He had the squad built by Russell Martin - rode that wave, then ultimately got sacked

Good one

Who said Lampard? Certainly not me And as I mentioned previously - it’s irrelevant who I would have liked / wanted. The point I’m making is - we could have done better than someone who failed with MK Dons and has done nothing in the game to warrant the job he currently resides in

Manning failed somewhere else . He failed at Mk Dons (if we go by your logic)

It’s completely irrelevant who I would have wanted - but we should have been aiming for someone with more experience than we got. The reality is, anyone worth half their salt at this level wouldn’t entertain the thought of coming here because the way the club is ran is amateurish

Why would I want a proven failure? I’ll call it now - Manning will not take us forward. He is the next Lee Johnson Really hope I’m wrong though

I disagree, although I will say the football is average at best. Where we sit in the league is a reflection of the football we play and our performances as a whole My issues and frustrations are with how the club is ran - and how soft we are. The fact we have people in positions that they are not qualified to be in and are well out of their depth - Lansdown Jr and Tinnion are prime examples The opportunities we have wasted in recent years to grasp the opportunity that could take us towards becoming a top 6 team - it’s staggering I personally felt it was time for Pearson to move on, but we were in a prime position to attract someone who could really take us forward - and instead we appoint a failed MK Dons coach and someone who has not done anything at this level and has very little experience of the Championship. Why? Because it comes back to the plebs I mentioned earlier who are out of their depth and are to arrogant to want anyone in who may actually highlight what a piss poor job they do

I think the aim has to be play-offs next year - at the very least a genuine play-off push Manning has a good base to work off of - it shouldn’t be another 3 year plan It won’t happen though as those above are out of their depth and are the ones who are holding this club back

28/29 years I’ve had a season ticket - and my reason for hardly going any more and and not renewing next year is just around the whole match day experience now. It really is dire, I just don’t enjoy it like I used to. As for expectation. I don’t expect success - never have done, lots of my season ticket seasons seen us in League 1 in front of 11k. I wouldn’t want us back there but I enjoyed my days out a lot more then Who knows - i May start missing it when I don’t renew and after a break, but for now I’m happy to take in the occasional away game (which I still really enjoy) and watch the home games at home

Nope. And certainly won’t be renewing Save your money and get a fire stick. At least you can switch it off when they dish up the same shit as they have for the last 8 years

They are a bigger club than us but the club has been on a real upward trajectory in the last couple of years. That will play a massive part l I can’t remember them bringing thousands when they were managed by Mick McCarthy and coming mid-table every season. Now if we are making comparisons - that’s exactly where we find ourselves now. We are in a very similar position to what they were under Big Mick

I’m glad I’m not the only one. He has done ok but has our centre midfielders been so below average in recent times that it’s almost conned people into thinking he has been exceptional The centre midfield position needs addressing pre-season. It’s been weak for far to long

It may be said a little in jest but let’s be honest, what’s the guy achieved as a coach to suggest he is capable of taking this club forward He shouldn’t have been given the job. Only got it because he will end up being another Yes man

Get a decent coach

Said it before and I will say it again - he has done absolutely nothing in the game to suggest he will take us forward. And he has shown very little since coming in either Another Lee Johnson. A yes man who is learning on he job

First paragraph - absolutely right second paragraph- absolutely wrong. Nige football was equally as shit as today . I don’t understand why people keep trying to make out it wasn’t

Anyone would be forgiven for thinking he was a league 1 / League 2 coach with absolutely no real experience of success behind him …..

hilarious The most Bristol City performance and result ever. Mid-table team, mid-table manager - mid table club

I don’t want to see Mebude anywhere near the first team any time soon

People expecting great things from this lad when the reality is 3 weeks ago no one had ever heard of the kid

As someone posted on here a bit earlier - we don’t have the mental strength when a little bit of expectation comes along. We can’t handle it That’s nothing new. It has been like that with this club for as long as I can remember Very soft

Only a matter of time before we concede again. Really, really disappointing today - sadly predictable thought

We are simply a bog standard average team in this league. QPR should (I emphasise the word should) - be a little higher then they are There isn’t a lot of difference between us and them

They can’t even complete a 15 yard pass….
