I think I heard Ian say that Tinnion had nothing to do with the appointment of Manning. I’m normally defender of Ian but that has to be nonsense. How the hell can the most senior football person at the club not be involved. In fact I’d probably put money on that Tinnion was instrumental in identifying Manning to the board.

I’m fed up with watching what Manning is serving up but will definitely renew. Why? Because it’s my club and it’s what I do.

You’re missing the point. He is literally the only bloke who is keeping the club afloat. There is no one else waiting in the wings waiting to pay £20 or 30 million every year to write off our debts to keep the club going.

Of course he can. He’s got enough money to just write us off. We’d be knackered then.

It’s not anyone who has got £100,000,000. ask yourself what would we do if Lansdown said **** this I’m off. Who’d cover the £20 or 30 million loss every season?

I’ll ask you again who do you want to take over?

So who do you want to take over? Perhaps you’ve got about £100,000,000 to make bid.

Why do you find it necessary to be so unnecessarily rude?

I thought we did entertain tonight. I was there, although bitterly disappointed I was certainly entertained particularly in the 2nd half after easily containing Ipswich before ht.

Classy. is that a yes or no?

Are you interested in buying the club then?

Are you going to buy it?

Points vs Ipswich. Are you having a laugh?

Nonsense.

I was there. That victory has to be the best away win in my 66 years following City.

Tinnion and Lansdown can’t allow Manning to fail by finishing lower than Pearson so loan signing sanctioned.

So Steve has to sell up and leave. That means someone has to what to buy the club off him. Unless you have a few hundred million stashed away somewhere.

Oops. That’ll teach me to watch before commenting.

I was at that match stood down the open end with my old Dad. If I recall correctly Peter Cormack, who we signed from Liverpool, scored both of the goals. One a penalty?

I don’t find it funny at all. In fact I find it rude, embarrassing and totally disrespectful to Jon and the Lansdown family. IMO If they stopped funding the debt we’d be screwed.

I agree with the poster who said that the problems started when Richard Gould left. I also think that some of the comments on this thread about Jon Lansdown are both embarrassing and childish.

With Sykes on the left and Weinman I’ve no idea where (did buggar all ) Tanner could either pass it back to Vyner or morph into Karl Walker and beat 2 or 3 defenders then cross it into the box.

Ray Attaveld wasn’t any better either.

Re annoying Tinnion. For me I’d always take Pearsons decisions rather than Tinnion. Let’s face it he played consistently at a higher level, has huge experience of managing several clubs and numerous players ( including internationals) over many years, rather than managing for just a few months like Tinnion and unfortunately failing dramatically. Pearson developed academy players and sold them for millions and integrated many academy players into the 1st team squad so surely his achievements associated to the academy and selection of young players are beyond criticism. Incredible that perhaps annoying Tinnion (and goodness knows how he managed to get the job of Technical Director) might have contributed to Pearson losing his job.

So Mehmeti is awful, Bell misses an absolute sitter, Weinman had another shocker and frankly looks finished, Tanner is probably league 1 and fans pile in on O’Leary.
