Well done Pat. Another classic to “take the learnings” from

Higher than Liam Manning? Or do you need more…

Semi with another L to his name at Ashton Gate

Only an absolute nerd would be that happy with what they’ve seen so far. I’ve just been out with some proper football men, guys that have played at a high level. The consensus is Manning is well out his depth - Time will tell if they’re absolute dinosaurs, or spot on.

The snake was offended by Nige calling out the farcical “loan physio”.

@Ghost Rider you promised a win at half time. What went wrong from your perspective? You seemed to blame the players, claiming some aren’t good enough, which is at odds with your masters statement that the squad is good enough. Which is it?

There’s not a single fan that wants that. And no, the owner doesn’t count toward the total.

Had a glance at the Local Plan docs tonight, and if I had to guess, I’d say the plan is to move off of Westerleigh Road, north of the M4 by Lyde Green. This will be served by the proposed M4 junction by the Folly pub. Theres not really anywhere else that fits the profile, and South Glos have already done a survey if people would go to more events at the South Glos showground which is the same site.

I haven’t been stopped there all season. I wonder if it’s a timing thing (I normally rock up about 45 mins to go)

Yes from me. Mainly because it’s great to do something with just me and the kids. I think they only two things that would stop me at this point, would be appointing someone like Barton as manager, or changing the shirt colour.

Pre covid I’d have agreed, but this season especially it’s like they’ve resurrected the ghost of Lindleys catering. But like you suggest, foods subjective.

Price aside, the quality has dipped massively. Food is as bad now as it was pre-rebuild, which is a real shame.

The expectations placed on him far outstrip what can be delivered in the short term. Ordinarily you’d expect a new manager to come into failing team. In this case, I think broadly speaking the fans were generally content, with green shoots starting to flourish. So straight off the bat, Manning isn’t faced by a low bar. Coupled with the nonsense talk of “top 6 squad” (to paraphrase, before people pick up on the semantics) he has to deliver results while being dealt the same hand that Nige had, with the added complexity of the impact that the upheaval has on the squad.

I didn’t take the kids as it clashed with their games (and they wisely/stupidly choose to play rather than watch City). I wouldn’t be surprised if that scenario was repeated over a couple of thousand season ticket holders.

See I’d see Feb/March as a knee jerk - I guess we all have different tolerance levels. The guys got a difficult job, but I think by this time next year it will give us a better idea if he’s up to it or not.

Blokes only ever won “League One Manager of the month awards”. He’s about as much an expert on winning as JL is on elite sports conditioning and fitness. What a pair.

“It’s 1pm so here is todays team draw, brought to you by our principle partner Huboo” Think of the commercial opportunities…LJ was a visionary /s

Ironic, considering he hasn’t been able to perform in a singular role for sometime now.

Limiting who he’ll sale too (which is great, don’t get me wrong) limits the pool of potential marks buyers, which could change the viability of the asking price. Meanwhile we don’t really see other club sales drawing out for such a timespan, mainly I guess because they are not lumbered with a load of tat. Coupled together, I think that’s probably why the language is changing to “investment” rather than “ownership”.

The evidence suggests otherwise no? He’s been stating it’s been up for sale openly for what, the last 2 years? My guess is privately it would have been much longer.

Decent watch that,

That doesn’t look a great crowd…just as well it wasn’t moved to Cardiff.

I think the actual details will be published on the 4th, or at least the accompanying maps anyway. If it was to go East fringe, I think this means it’s a long way off becoming reality.

Does it? Supposedly where the new M4 junction will go which I can see makes it appealing from a commercial sense - without that though, I’m not sure that it’s a great location. I wonder if it’s the same site that was offered to Rovers, if not, I can’t see where else it would go.
