Henry

Tbf he’s been locked in there for two days according to @phantom

I wouldn’t be against James signing a one year deal with a to get replacement being bought it to share the load/take over. James plays ever game when fit which can’t be helpful in keeping him fit. With Williams probably going, we need to learn lessons from when we tried to replace Pack and Smith in the last few days of a window at once! That ultimately cost LJ his job IMO.

If you’re to believe @phantom, Manning came down yesterday. Instead of meeting at the ground or training ground, they took me out for a Sunday lunch on the centre. Luckily, no City fans were dining. City then booked out their own suite to do the media today, they kindly let some fans know. He quickly popped back to Oxford to take training though.

Still definitely happening today? Did Liam enjoy his Sunday roast?

I can’t see it being today. Something would be out by now. A lot of the ITKs have gone quiet. Maybe we’ll get the old fashioned ‘the press have been called in’ rumour we used to get.

How was the lunch?

Sounds very similar to Nigel Pearson.

A couple of ‘ITKs’ dropped it in and haven’t really gave any details. Theres a lot of people saying what isn’t happening, truth is, I don’t think anyone really knows. I think it’s unlikely it will be tomorrow.

Really boring isn’t it

Shades of when we beat Rotherham at home when they had 9 men. Looked like a poor league 1 game. But yeah, you’re right Lansdown, definitely a squad that will get you promoted.

Nige said Tanner and Vyner was close. I don’t think he ever have a timeframe for James. It’s no real shock

That car is literally there every week.

Absolutely. I know Ian Gay gets some stick but he’s not the problem on that pod.

Tell you what, if Nige joins OTIB, it will break the internet

My man, my G, my GOAT

The island of hair separating from the rest is giving me Steve McLaren vibes The constant looking at the floor is giving me Joey Barton vibes. On that basis…it’s a no from me.

I definitely play Anis over Sam Bell. Anis played well in the last game and Bell has been poor for a few games now.

Oh yeah, get a popular fan in who they’ve used for PR in the past. I bet Paxman is shitting himself

Given your username, I thought this thread would have been up your street.

So who is?

There’s people are this forum who are saying they wouldn’t take Ten Hag as manager. I don’t think we really know best. I would suggest because Nige is so popular, this will be the most divisive appointment for a long time.

You’re not saying because you’re worried about @Fordy62’s health, right?

Yeah but he had the luxury of having a talented academy and bringing in good players like Rob Dickie.

You do realise you don’t automatically stay in the same position just because you finished there the year before?
