Is it supposed to be just audio?

I was ahead of the game. I rang the club a month ago and was told that I had to call Supporter services at 10am today to move my seat. I spent an hour on the phone queuing, having hit the call button. I was 20th in the queue. Eventually a very nice lady answered and I soon found out that it was a difficult process, due to me having paid by direct debit. She completed the process and told me that it would have been easier to do it online. I said that I was doing what I had been told and she said that it wasn’t communicated very well by the club! My mate is trying to move seats online and it won’t accept the £1.25 fee. It appears that neither of us was ahead of the game!

Whereas Tottenham fans say that their club is so “Spursy”, what would be the correct term for our fabulous club and its processes? I can’t think of a description that would get past the administrators.

‘Shitty’

I’m sorry, am I reading this correctly? 
 

The Technical Director has appeared on a podcast hosted by.. Tony Wilkins?! 
 

That is such a Bristol Rovers move that my little brain can’t even comprehend it.

Yep. Currently retweeting stuff by Braverman, Patel and Tice.

The “plan” clearly involves “young, hungry” players.

He says the same thing about six times..

Certainly makes the point that we won’t be signing “31 year olds looking for a last big payday”.

This is a very simplistic answer, the likes of Wilbraham & Wade Elliott show that you can get real value from older players.

Dismisses the question about the value of King & James very swiftly, too..

Is that real?

Christ.

It is. I haven’t listened to it so won’t pass full judgement.

But considering his (Wilkins, not Tinnion) views on immigration, feels a bit odd considering Anis Mehmeti’s background.

Is this the Tony Wilkins one? Find it really strange he’d make to be associated with him. 

Blokes website/profile looks a bit weird. No mention of qualifications and works a lot with celebs.

Doesn’t scream best in class with sport’s performance.

I watched Coppell’s ATK team in India a few years ago. He had a few jobs for someone who walked away from football when he quit here. 

India is a lot closer to his beloved Thailand.

Not his job.

Korey Smith only scored one league goal in his time at City, he was still very good.

Vague memory, but didn’t he score a cup goal at some point?

Nahki only has good things to say about Manning:

The latest man in charge in BS3 may only be five years Wells’ senior but in the relatively short period he’s been in place, he’s certainly left an impression on the striker with his openness and willingness to try and improve each and every individual, irrrespctive of whether they’re 33 or 23.

“All managers are different, but what I would say, in working with the gaffer is, first and foremost, he’s a great person, he loves the game, he’s 100 per cent committed to his job and, us as players, he really gives you that feeling that he wants you to progress as player; whether you’re a 19-year-old coming through or an experienced player like myself, there’s always room for improvement,” Wells added.

“His door is open, you walk in to have a chat and next thing you know you’ve been in his office for an hour, you’ve been watching clips, you’ve spoken about things and that’s one of the biggest things that I can say is great about him, it’s continuously wanting to improve you as a player, improve the team, take zero shortcuts and has the way and a process at how he wants to do things and I think it’s coming to fruition, so hats off to him, he’s been a breath of fresh air since he’s been in with his ideas and his training methods.

I don’t think any of the fans would disagree that Manning is a nice bloke, loves football, committed and wants players to improve.

some fans just don’t agree he’s good enough.

He’s the best player out of Ireland, so the EFL wrote to Tinnion and said it’s not fair for him to play u21s. McKenna tried to sign him after he lost 6 in a row at Ipswich.  This is all true, do not fact check. 

Don’t forgot the glowing character reference we got on him from Richard Keogh.

Nothing says family fun day like Alpacas and the Wurzels.

I reckon Manning would have started McCombe yesterday before taking a chance of JKL.

She done ok. Thought she gave some very soft decisions, mainly in our favour. One in particular where Tanner had the ball nicked off him down in our own corner in the first half which she called a very generous foul on.

What I did find strange was the incident where she fell after colliding with Conway (I think), stayed down for a bit probably a little embarrassed and then got up. All that is well and good. But then James checked on her and out his arm around her, and having a laugh at what happened she put her arm around James waist. Is that acceptable on both parts because she is female? Wouldn’t have happened like that if it was a male ref surely?

Yes it would have. Stop looking for outrage.

Sounds like the dodgy fire sticks are the real winner.

We aren’t playing him in his best position either. 

I reckon FA ought to check his betting history.

Mcfazdean on. Got a lot more out of his career than I ever thought he would 

Very close to joining City at one point.

Players of Todd Cantwells level are top Championship level. I think Rangers and Celtic would be competing for promotion in the Champ. If they got to the PL with the extra money and better players they would easily stay in the PL.

The other teams ive seen in the SPL would struggle in the Championship.

Todd Cantwell wasn’t a top end Championship player when he was in the Championship. That’s why he went to Rangers.

The performance?

Sadly I have a growing feeling this squad aren't adaptable enough to a plan B

Completely agree with your second paragraph 

Totally agree, though compared to another loan signing he's a world beater 

On the basis the majority of the previous five pages are moaning it clearly suggests not, but your sad obsession of trying to troll me boringly continues

If you think my post was trolling, I suggest you get a thicker skin.

How is it failing? 

Jeez, do you get a notification whenever someone criticises anything?

Champagne Moment = The complete evisceration of the club's hierarchy and their lack of clarity by @Ron W on Sky Sports*

 

*If everyone could vote for this as Champagne Moment the penny might finally drop

There’s no chance the Trust would publish the results of the champagne moment if it was controversial.

IIRC Mark Ashton leaving won it before but the award was quietly forgotten about.
